Population Structure, and Selection Signatures Underlying High-Altitude Adaptation Inferred From Genome-Wide Copy Number Variations in Chinese Indigenous Cattle

Frontiers in Genetics, 2020
Copy number variations (CNVs) have been demonstrated as crucial substrates for evolution, adaptation and breed formation. Chinese indigenous cattle breeds exhibit a broad geographical distribution and diverse environmental adaptability. Here, we analyzed

Genome-Wide Association Study (GWAS) for Linear Body Measurements of Sussex Cattle (Bos taurus) at Weaning and Yearling Age in South Africa. [PDF]

Vet Med Sci
These results show that GWAS can be a useful tool for recognising novel loci and unravelling the genetic basis of complex economic traits. Sussex cattle exhibited candidate genes (RAB31, BIRC5, TEX22, CFAP100 and LOC617705) as potential candidate genes for linear body measurement traits, which could serve as significant marker information for genome ...

Feed Intake of Growing Dairy Heifers Raised under Tropical Conditions: A Model Evaluation Using Meta-Analysis

Animals, 2021
Several models for predicting dry matter intake (DMI) of replacement dairy heifers have been developed; however, only a few have been evaluated using data from heifers of different breeds raised under tropical conditions.
