Transcription profiling provides insights into gene pathways involved in horn and scurs development in cattle
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Two types of horns are evident in cattle - fixed horns attached to the skull and a variation called scurs, which refers to small loosely attached horns. Cattle lacking horns are referred to as polled. Although both the <it>Poll...
