Genomic Relatedness Strengthens Genetic Connectedness Across Management Units [PDF]
G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2017 Genetic connectedness refers to a measure of genetic relatedness across management units (e.g., herds and flocks). With the presence of high genetic connectedness in management units, best linear unbiased prediction (BLUP) is known to provide reliable ...

The genetic connectedness calculated from genomic information and its effect on the accuracy of genomic prediction. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 The magnitude of connectedness among management units (e.g., flocks and herds) gives a reliable estimate of genetic evaluation across these units.

GCA: an R package for genetic connectedness analysis using pedigree and genomic data [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2021 Background Genetic connectedness is a critical component of genetic evaluation as it assesses the comparability of predicted genetic values across units.

Genetic Characterization and Population Connectedness of North American and European Dairy Goats
Frontiers in Genetics, 2022 Genomic prediction of breeding values is routinely performed in several livestock breeding programs around the world, but the size of the training populations and the genetic structure of populations evaluated have, in many instances, limited the ...

Genetic Connectedness Between Norwegian White Sheep and New Zealand Composite Sheep Populations With Similar Development History [PDF]
Frontiers in Genetics, 2020 The Norwegian White sheep (NWS) and New Zealand Terminal Sire Composite (NZC) sheep breeds have been developed based on crossing of multiple breeds, mainly of Northern European origin.

The association of Alzheimer’s disease genetic risk with social connectedness in middle- and older ages [PDF]
American Journal of EpidemiologyAbstract Observational evidence suggests that social connectedness protects against Alzheimer’s disease (AD), but reverse causality has not been ruled out. We evaluated the potential for a reverse path by estimating associations between AD genetic risk score (AD-GRS) and social connectedness across mid and late-life. We used data from

Conceptualizing aged reproduction: genetic connectedness, son preference and assisted reproduction in North India. [PDF]
Reprod Biomed Soc Online, 2022 In this paper, I explore the narratives on the administration of assisted reproductive technology (ART) treatments amongst ageing men and women who are past their 'reproductive prime'. I use the phrase 'past their reproductive prime' with caution as ART has the capability to resurrect the desire, quest and conception of children amongst these ageing ...

A simulation study of the effect of connectedness on genetic trend [PDF]
Genetics Selection Evolution, 1996 A breeding scheme was simulated with four subpopulations over seven separate generations. Males were progeny tested before selection. A varying proportion of link sires were used across populations to estimate the genetic level of each subpopulation. The male replacement policy allowed some gene flow across subpopulations.

Patterns of genetic connectedness between modern and medieval Estonian genomes reveal the origins of a major ancestry component of the Finnish population. [PDF]
Am J Hum Genet, 2021 The Finnish population is a unique example of a genetic isolate affected by a recent founder event. Previous studies have suggested that the ancestors of Finnic-speaking Finns and Estonians reached the circum-Baltic region by the 1st millennium BC. However, high linguistic similarity points to a more recent split of their languages.
