Characterization of Autozygosity in Pigs in Three-Way Crossbreeding [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2021
Crossbreeding in livestock can be used to increase genetic diversity. The resulting increase in variability is related to the heterozygosity of the crossbred animal. The evolution of diversity during crossbreeding can be assessed using genomic data.

Associations of autozygosity with a broad range of human phenotypes [PDF]

open access: yesNature Communications, 2019
Inbreeding depression has been observed in many different species, but in humans a systematic analysis has been difficult so far. Here, analysing more than 1.3 million individuals, the authors show that a genomic inbreeding coefficient (FROH) is ...

Influence of autozygosity on common disease risk across the phenotypic spectrum. [PDF]

open access: yesCell, 2023
Autozygosity is associated with rare Mendelian disorders and clinically relevant quantitative traits. We investigated associations between the fraction of the genome in runs of homozygosity (FROH) and common diseases in Genes & Health (n = 23,978 British South Asians), UK Biobank (n = 397,184), and 23andMe.

Detecting autozygosity through runs of homozygosity: A comparison of three autozygosity detection algorithms [PDF]

open access: yesBMC Genomics, 2011
Background A central aim for studying runs of homozygosity (ROHs) in genome-wide SNP data is to detect the effects of autozygosity (stretches of the two homologous chromosomes within the same individual that are identical by descent) on phenotypes ...

Comparing Genomic and Pedigree Inbreeding Coefficients in the Slovenian Lipizzan Horse as a Case Study for Small Closed Populations [PDF]

open access: yesAnimals
In small, closed populations such as the Lipizzan horse, maintaining genetic diversity while limiting inbreeding is a key challenge in conservation breeding.

Persistence of autozygosity in crossbreds between autochthonous and cosmopolitan breeds of swine: a simulation study

open access: yesAnimal
Crossbreeding might be a valid strategy to valorize local pig breeds. Crossbreeding should reduce homozygosity and, as a consequence, yield hybrid vigor for fitness and production traits.

Genomic characterization of autozygosity and recent inbreeding trends in all major breeds of US dairy cattle

open access: yesJournal of Dairy Science, 2022
: Maintaining a genetically diverse dairy cattle population is critical to preserving adaptability to future breeding goals and avoiding declines in fitness.

Autozygosity influences cardiometabolic disease-associated traits in the AWI-Gen sub-Saharan African study

open access: yesNature Communications, 2020
The prevalence of cardiometabolic diseases (CMDs) is increasing rapidly across Africa. Here, the authors investigate autozygosity in CMD-associated traits in over 10,000 sub-Saharan African individuals, showing these traits are influenced by sex-specific

Autozygosity and Genetic Differentiation of Landrace and Large White Pigs as Revealed by the Genetic Analyses of Crossbreds

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2019
Genomic information from crossbreds is routinely generated for genomic evaluations. The objective of this study is to investigate autozygosity and genetic differentiation in Landrace by Large-White breeds by using the genotypic information of SNP arrays ...

Estimates of Autozygosity Through Runs of Homozygosity in Farmed Coho Salmon [PDF]

open access: yesGenes, 2020
The characterization of runs of homozygosity (ROH), using high-density single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) allows inferences to be made about the past demographic history of animal populations and the genomic ROH has become a common approach to ...
