Quantitative genetics model as the unifying model for defining genomic relationship and inbreeding coefficient. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 The traditional quantitative genetics model was used as the unifying approach to derive six existing and new definitions of genomic additive and dominance relationships.

Genomic inbreeding estimation in small populations: evaluation of runs of homozygosity in three local dairy cattle breeds [PDF]
Animal, 2016 In the local breeds with small population size, one of the most important problems is the increase of inbreeding coefficient (F). High levels of inbreeding lead to reduced genetic diversity and inbreeding depression.

Efficiency of Recurrent Genomic Selection in Panmictic Populations [PDF]
AnimalsSimulation-based studies can support breeders’ decisions inexpensively, since there is no need to perform a new procedure. The objective was to assess the efficiency of recurrent genomic selection in panmictic population under additive–dominance and ...

Genomic Scan for Runs of Homozygosity and Identification of Candidate Genes Under Domestication in Fengjing Pigs [PDF]
LifeFengjing pigs are a Chinese native breed known for their high reproductive ability. Runs of homozygosity (ROHs) have emerged as an effective tool for evaluating inbreeding levels and identifying relevant genes in selection.

Identification of genome diversity in Iranian goat ecotypes using whole genome sequencing method [PDF]
مجله بیوتکنولوژی کشاورزی, 2023 ObjectiveDue to adaptation to environmental conditions, different ecotypes of native goat can be seen in different geographical regions of the country, which are very diverse in terms of appearance and production characteristics. So far, no comprehensive

The value of genomic relationship matrices to estimate levels of inbreeding
Genetics Selection Evolution, 2021 Background Genomic relationship matrices are used to obtain genomic inbreeding coefficients. However, there are several methodologies to compute these matrices and there is still an unresolved debate on which one provides the best estimate of inbreeding.
