2004 journal article

A large-sample QTL study in mice: III. Reproduction

MAMMALIAN GENOME, 15(11), 878–886.

By: J. Rocha*, E. Eisen n, F. Siewerdt n, L. Van Vleck* & D. Pomp*

MeSH headings : Animals; Chromosome Mapping; Female; Genetic Markers; Genitalia, Female / physiology; Likelihood Functions; Litter Size / genetics; Litter Size / physiology; Male; Mice; Ovulation / genetics; Ovulation / physiology; Pregnancy; Pregnancy Outcome / genetics; Quantitative Trait Loci
TL;DR: Using lines of mice having undergone long-term selection for high and low growth, a large-sample experiment was conducted to gain further understanding of the genetic architecture of complex polygenic traits, and some support for the relevance of QTL × genetic background interactions in reproduction was detected.

2000 journal article

Correlated changes in fertility and fitness traits in lines of oMt1a-oGH transgenic mice selected for increased 8-week body weight

JOURNAL OF ANIMAL BREEDING AND GENETICS-ZEITSCHRIFT FUR TIERZUCHTUNG UND ZUCHTUNGSBIOLOGIE, 117(2), 83–95.

By: F. Siewerdt n, E. Eisen n & J. Murray *

TL;DR: The comparison of specific mating groups involving transgenic and nontransgenic mates revealed that the only consistent disadvantage in having a transgenic parent was the increase in the length of the cohabitation to littering interval. (via Semantic Scholar)

2000 journal article

Response to 13 generations of selection for increased 8-week body weight in lines of mice carrying a sheep growth hormone-based transgene

Journal of Animal Science, 78(4), 832–845.

By: F. Siewerdt n, E. Eisen n, J. Murray * & I. Parker n

MeSH headings : Animals; Female; Growth Hormone / genetics; Inbreeding; Least-Squares Analysis; Male; Mice; Mice, Transgenic / genetics; Sheep / genetics; Weight Gain / genetics
TL;DR: Evaluated selection in lines of transgenic mice suggest that constructs similar to the oMt1a-oGH, which allow tight regulation, may be successfully incorporated into commercial livestock and should have larger effects in populations that have not been subject to selection.

1998 journal article

Gene action of the oMt1a-oGH transgene in two lines of mice with distinct selection backgrounds

JOURNAL OF ANIMAL BREEDING AND GENETICS-ZEITSCHRIFT FUR TIERZUCHTUNG UND ZUCHTUNGSBIOLOGIE, 115(3), 211–226.

By: F. Siewerdt n, E. Eisen n, J. Conrad-Brink & J. Murray *

TL;DR: Results indicate that incorporation of the oMt1a-oGH in populations of mice should be successful, and the transgene insert showed dominance effects on body, fat pads and organs weights. (via Semantic Scholar)
