Estimation of inbreeding effect on conception in Czech Holstein

Czech Journal of Animal Science, 2019
The influence of calculated inbreeding coefficients on the conception of heifers and cows was analysed by a two-trait binary model for conceived/not conceived after each insemination on 677 234 Czech Holstein cows and heifers with 3 248 299 insemination ...

Upper bounds for the Euclidean distances between the BLUPs [PDF]

Special Matrices, 2018
Abstract In this article we consider the general linear model {y, X ß, V} where y is the observable random vector with expectation X ß and covariance matrix V. Our interest is on predicting the unobservable random vector y* which comes from y* = X* ß + ƹ* where the expectation of y* isX* ß and the covariance matrix of y* is known aswell ...

GmSop20 Functions as a Key Coordinator of the Oil‐To‐Protein Ratio in Soybean Seeds

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study investigates the seed oil‐to‐protein ratio as a comprehensive quality metric and identifies GmSop20 as a crucial regulatory gene through forward genetics methodologies. By integrating GmSop20 with superior haplotypes and using gene editing/overexpression, new strategies are provided for precisely tuning the seed oil‐to‐protein ratio, thereby

Evaluating the use of statistical and machine learning methods for estimating breed composition of purebred and crossbred animals in thirteen cattle breeds using genomic information

Frontiers in Genetics, 2023
Introduction: The ability to accurately predict breed composition using genomic information has many potential uses including increasing the accuracy of genetic evaluations, optimising mating plans and as a parameter for genotype quality control.

International bull evaluations by genomic BLUP with a prediction population [PDF]

Journal of Dairy Science, 2019
The purpose of this study was to determine whether multi-country genomic evaluation can be accomplished by multiple-trait genomic best linear unbiased predictor (GBLUP) without sharing genotypes of important animals. Phenotypes and genotypes with 40k SNP were simulated for 25,000 animals, each with 4 traits assuming the same genetic variance and 0.8 ...

A Natural Major Module Confers the Trade‐Off between Phenotypic Mean and Plasticity of Grain Chalkiness in Rice

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reveals the genetic and molecular mechanisms controlling the general trade‐off between phenotypic mean and plasticity of grain chalkiness in rice and identifies two major external drivers (high temperature and wide grain) and a natural major module (GCP6‐MPC5) that control this trade‐off.
