Using runs of homozygosity to detect genomic regions associated with susceptibility to infectious and metabolic diseases in dairy cows under intensive farming conditions [PDF]
arXiv, 2016 Runs of homozygosity (ROH) are contiguous stretches of homozygous genome which likely reflect transmission from common ances- tors and can be used to track the inheritance of haplotypes of interest. In the present paper, ROH were extracted from 50K SNPs and used to detect regions of the genome associated with susceptibility to diseases in a population ...

Boletim de Indústria Animal, 2019 Hair length is an important characteristic of cattle. It is related to heat tolerance and ectoparasite infestation, such as by the horn fly, Haematobia irritans, and the tick Rhipicephalus microplus. Due to the importance of this trait, this study was carried out whith the dairy herd of the Institute de Zootechnics, located in Nova Odessa, São Paulo ...
