Progress and challenges in developing organoids in farm animal species for the study of reproduction and their applications to reproductive biotechnologies

Veterinary Research, 2021
Within the past decades, major progress has been accomplished in isolating germ/stem/pluripotent cells, in refining culture medium and conditions and in establishing 3-dimensional culture systems, towards developing organoids for organs involved in ...

Highly Heritable and Functionally Relevant Breed Differences in Dog Behavior

bioRxiv, 2019
Variation across dog breeds presents a unique opportunity for investigating the evolution and biological basis of complex behavioral traits. We integrated behavioral data from more than 17,000 dogs from 101 breeds with breed-averaged genotypic data (N ...

Cassava Breeding I: The Value of Breeding Value [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016
Breeding cassava relies on several selection stages (single row trial-SRT; preliminary; advanced; and uniform yield trials-UYT). This study uses data from 14 years of evaluations. From more than 20,000 genotypes initially evaluated only 114 reached the last stage.

Human testis-expressed (TEX) genes: a review focused on spermatogenesis and male fertility

Basic and Clinical Andrology, 2021
Résumé La spermatogenèse est un processus complexe régulé par une multitude de gènes. L’identification et la caractérisation des gènes spécifiques des cellules germinales mâles sont essentielles pour comprendre les mécanismes par lesquels les cellules se

Scans for signatures of selection in Russian cattle breed genomes reveal new candidate genes for environmental adaptation and acclimation

Scientific Reports, 2018
Domestication and selective breeding has resulted in over 1000 extant cattle breeds. Many of these breeds do not excel in important traits but are adapted to local environments.

Artificially selecting microbial communities: If we can breed dogs, why not microbiomes?

PLoS Biology, 2019
Natural microbial communities perform many functions that are crucial for human well-being. Yet we have very little control over them, and we do not know how to optimize their functioning.

Breeding and exploitation of prolific breeds in Czechoslovakia

Agricultural and Food Science, 1988
In the years 1971—1979 many experiments were conducted in order to elucidate problems of meat production increase in sheep. Ewes of native breeds (Mutton Merino = M, Improved Wallachian = I) were mated to rams of prolific breeds (Finnsheep = F, Romanov = R), producing F1 crossbred females.

Defining valid breeding goals for animal breeds

Genetics Selection Evolution, 2023
Abstract Background The objective of any valid breeding program is to increase the suitability of a breed for its future purposes. The approach most often followed in animal breeding for optimizing breeding goals assumes that the sole desire of the owners is profit maximization.
