Assessment of inbreeding coefficients and inbreeding depression on complex traits from genomic and pedigree data in Nelore cattle

BMC Genomics
Background Nelore cattle play a key role in tropical production systems due to their resilience to harsh conditions, such as heat stress and seasonally poor nutrition.

Comparison of pedigree-based (FPED) and genomic inbreeding (FROH) in Croatian Holstein cattle using pedigree and SNP data

Mljekarstvo
The two most commonly used approaches for estimating inbreeding and structural relationships in livestock populations are pedigree-based and genomic methods.

Runs of Homozygosity Predict Inbreeding Depression Across Taxa: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. [PDF]

Mol Ecol
ABSTRACT Measuring inbreeding via runs of homozygosity (ROH) captures realized autozygosity and can infer inbreeding timing through ROH length. A growing body of literature links the proportion of the genome in ROH (FROH) to fitness outcomes across taxa, yet systematic synthesis has been lacking.

Discrete-time Model Reference Control of Milling Forces under Fractional Order Holds. Part I: Known Plant [PDF]

, 2006
This paper introduces a novel model-reference discrete-time control scheme applied to milling processes. The novelty of the scheme relies on the use of a fractional order hold (FROH) instead of a traditional ZOH used in the manufacturing literature to ...

Machine‐Learning Models Trained on Genomic Summary Statistics Assess Extinction Risk and Recovery Potential of Bottlenecked Populations [PDF]

Evol Appl
ABSTRACT Forecasting extinction risk from genomic data is challenging because of interactions among environment, demography, and genomic erosion. Here, we use known outcomes from forward simulations as a proof‐of‐concept study to test whether machine‐learning (ML) models can discriminate relative extinction risk and recovery potential from genomic ...

Characterization of Lipizzan Horse Population From Lipica Stud Using Molecular and Pedigree Data. [PDF]

Anim Genet
ABSTRACT In this study, we analysed genetic diversity, population structure and inbreeding in the Lipica Stud Farm population by integrating pedigree records, microsatellite (STR) and genome‐wide SNP data generated using the GGP Equine 70K BeadChip. The dataset comprised 233 horses from the Lipica Stud Farm, which served as the reference population for

Autozygosity islands and ROH patterns in Nellore lineages: evidence of selection for functionally important traits

BMC Genomics, 2018
Background The aim of this study was to assess genome-wide autozygosity in a Nellore cattle population and to characterize ROH patterns and autozygosity islands that may have occurred due to selection within its lineages.

Assessing runs of homozygosity reveals production traits of Kazakh sheep breeds [PDF]

Brazilian Journal of Biology
Sheep breeding in Kazakhstan is one of the main local roles in animal husbandry. This article presents the results of a study of the genetic indicators of sheep breeds in Kazakhstan, in relation to their meat and wool productivity.

Genetic Diversity in the Italian Holstein Dairy Cattle Based on Pedigree and SNP Data Prior and After Genomic Selection

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2022
Genetic diversity has become an urgent matter not only in small local breeds but also in more specialized ones. While the use of genomic data in livestock breeding programs increased genetic gain, there is increasing evidence that this benefit may be ...
