A genome-wide association study for the number of teats in European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) identifies several candidate genes affecting this trait.

abstract：:Three genomic clones were isolated from a size-selected pig DNA library by hybridization with a DNA-fingerprint probe. Analysis at the sequence level revealed that all three clones contain interrupted stretches of triplet repeats mainly composed of CAC and CAT triplets. Evaluation of the corresponding loci for polymor...
