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

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.

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.

Population Structure and Cryptic Relatedness in Genetic Association Studies [PDF]

, 2009
We review the problem of confounding in genetic association studies, which arises principally because of population structure and cryptic relatedness. Many treatments of the problem consider only a simple ``island'' model of population structure. We take

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.

Comparative analysis of inbreeding parameters and runs of homozygosity islands in 2 Italian autochthonous cattle breeds mainly raised in the Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese production region

Journal of Dairy Science, 2022
: Reggiana and Modenese are autochthonous cattle breeds, reared in the North of Italy, that can be mainly distinguished for their standard coat color (Reggiana is red, whereas Modenese is white with some pale gray shades).

Comprehensive analysis of inbreeding depression across growth, fertility, and survival traits in Limousine beef cattle

Animal
The Italian Limousine cattle population, with approximately 100 000 registered animals in the national herd book, plays a crucial role in the country’s national beef industry, being one of the most widely spread breeds in Italy.

Removing exogenous information using pedigree data

, 2011
Management of certain populations requires the preservation of its pure genetic background. When, for different reasons, undesired alleles are introduced, the original genetic conformation must be recovered.
