Journal of Dairy Science, 2013 Trait uniformity, or micro-environmental sensitivity, may be studied through individual differences in residual variance. These differences appear to be heritable, and the need exists, therefore, to fit models to predict breeding values explaining ...

Heredity, 2020 The goals of quantitative genetics differ according to its field of application. In plant breeding, the main focus of quantitative genetics is on identifying candidates with the best genotypic value for a target population of environments.

Testosterone affects song modulation during simulated territorial intrusions in male black redstarts (Phoenicurus ochruros) [PDF]
, 2012 Although it has been suggested that testosterone plays an important role in resource allocation for competitive behavior, details of the interplay between testosterone, territorial aggression and signal plasticity are largely unknown.

BMC Proceedings, 2012 BackgroundGenomic breeding value estimation is the key step in genomic selection. Among many approaches, BLUP methods and Bayesian methods are most commonly used for estimating genomic breeding values. Here, we applied two BLUP methods, TABLUP and GBLUP,

Genetics Selection Evolution, 2011 BackgroundGenomic selection involves breeding value estimation of selection candidates based on high-density SNP genotypes. To quantify the potential benefit of genomic selection, accuracies of estimated breeding values (EBV) obtained with different ...

What should organic farmers grow: heritage or modern spring wheat varieties? Report from a study comparing yields, grain and bread quality [PDF]
, 2019 For a 100% organic value chain, we need more varieties suitable for organic cultivation. Varieties bred for organic growing is a challenge in small markets. Many breeding goals are equal for organic and conventional cereals.

Using the Pareto principle in genome-wide breeding value estimation
Genetics Selection Evolution, 2011 Genome-wide breeding value (GWEBV) estimation methods can be classified based on the prior distribution assumptions of marker effects. Genome-wide BLUP methods assume a normal prior distribution for all markers with a constant variance, and are ...

Cross-validation analysis for genetic evaluation models for ranking in endurance horses
Animal, 2018 Ranking trait was used as a selection criterion for competition horses to estimate racing performance. In the literature the most common approaches to estimate breeding values are the linear or threshold statistical models.
