Genomic selection requires genomic control of inbreeding [PDF]
Genetics Selection Evolution, 2012 Background In the past, pedigree relationships were used to control and monitor inbreeding because genomic relationships among selection candidates were not available until recently.

Comparing pedigree and genomic inbreeding coefficients, and inbreeding depression of reproductive traits in Japanese Black cattle [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2023 Background Pedigree-based inbreeding coefficients have been generally included in statistical models for genetic evaluation of Japanese Black cattle. The use of genomic data is expected to provide precise assessment of inbreeding level and depression ...

Genomic Inbreeding and Relatedness in Wild Panda Populations. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Inbreeding and relatedness in wild panda populations are important parameters for panda conservation. Habitat loss and fragmentation are expected to increase inbreeding but the actual inbreeding levels in natural panda habitats were unknown.

Genomic inbreeding coefficients using imputed genotypes: assessing differences among SNP panels in Holstein-Friesian dairy cows [PDF]
Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2023 The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of imputation of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) on the estimation of genomic inbreeding coefficients. Imputed genotypes of 68,127 Italian Holstein dairy cows were analyzed. Cows were initially

Fine-scale assessment of ROH patterns and genomic inbreeding in diverse horse breeds using two SNP array densities [PDF]
BMC Veterinary ResearchBackground Inbreeding is caused by mating between related individuals and is associated with reduced fitness and performance. Generally, in the horse population, inbreeding is caused by geographically restricted areas and intensive natural or artificial ...
