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.

Relatedness and genomic inbreeding in a sample of Timor ponies
Journal of Equine Veterinary ScienceTimor ponies (TP) were first shipped to Australia in the early 1800s and were highly valued as transport and pack animals, which resulted in TPs contributing to the development of Australian horse breeds. Today, while the exact number of TPs in Australia is currently unknown, there has been recent interest in establishing a domestic breeding program ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.By integrating 516 whole‐genome resequencing datasets and 236 transcriptomes of allotetraploid common carp, this study establishes the first population‐scale atlas of transposable element (TE) variation in teleost species. TE bursts, relaxed purifying selection, and lineage‐specific loss of ancient insertions shape genome evolution and phenotypic ...

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

A rhesus macaque model of α‐dystroglycanopathy caused by a POMT1 splice altering variant
Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.Rhesus macaques homozygous for a naturally occurring spice altering variant in the POMT1 gene develop lissencephaly, microphthalmia, and muscular contracture. The presentation models severe presentation of the human Walker‐Warburg syndrome. Abstract Background Biallelic mutations in genes associated with α‐dystroglycan glycosylation manifest in a ...
