A complete mitochondrial genome sequence from a mesolithic wild aurochs (Bos primigenius)
BRADLEY, DANIEL GERARD MARY (2010)ackground: The derivation of domestic cattle from the extinct wild aurochs ( Bos primigenius ) has been well-documented by archaeological and genetic studies. Genetic studies point towards the Neolithic Near East as ... -
Dual Origins of Dairy Cattle Farming Evidence from a Comprehensive Survey of European Y-Chromosomal Variation
BRADLEY, DANIEL GERARD MARY (PLoS, 2011)Background: Diversity patterns of livestock species are informative to the history of agriculture and indicate uniqueness of breeds as relevant for conservation. So far, most studies on cattle have focused on mitochondrial ... -
Evidence of balanced diversity at the chicken interleukin 4 receptor alpha chain locus
O'FARRELLY, CLIONA; BRADLEY, DANIEL GERARD MARY; LLOYD, ANDREW THOMAS (2009)BACKGROUND: The comparative analysis of genome sequences emerging for several avian species with the fully sequenced chicken genome enables the genome-wide investigation of selective processes in functionally important ... -
Evidence of the adaptive evolution of immune genes in chicken
LLOYD, ANDREW THOMAS; O'FARRELLY, CLIONA; BRADLEY, DANIEL GERARD MARY (2009)The basis for understanding the characteristics of gene functional categories in chicken has been enhanced by the ongoing sequencing of the zebra finch genome, the second bird species to be extensively sequenced. This ... -
A Genome Wide Association Scan of Bovine Tuberculosis Susceptibility in Holstein-Friesian Dairy Cattle
FINLAY, EMMA; BRADLEY, DANIEL GERARD MARY (2012)BACKGROUND: Bovine tuberculosis is a significant veterinary and financial problem in many parts of the world. Although many factors influence infection and progression of the disease, there is a host genetic component and ... -
Genome-Wide Association Analysis of Avian Resistance to Campylobacter jejuni Colonization Identifies Risk Locus Spanning the CDH13 Gene
BRADLEY, DANIEL GERARD MARY; O'FARRELLY, CLIONA (2013)The enteropathogen Campylobacter jejuni is a major worldwide health and economic burden, being one of the leading causes of bacterial gastroenteritis and commonly linked to postinfectious onset of autoimmune disease. ... -
Genome-wide associations for milk production and somatic cell score in Holstein-Friesian cattle in Ireland
BRADLEY, DANIEL GERARD MARY (2012)Background: Contemporary dairy breeding goals have broadened to include, along with milk production traits, a number of non-production-related traits in an effort to improve the overall functionality of the dairy cow. ... -
Novel SNP Discovery in African Buffalo, Syncerus caffer, Using High-Throughput Sequencing
BRADLEY, DANIEL GERARD MARY (2012)The African buffalo, Synceruscaffer , is one of the most abundant and ecologically important species of megafauna in the savannah ecosystem. It is an important prey species, as well as a host for a vast array of nematodes, ... -
Runs of homozygosity and population history in cattle
BRADLEY, DANIEL GERARD MARY (2012)Background: Runs of homozygosity (ROH) are contiguous lengths of homozygous genotypes that are present in an individual due to parents transmitting identical haplotypes to their offspring. The extent and frequency of ROHs ... -
Spatial trends of genetic variation of domestic ruminants in Europe
BRADLEY, DANIEL GERARD MARY (2010)The introduction of livestock species in Europe has been followed by various genetic events, which created a complex spatial pattern of genetic differentiation. Spatial principal component (sPCA) analysis and spatial metric ...
