Book cover Genome Mapping and Genomics in Domestic Animals

Part of the book series: Genome Mapping and Genomics in Animals ((MAPPANIMAL,volume 3))

Evidence from mitochondrial DNA indicates divergence of two cattle taxa, Bos indicus and Bos taurus, more than 100,000 years ago. These two taxa were likely domesticated independently some 10,000 years before present. Numerous bovine-specific genomic resources are now available or being developed, including full-length cDNA clones, long-oligo microarrays, high density SNP arrays, and the whole genome sequence. These genomic tools will facilitate defining molecular mechanisms underlying phenotypes of interest in both beef and dairy cattle. Causative mutations for a few economically important traits have been identified, such as milk yield, fat, and protein percentage in dairy cattle, and marbling in beef cattle, with more discoveries on the horizon.
