Unravelling the Genetic Structure of Local and Mainstream Red‐Pied Cattle Breeds Using Genomics and Extended Pedigree Analysis

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT During the last decade, there has been a growing interest for local and endangered breeds as they are often seen as more resilient and healthier than mainstream breeds. They can also provide high added‐value products like meat or dairy products.

Population Differentiation and Polygenic Selection in the Finnish Ayrshire Cows Selected on Genomic Information

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Finnish Ayrshire cattle belong to the Nordic Red breeds. The basis of selection in Nordic Red breeds shifted from traditional pedigree‐based breeding values to genomic breeding values between 2011 and 2014. Joint genetic evaluation and admixture among the Nordic Red breeds have led to the formation of a composite Nordic Red population ...

Conservation Status of Two Italian Local Poultry Breeds: Faraona Camosciata and Oca Padovana

Animal Genetics, Volume 57, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The present study aimed to assess the conservation status and characterize the phenotypic and genomic diversity of two endangered Italian poultry genetic resources to guide their conservation plans. Blood samples and morphometric data were collected on 50 Faraona Camosciata (FAC, Numida meleagris) and 50 Oca Padovana (OPD, Anser anser) adult ...

Genomic Signatures of Microgeographic Adaptation in Anopheles coluzzii Across Urban, Rural, and Forested Environments in Gabon

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 8, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Species distributed across heterogeneous environments often evolve locally adapted populations, but understanding how these persist in the presence of homogenizing gene flow remains puzzling. In Gabon, Anopheles coluzzii, a major African malaria mosquito, is found in various ecological settings, including urban areas, remote rural villages ...

Runs of Homozygosity as Footprints of Selection in the Norik of Muran Horse Genome

Acta Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 2019
The aim of this study was to analyse the genome-wide distribution of runs of homozygosity (ROH) segments in the genome of Norik of Muran horse and to identify the regions under strong selection pressure. Overall, 25 animals genotyped by the GGP Equine70k

Autozygosity Mapping of a Seckel Syndrome Locus to Chromosome 3q22.1-q24 [PDF]

The American Journal of Human Genetics, 2000
Seckel syndrome (MIM 210600) is an autosomal recessive disorder of low birth weight, severe microcephaly, and dysmorphic facial appearance with receding forehead, prominent nose, and micrognathia. We have performed a genomic screen in two consanguineous families of Pakistani origin and found that the disorder segregates with markers between loci ...

Genome-wide autozygosity is associated with lower general cognitive ability [PDF]

, 2018
Inbreeding depression refers to lower fitness among offspring of genetic relatives. This reduced fitness is caused by the inheritance of two identical chromosomal segments (autozygosity) across the genome, which may expose the effects of (partially ...

Accurate Runs of Homozygosity Estimation From Low Coverage Genome Sequences in Non‐Model Species

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Runs of homozygosity (ROH) are increasingly being analysed using whole genome sequences in non‐model species as a measure of inbreeding and to assess demographic history, thus providing useful information for conservation. However, most studies have used Plink for ROH inference which performs poorly when sequencing depth is below 10×, often ...
