Linkage Disequilibrium Estimation of Chinese Beef Simmental Cattle Using High-density SNP Panels [PDF]

Asian-Australasian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2013
Linkage disequilibrium (LD) plays an important role in genomic selection and mapping quantitative trait loci (QTL). In this study, the pattern of LD and effective population size (Ne) were investigated in Chinese beef Simmental cattle.

Genomic Prediction and Association Analysis With Models Including Dominance Effects for Important Traits in Chinese Simmental Beef Cattle [PDF]

Animals, 2019
Non-additive effects play important roles in determining genetic changes with regard to complex traits; however, such effects are usually ignored in genetic evaluation and quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping analysis. In this study, a two-component genome-based restricted maximum likelihood (GREML) was applied to obtain the additive genetic variance
