Latest Biotechnological Approaches for Efficient Buffalo Production
Year: 2013
Type: article
Abstract: The buffalo is imperative to the lives of small farmers and to the economy of the developing countries. Genome analysis of buffalo had advanced significantly in recent years. The completion of whole genome sequencing projects has brought a wealth of information about the structure of animal genome. High throughput technologies made feasible by sequencing and re-sequencing of some economically significant livestock species has led to the foundation of several thousand single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), insertions/deletions (indels), or structural variants. All these biotechnological tools combine with bioinformatics tools and softwares would be of massive assist in understanding of buffalo genomes for efficient production. In the future, the proficient livestock production would be rely on even more profoundly on existing and promising biotechnological advances for better improvement in production efficiency.
