Comparison of conventional BLUP and single-step genomic BLUP evaluations for yearling weight and carcass traits in Hanwoo beef cattle using single trait and multi-trait models

PLoS ONE, 2019
Hanwoo, an important indigenous and popular breed of beef cattle in Korea, shows rapid growth and has high meat quality. Its yearling weight (YW) and carcass traits (backfat thickness, carcass weight- CW, eye muscle area, and marbling score) are ...

Genetic Parameters of Methane Emission, Feed Efficiency, Feeding Behaviour, and Growth Traits in Beef Cattle

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change has intensified the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, particularly methane (CH4) from enteric fermentation. Genetic selection has emerged as a promising mitigation strategy; however, studies on Bos taurus indicus , especially Nellore cattle, remain limited.

Unknown parent groups and truncated pedigree in single-step genomic evaluations of Murrah buffaloes

Journal of Dairy Science
: Missing pedigrees may produce bias in genomic evaluations. Thus, strategies to deal with this problem have been proposed as using unknown parent groups (UPG) or truncated pedigrees.

Use of Cluster Analysis for Identifying Metafounders

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In the metafounder approach, the relationship matrix of metafounders, Γ$$ \boldsymbol{\Gamma} $$ is used to transfer information on relationships between pedigree founders into the numerator relationship matrix A$$ \mathbf{A} $$, creating matrix AΓ$$ {\mathbf{A}}^{\boldsymbol{\Gamma}} $$.

Odabir i stupnjevanje nazimica koristeći BLUP

Stočarstvo : Časopis za unapređenje stočarstva, 2004
Selekcija nazimica u Republici Hrvatskoj do nedavno se provodila prema selekcijskim ekonomskim indeksima Međutim koeficijenti upotrebljavanih indeksa nisu bili procijenjeni na temelju podataka domaće populacije, već su preuzeti iz literature. U svinjogojstvu Hrvatske prelazi se na odabir nazimica temeljem procjene uzgojne vrijednosti pomoću BLUP-a. Pri

Simultaneous fitting of genomic-BLUP and Bayes-C components in a genomic prediction model

Genetics Selection Evolution, 2017
Background The rapid adoption of genomic selection is due to two key factors: availability of both high-throughput dense genotyping and statistical methods to estimate and predict breeding values.

Real-Time Estimation of the Distribution of Brake Response Times for an Individual Driver Using Vehicular Ad Hoc Network

, 2014
Adapting the functioning of the collision warning systems to the specific drivers' characteristics is of great benefit to drivers. For example, by customizing collision warning algorithms we can minimize false alarms, thereby reducing injuries and deaths

Stem microanatomical phenomic uncovers a potential role for ZmLSM2 in regulating maize stem bending strength

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Maize ZmLSM2 (U6 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein specific Sm‐like 2) controls maize stem strength by affecting vascular bundle structure. Using advanced computed tomography imaging and artificial intelligence identified key stem traits linked to lodging resistance and developed a predictive model.
