Multi-breed and multi-trait co-association analysis of meat tenderness and other meat quality traits in three French beef cattle breeds

Genetics Selection Evolution, 2016
Studies to identify markers associated with beef tenderness have focused on Warner–Bratzler shear force (WBSF) but the interplay between the genes associated with WBSF has not been explored.

Genetic regulation of sperm DNA methylation in cattle through meQTL mapping

BMC Genomics
Background DNA methylation (DNAm) plays an important functional role and is influenced by genetic variants known as methylation QTLs (meQTLs). The majority of meQTL studies have been conducted in human blood.

Dog Breed Differences in Visual Communication with Humans

PLoS ONE, 2016

Empirical determination of breed-of-origin of alleles in three-breed cross pigs

Genetics Selection Evolution, 2016
BackgroundAlthough breeding programs for pigs and poultry aim at improving crossbred performance, they mainly use training populations that consist of purebred animals. For some traits, e.g.

​Selection of Breeding Rams in Breeding Programs

Bhartiya Krishi Anusandhan Patrika, 2021
A ram is considered half the flock due to its higher fitness (the proportionate contribution of off spring to the next generation) than ewe and selection of a breeding ram is one of the most important decision on any breeding farm. for a sound breeding program, a sound and quality breeding ram with excellent confirmation and above average performance ...
