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.

Correlation of Genomic and Pedigree Inbreeding Coefficients in Small Cattle Populations [PDF]
Animals, 2021 This study aimed to identify inbreeding coefficient (F) estimators useful for improvement programs in a small Holstein population through the evaluation of different methodologies in the Mexican Holstein population. F was estimated as follows: (a) from pedigree information (Fped); (b) through runs of homozygosity (Froh); (c) from the number of observed

Genomic Tests of Variation in Inbreeding Among Individuals and Among Chromosomes [PDF]
Genetics, 2012 Abstract We examine the distribution of heterozygous sites in nine European and nine Yoruban individuals whose genomic sequences were made publicly available by Complete Genomics. We show that it is possible to obtain detailed information about inbreeding when a relatively small set of whole-genome sequences is available.

Genetic gain and inbreeding from simulation of different genomic mating schemes for pig improvement
Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology, 2023 Background Genomic selection involves choosing as parents those elite individuals with the higher genomic estimated breeding values (GEBV) to accelerate the speed of genetic improvement in domestic animals.

Genome-wide estimates of coancestry, inbreeding and effective population size in the Spanish Holstein population. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Estimates of effective population size in the Holstein cattle breed have usually been low despite the large number of animals that constitute this breed.

Characterizing and Eliminating the Inbreeding Load
Veterinary Sciences, 2023 The authors evaluated the relevant literature related to purging, which is the interaction between selection and inbreeding in which the population may eliminate its inbreeding load at least partially. According to the relevant literature, the inbreeding
