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.

Relationships between estimated autozygosity and complex traits in the UK Biobank [PDF]
, 2018 Inbreeding increases the risk of certain Mendelian disorders in humans but may also reduce fitness through its effects on complex traits and diseases. Such inbreeding depression is thought to occur due to increased homozygosity at causal variants that ...

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).

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 ...

Evolutionary Applications, 2022 Recent studies have shown that current levels of inbreeding, estimated by runs of homozygosity (ROH), are moderate to high in farmed rainbow trout lines.

Population structure and genomic inbreeding in nine Swiss dairy cattle populations. [PDF]
Genet Sel Evol, 2017 Background: Domestication, breed formation and intensive selection have resulted in divergent cattle breeds that likely exhibit their own genomic signatures. In this study, we used genotypes from 27,612 autosomal single nucleotide polymorphisms to characterize population structure based on 9214 sires representing nine Swiss dairy cattle populations ...

Accuracy and responses of genomic selection on key traits in apple breeding [PDF]
, 2016 open13siThe application of genomic selection in fruit tree crops is expected to enhance breeding efficiency by increasing prediction accuracy, increasing selection intensity and decreasing generation interval.

Genome-wide inbreeding estimation within Lebanese communities using SNP arrays [PDF]
European Journal of Human Genetics, 2014 Consanguineous marriages have been widely practiced in several global communities with varying rates depending on religion, culture, and geography. In consanguineous marriages, parents pass to their children autozygous segments known as homozygous by descent segments.

Genomic consequences of intensive inbreeding in an isolated wolf population [PDF]
Nature Ecology & Evolution, 2017 Inbreeding (mating between relatives) is a major concern for conservation as it decreases individual fitness and can increase the risk of population extinction. We used whole-genome resequencing of 97 grey wolves (Canis lupus) from the highly inbred Scandinavian wolf population to identify 'identical-by-descent' (IBD) chromosome segments as runs of ...

Genomic inbreeding and relationships among Holsteins, Jerseys, and Brown Swiss [PDF]
Journal of Dairy Science, 2011 Genomic measures of relationship and inbreeding within and across breeds were compared with pedigree measures using genotypes for 43,385 loci of 25,219 Holsteins, 3,068 Jerseys, and 872 Brown Swiss. Adjustment factors allow genomic and pedigree relationships to match more closely within breeds and in multibreed populations and were estimated using ...
