Evaluating Selection Strategies Based on Inbreeding Load via Simulation

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Inbreeding load is the fraction of the mutation load that is due to recessive action of mutations. This load is only expressed in individual's inbred offspring. As such, inbreeding load contributes to genetic heterogeneity among individuals and can thus be used as a criterion of selection.

Characterizing Runs of Homozygosity and Inbreeding in American Mink Using SNP Data and Pedigree Information

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Inbreeding increases the likelihood of deleterious recessive alleles becoming homozygous and consequently affecting economically important traits. Runs of homozygosity (ROH), the continuous homozygous segments of the genome and the higher than expected homozygosity (HOM) are genomic indicators of inbreeding, quantified as FROH and FHOM ...

Estimates of Genetic Parameters for Ewe Longevity and Lifetime Reproductive Performance Traits in South African Merino Sheep

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ewe's functional longevity impacts flock profitability by reducing annual ewe replacement costs and increasing ewe outputs over the production cycle. In this context, the main objective of this study was to estimate variance components and genetic parameters of five ewe longevity indicators in South African Merino sheep.

Effect of Selection for High Growth on Resilience of Giant Freshwater Prawn Macrobrachium rosenbergii

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Resilience is the capacity of an animal to be minimally affected by disturbances or to rapidly return to its pre‐disturbance state. To the best of our knowledge, no previous study has investigated resilience in the giant freshwater prawn (GFP, Macrobrachium rosenbergii).

Genomic analysis of the inbreeding load for body weight, carcass and reproductive traits in the Rubia Gallega beef cattle population

Genetics Selection Evolution
Background Inbreeding, resulting from mating between relatives, leads to inbreeding depression, which can be traced back to hidden ancestral inbreeding loads.

Population Genomics Provides Insights Into Genomic Features of Inbreeding Depression in Arma Chinensis

Evolutionary Applications
ABSTRACTArma chinensis, a predatory insect renowned for its prey diversity in East Asia, is effective in controlling agricultural and forestry pests. However, after introducing field populations into indoor subcultures, features of inbreeding depression have surfaced within these populations.

Spawning behaviour between endemic delta smelt (Hypomesus transpacificus) and non‐native Wakasagi (H. nipponensis) in the San Francisco estuary

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract In the San Francisco Estuary, non‐native Wakasagi Hypomesus nipponensis hybridize with endemic and endangered Delta Smelt H. transpacificus, and all wild‐caught hybrids have a maternal Wakasagi parent. However, the mechanisms that facilitate or impede hybridization and explain sex‐biased hybrid asymmetry between these two species remain ...
