  • METHODS FOR SCREENING BIOLOGICAL SAMPLES FOR CONTAMINATION
    Publication number: 20220025443
    Abstract: The invention includes a method of screening a biological sample for contamination by sequencing a first biological sample at a first depth to generate a first nucleotide sequence; determining map coordinates for one or more homozygous loci in the first nucleotide sequence; sequencing a second biological sample at a second depth to generate a second nucleotide sequence, wherein the second depth is lower than the first depth; determining loci in the second nucleotide sequence at the determined map coordinates; and comparing the one or more homozygous loci in the first nucleotide sequence with the determined loci in the second nucleotide sequence.

  • GENETIC MARKERS FOR BOAR TAINT
    Publication number: 20110263435
    Abstract: Genetic markers are disclosed with a useful association with boar taint that can be used for screening and selection of pigs for those with more favorable boar taint characteristics associated with androstenone/skatole metabolism. Specific polymorphic alleles of the 3?HSD, 3?HSD, CYP17A1, CYP2A, CYP2E1, CYTB5, BAC-CT and/or SULT1A1 genes are disclosed for tests to screen pigs to determine those more likely to produce desired boar taint traits.

  • Genetic markers associated with scrotal hernias in pigs
    Publication number: 20040126795
    Abstract: A method for screening for scrotal hernias in animals is disclosed. The method involves assays for genetic differences in the MIS, GPX4A, and FSHb genes of the animal which are associated with scrotal hernias.
