Level of Inbreeding in Norik of Muran Horse: Pedigree vs. Genomic Data
Acta Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 2019 The objective of this study was to analyse the level of pedigree and genomic inbreeding in a herd of the Norik of Muran horses. The pedigree file included 1374 animals (603 stallions and 771 mares), while the reference population consisted of animals ...

Wolf outside, dog inside? The genomic make-up of the Czechoslovakian Wolfdog [PDF]
, 2018 Background Genomic methods can provide extraordinary tools to explore the genetic background of wild species and domestic breeds, optimize breeding practices, monitor and limit the spread of recessive diseases, and discourage illegal crossings.

Insect Science, EarlyView.Two spontaneous mutations in pupae of the West Indian fruit fly Anastrepha obliqua, named bp and sp, were isolated and studied. The bp mutation was selected, and using two types of Y‐autosoma l translocation inducers and an appropriate crossing scheme, two genetically sexed strains based on pupa l color were developed for the first time in this species,

Genome-wide patterns of polymorphism in an inbred line of the African malaria mosquito Anopheles gambiae. [PDF]
, 2014 Anopheles gambiae is a major mosquito vector of malaria in Africa. Although increased use of insecticide-based vector control tools has decreased malaria transmission, elimination is likely to require novel genetic control strategies.

Venetian local corn (Zea mays L.) germplasm: Disclosing the genetic anatomy of old landraces suited for typical cornmeal mush production. [PDF]
, 2017 Due to growing concern for the genetic erosion of local varieties, four of the main corn landraces historically grown in Veneto (Italy) \u2014 Sponcio, Marano, Biancoperla and Rosso Piave \u2014 were characterized in this work.

Neoclassical development of genetic sexing strains for insect pest and disease vector control
Insect Science, EarlyView.The sterile insect technique has been effectively used for decades, and an important component is the availability of sex separation systems, in particular genetic sexing strains. Classical approaches, such as irradiation‐induced chromosomal translocations, have yielded stable strains for species like the Mediterranean fruit fly.

Genomic patterns of homozygosity and inbreeding depression in Murciano-Granadina goats
Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology, 2022 Background Inbreeding depression can adversely affect traits related to fitness, reproduction and productive performance. Although current research suggests that inbreeding levels are generally low in most goat breeds, the impact of inbreeding depression

Homozygosity and risk of childhood death due to invasive bacterial disease. [PDF]
, 2009 BACKGROUND: Genetic heterozygosity is increasingly being shown to be a key predictor of fitness in natural populations, both through inbreeding depression, inbred individuals having low heterozygosity, and also through chance linkage between a marker and
