  • Nucleic acid and other molecules associated with lactation and muscle and fat deposition
    Publication number: 20020137160
    Abstract: The present invention is in the field of bovine biochemistry and genetics. More specifically the invention relates to nucleic acid sequences from cattle, in particular, nucleic acid sequences associated with lactation and muscle and fat deposition. The invention encompasses nucleic acid molecules that encode proteins and fragments of proteins. In addition, the invention also encompasses proteins and fragments of proteins so encoded and antibodies capable of binding these proteins or fragments. The invention also relates to methods of using the nucleic acid molecules, proteins and fragments of proteins, and antibodies, for example for genome mapping, gene identification and analysis, cattle breeding, preparation of constructs for use in cattle gene expression, and genetically improved cattle.
    Type: Application
    Filed: October 26, 2001
    Publication date: September 26, 2002
    Inventors: John C. Byatt, Nagappan Mathialagan, Nengbing Tao, Wesley C. Warren
