We were investigating a candidate causal mutation for the juvenile onset form of the disease within that same region. (vetmed.ucdavis.edu)
Eventually, discovery of the mutations that contribute to these disorders will enable the most accurate breeding decisions based on causal mutations. (www2.vet.cornell.edu)
They then identified the putative causal mutations in genes controlling shattering (a key domestication trait among cereal crops). (science.sciencemag.org)
