Inbreeding in genome‐wide selection

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, 2007
SummaryTraditional selection methods, such as sib and best linear unbiased prediction (BLUP) selection, which increased genetic gain by increasing accuracy of evaluation have also led to an increased rate of inbreeding per generation (ΔFG). This is not necessarily the case with genome‐wide selection, which also increases genetic gain by increasing ...

Inbreeding, Maternal Care and Genomic Imprinting

Journal of Theoretical Biology, 2003
Inactivation of expression of the paternal allele at two maternally silent imprinted loci has recently been reported to diminish the quality of care that female mice lavish on their offspring. This suggests that there can be disagreement between the maternally and paternally derived genomes of mothers over how much care for offspring is appropriate ...

Genomic inbreeding depression for climatic adaptation of tropical beef cattle

Journal of Animal Science, 2017
Inbreeding has the potential to negatively impact animal performance. Strategies to monitor and mitigate inbreeding depression require that it can be accurately estimated. Here, we used genomewide SNP data to explore 3 alternative measures of genomic inbreeding: the diagonal elements of the genomic relationship matrix (FGRM), the proportion of ...

Genomic signatures of inbreeding and mutation load in tree ferns

The Plant Journal
SUMMARYFerns (Pteridophyta), as the second largest group of vascular plants, play important roles in ecosystem functioning. Homosporous ferns exhibit a remarkable range of mating systems, from extreme inbreeding to obligate outcrossing, which may have significant evolutionary and ecological implications. Despite their significance, the impact of genome‐

Patterns of genomic inbreeding in worldwide sheep populations

2014
Inbreeding is a fundamental parameter in conservation genetics of any small population as its increase results in the reduction of effective population size, increase in frequency of deleterious alleles and the concomitant inbreeding depression of fitness and fertility.

Genome-based inbreeding in French dairy sheep breeds

2018
Traditionally, inbreeding has been estimated from pedigree-based information. Nevertheless, in the last years the interest for estimating inbreeding using genomic information has considerably grown. The objective of this study is to evaluate whether inbreeding estimated from ROHs or calculated on a SNP-by-SNP basis provide an accurate measure of ...
