Breeding value estimation with incomplete marker data [PDF]

Genetics Selection Evolution, 1998
Incomplete marker data prevent application of marker-assisted breeding value estimation using animal model BLUP. We describe a Gibbs sampling approach for Bayesian estimation of breeding values, allowing incomplete information on a single marker that is linked to a quantitative trait locus.

Identification and validation of reference genes for qPCR of Pseudomonas aeruginosa L10 under varying n-hexadecane concentrations

BMC Microbiology
Pseudomonas aeruginosa can efficiently degrades petroleum hydrocarbons, but its degradation rate is affected by hydrocarbon pollutant concentrations, which must be neither too high nor too low. To quantitatively analyze P.

Breeding value for type traits in beef cattle in theCzech Republic

Czech Journal of Animal Science, 2005
The type was evaluated in 5 424 young animals of twelve beef breeds. Ten type traits were evaluated: height at sacrum (HS), body length (BL), live weight (LW), front chest width (CW), chest depth (CD), pelvis (P), shoulder muscling (SM), back muscling ...

The relation of GH1, GHR and DGAT1 polymorphisms with estimated breeding values for milk production traits of German Holstein sires

Czech Journal of Animal Science, 2008
: We analysed the relations of estimated breeding values (EBV) of 315 German Holstein sires to their genotypes in growth hormone gene (GH1), growth hormone receptor gene (GHR) and acylCoA-diacylglycerol acyltransferase 1 (DGAT1).

Managing the risk of comparing estimated breeding values across flocks or herds through connectedness: a review and application

Genetics Selection Evolution, 2007
Comparing predicted breeding values (BV) among animals in different management units (e.g. flocks, herds) is challenging if units have different genetic means.

Sire Breed, Litter Size, and Environment Influence Genetic Potential for Lamb Growth When Using Sire Breeding Values

Animals, 2022
Lamb growth can be optimised with genetic selection using sire Australian sheep breeding values, however, breeding value expression has been shown to be reduced with poor nutrition. It was therefore hypothesised that the genetic potential for lamb growth

Short communication: Estimation of genetic trends for body weight traits in Markhoz goat at different ages

Spanish Journal of Agricultural Research, 2019
The objective of the present study was to estimate genetic trends for body weight at different ages in Markhoz goat, including birth weight (BW, n = 4758), weaning weight (WW, n= 3685), 6-month weight (6MW, n = 3420), 9-month weight (9MW, n = 3032) and ...
