Genomic Selection for Milk Production Traits in Xinjiang Brown Cattle
Animals, 2022 One-step genomic selection is a method for improving the reliability of the breeding value estimation. This study aimed to compare the reliability of pedigree-based best linear unbiased prediction (PBLUP) and single-step genomic best linear unbiased ...

Genomic Selection in Cereal Breeding
Agronomy, 2019 Genomic Selection (GS) is a method in plant breeding to predict the genetic value of untested lines based on genome-wide marker data. The method has been widely explored with simulated data and also in real plant breeding programs.

Animal, 2019 In this study we aimed to identify possible causes of within-litter variation in piglet birth weight (birth weight variation) by studying follicular development of sows at weaning in relation to their estimated breeding value (EBV) for birth weight ...

Methods to estimate breeding values in honey bees [PDF]
Genetics Selection Evolution, 2014 Efficient methodologies based on animal models are widely used to estimate breeding values in farm animals. These methods are not applicable in honey bees because of their mode of reproduction. Observations are recorded on colonies, which consist of a single queen and thousands of workers that descended from the queen mated to 10 to 20 drones.

BREEDING AGAINST CANINE HIP DYSPLASIA IN THE GERMAN SHEPHERD DOG [PDF]
BAG. Journal of Basic and Applied Genetics, 2022 Canine hip dysplasia (CHD) is a progressive and disabling disorder in large dog breeds, such as the German Shepherd dog. Breeding sires and dams free of dysplasia is the only way to reduce its incidence.

Genetic Parameters and Genetic Progress of Growth Traits in a Landrace Pig Population
Guangdong nongye kexue, 2022 【Objective】Four genetic parameters including days to 100 kg (DAYS_100), average daily gain (ADG_100), loin muscle area (LMA_100) and average back fat thickness (BFT_100) at 100 kg body weight in a Landrace pig population were estimated, and the ...

A note on genetic parameters and accuracy of estimated breeding values in honey bees
Genetics Selection Evolution, 2019 In honey bees, observations are usually made on colonies. The phenotype of a colony is affected by the average breeding value for the worker effect of the thousands of workers in the colony (the worker group) and by the breeding value for the queen ...
