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).

Genetic Diversity, Adaptation, Wild Introgression, and Coat Color Mutation of Golden Yak

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Genetic diversity, adaptation, wild introgression, and coat color mutation of golden yak from two populations on the Qinghai‐Xizang Plateau. ABSTRACT The golden yak lives on the Qinghai‐Xizang Plateau with a golden coat and adapts to high altitudes and strong ultraviolet environment. The golden coat is a prominent phenotype in many domesticated species,

Changes in genetic trends in US dairy cattle since the implementation of genomic selection

Journal of Dairy Science, 2023
: Genomic selection increases accuracy and decreases generation interval, accelerating genetic changes in populations. Assumptions of genetic improvement must be addressed to quantify the magnitude and direction of change.

SLC7A6OS Founder Mutation: A Rare Cause of Progressive Myoclonus Epilepsy Dated to 1100 Years Ago

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background SLC7A6OS c.191A>G is a rare, autosomal recessive cause of progressive myoclonus epilepsy (PME). The c.191A>G variant, first discovered in two families from Türkiye and Portugal, was recently identified in three additional probands from the USA, all of Puerto Rican ancestry.
