Intense selective pressures applied over short evolutionary time have resulted in homogeneity within, but substantial variation among, horse breeds. Utilizing this population structure, 744 individuals from 33 breeds, and a 54,000 SNP genotyping array, breed-specific targets of selection were identified using an FST-based statistic calculated 500-kb windows across the genome. A 5.5-Mb region ECA18, which myostatin (MSTN) gene was centered, contained highest signature both Paint Quarter...
Horses were domesticated from the Eurasian steppes 5,000–6,000 years ago. Since then, use of horses for transportation, warfare, and agriculture, as well selection desired traits fitness, has resulted in diverse populations distributed across world, many which have become or are process becoming formally organized into closed, breeding (breeds). This report describes a genome-wide set autosomal SNPs 814 36 breeds to provide first detailed description equine breed diversity. FST calculations,...
Previous research has suggested that the adhesin encoded by F18 fimbrial operon in Escherichia coli is either FedE or FedF protein. In this work, we show anti-FedF antibodies, unlike anti-FedE serum, were able to inhibit E. adhesion porcine enterocytes. Moreover, specific enterocytes was shown with purified FedF-maltose binding
Crib-biting in horses is a stereotypic oral behaviour. Genetic susceptibility has been suggested on causal basis, together with environmental factors such as stress, gastric discomfort and frustration caused by stall restrictions. This study aimed to test the associations of known or suspected genes equine crib-biting, including Ghrelin, Ghrelin receptor, Leptin, Dopamine μ-opioid N-cadherin, Serotonin receptor Semaphorin. We conducted candidate gene case–control design, 98 crib-biting 135...
Abstract One of the most crucial issues in study human–animal relations is power humans over animal death and how it has been processed culturally by ways carcasses have treated. In this article, post-domestic phase entered investigating burial working horses Finnish countryside during 19th early 20th centuries. Toward that end, 115 horse burials, 134 cemeteries, 61 places or kill sites were examined through interviews with local people, a search literature place names. Six excavated several...
Everyday objects manufactured from raw materials of animal origin, such as skin, hair and bone, are innumerable in cultural historical museums private collections. Besides their value memoirs past techniques, livelihoods communities, they a unique source for studying populations by means molecular analysis. Here, we deal with horse mane tail hair, type predecessor modern synthetic material utilized, example, brushes, strings, tennis rackets, ropes, textiles, dolls' rocking horses, filling....
We used historical DNA samples to examine the history of a native horse breed, Finnhorse. Samples were collected from private collections, museums, schools and excavations, representing times prior to, during, after foundation breed; end 19th century throughout 20th century. sequenced fragment mitochondrial these study evolution maternal lineages horses back early days compared sequence diversity different periods modern day Finnhorses, estimated effective population sizes, searched for both...
