| Abstract | Genetic polymorphisms in genes related to neurotransmitters or hormones affectpersonality or behavioral traits in many animal species including humans. In domesticanimals, the allele frequency of such genes has been reported to be different among breedsand it may account for breed differences in behavior. In this study, we investigated breeddifferences in horses in the dopamine receptor D4 gene (DRD4), which has been reported toaffect horse personality. We collected samples from seven horse breeds including thosenative to Japan and Korea, and compared the sequence of the DRD4 exon3 region among thesebreeds. We found that there were two types of polymorphisms (VNTR and SNPs) in the exon3region, and some of them seemed to be breed-specific. In addition, we found that theallele frequency of G292A, reported to be associated with horse personality, differedgreatly between native Japanese horses and Thoroughbred horses. The frequency of the Aallele which is associated with low curiosity and high vigilance, was much lower in nativeJapanese horses (Hokkaido, 0.03; Taishu, 0.08) than in Thoroughbreds (0.62). Thisdifference may account for breed differences in personality or behavioral traits. Furtherstudies of the function of these polymorphisms and their effect on behavior areindicated. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
