The genome of the Pyrenean desman and the effects of bottlenecks and inbreeding on the genomic landscape of an endangered species [PDF]

Evolutionary Applications, 2021
Abstract The Pyrenean desman ( Galemys pyrenaicus ) is a small semiaquatic mammal endemic to the Iberian Peninsula. Despite its limited range, this species presents a strong genetic structure due to past isolation in glacial refugia and subsequent bottlenecks.

Genome-wide assessment and mapping of inbreeding depression identifies candidate genes associated with semen traits in Holstein bulls

BMC Genomics, 2023
Background The reduction in phenotypic performance of a population due to mating between close relatives is called inbreeding depression. The genetic background of inbreeding depression for semen traits is poorly understood.

Inbreeding depression of reproductive traits in Japanese Black cattle using genomic information [PDF]

Animal Bioscience
Objective The objective of this study was to evaluate genomic inbreeding in Japanese Black cattle and its effects on reproductive traits. Methods The study analyzed reproductive records and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) data from Japanese Black ...

Fine-tuning genomic and pedigree inbreeding rates in equine population with a deep and reliable stud book: the case of the Pura Raza Española horse

Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology, 2022
Background Estimating inbreeding, which is omnipresent and inevitable in livestock populations, is a primary goal for management and animal breeding especially for those interested in mitigating the negative consequences of inbreeding.

Assessment of genomic inbreeding in Polish Konik horses

Polish Journal of Veterinary Sciences, 2017
Abstract The aim of this study was to assess the inbreeding coefficient of Polish Konik horses based on runs of homozygosity (ROH). Ninety six horses kept in 6 herds located across Poland were genotyped with the use of EquineSNP60 BeadChip (Illumina).

Management of Genetic Diversity in the Era of Genomics

Frontiers in Genetics, 2020
Management of genetic diversity aims to (i) maintain heterozygosity, which ameliorates inbreeding depression and loss of genetic variation at loci that may become of importance in the future; and (ii) avoid genetic drift, which prevents deleterious ...

Efficient genome ancestry inference in complex pedigrees with inbreeding [PDF]

Bioinformatics, 2010
Abstract Motivation: High-density SNP data of model animal resources provides opportunities for fine-resolution genetic variation studies. These genetic resources are generated through a variety of breeding schemes that involve multiple generations of matings derived from a set of founder animals.

Estimation of the Inbreeding Coefficient through Use of Genomic Data [PDF]

The American Journal of Human Genetics, 2003
Many linkage studies are performed in inbred populations, either small isolated populations or large populations with a long tradition of marriages between relatives. In such populations, there exist very complex genealogies with unknown loops. Therefore, the true inbreeding coefficient of an individual is often unknown.

Grid search approach to discriminate between old and recent inbreeding using phenotypic, pedigree and genomic information

BMC Genomics, 2021
Background Although inbreeding caused by the mating of animals related through a recent common ancestor is expected to have more harmful effects on phenotypes than ancient inbreeding (old inbreeding), estimating these effects requires a clear definition ...
