Studies on biochemical polymorphism in bovines. I. Haemoglobin variations inHariana breed of cattle

Geographic distribution of bovine Hemoglobin‐beta (Hbb) alleles and the phylogenetic analysis of the cattle in Eastern Asia

“…The rare variants Hbb-X and Hbb-C have been reported in Indian zebu breeds by NAIK and SANGHVI (1965), NAIK etal. (1965) andNAIK et al (1969) and by CROCKETT et al (1963), SEN et al (1966), KHANNA et al (1970) and SINGH and KHANNA (1973), respectively. Because the two variants were electrophoretically identical (see CROCKETT et al 1963 andNAIK andSANGHVI 1965), the author will use the term of Hbb-X for both variants in the present paper.…”

Microsatellite Markers as a Tool for Characterization of Small Ruminants: A Review

“…National Bureau of Animal Genetic Resources (NBAGR) which was established in 1984 is considered as the beginning of the efforts for characterization and conservation of livestock genetic resources. At the beginning efforts made by NBAGR and other research groups in India were concentrated on the morphological (Joshi et al, 1995;Nivsarkar et al, 2000;Sahana, 2000;Pundir et al, 2003;Pundir et al, 2004;Verma et al, 2005;Vij et al, 2006) and biochemical marker based (Khanna and Singh, 1970;Singh and Bhat, 1980) characterization of the livestock. However, in 1997, at National Bureau of Plant genetic resources, New Delhi, it was decided that microsatellite markers would be used for molecular characterization of native livestock.…”
