Abstract

HEFER, C.A.; JOUBERT, F.  and  VAN MARLE-KOSTER, E.. Angoradb: A database for QTL research in Angora goats. S. Afr. j. anim. sci. [online]. 2005, vol.35, n.4, pp.249-252. ISSN 2221-4062.

Biological data repositories are widely applied to assist researchers in effectively storing and retrieving data. The recent developments in molecular biology intensified the need for well-designed biological databases, which can be queried without increasing the computational time. This study describes the design of a biological databank for the primary data collection phase, which involves collection and storing of genotypic and phenotypic information of a number of South African Angora goat herds, which will be utilised in a QTL study for mohair traits.

Keywords : Angora goats; biological databank; genotypic; phenotypic information.
