Genome-wide scan for runs of homozygosity identifies candidate genes in Wannan Black pigs [PDF]

open access: yesAnimal Bioscience, 2021
Objective Runs of homozygosity (ROH) are contiguous lengths of homozygous genotypes that can reveal inbreeding levels, selection pressure, and mating schemes. In this study, ROHs were evaluated in Wannan Black pigs to assess the inbreeding levels and the

Wolf outside, dog inside? The genomic make-up of the Czechoslovakian Wolfdog [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Background Genomic methods can provide extraordinary tools to explore the genetic background of wild species and domestic breeds, optimize breeding practices, monitor and limit the spread of recessive diseases, and discourage illegal crossings.

Genomic data illuminates demography, genetic structure and selection of a popular dog breed

open access: yesBMC Genomics, 2017
Background Genomic methods have proved to be important tools in the analysis of genetic diversity across the range of species and can be used to reveal processes underlying both short- and long-term evolutionary change. This study applied genomic methods

Gene expression drives the evolution of dominance. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Dominance is a fundamental concept in molecular genetics and has implications for understanding patterns of genetic variation, evolution, and complex traits.

Associations of autozygosity with a broad range of human phenotypes

open access: yesNature Communications, 2019
Inbreeding depression has been observed in many different species, but in humans a systematic analysis has been difficult so far. Here, analysing more than 1.3 million individuals, the authors show that a genomic inbreeding coefficient (FROH) is ...

Isolation mediates persistent founder effects on zooplankton colonisation in new temporary ponds [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Understanding the colonisation process in zooplankton is crucial for successful restoration of aquatic ecosystems. Here, we analyzed the clonal and genetic structure of the cyclical parthenogenetic rotifer Brachionus plicatilis by following populations ...

Development and characterization of tri- and tetra-nucleotide polymorphic microsatellite markers for skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Skipjack tuna (katsuwonus pelamis) (SJT) is the largest tuna fishery in all the major oceans around the world, and the largest marine fishery in Sri Lanka. Knowledge of genetic population structure and effective population size of SJT in the Indian Ocean

Venetian local corn (Zea mays L.) germplasm: Disclosing the genetic anatomy of old landraces suited for typical cornmeal mush production. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Due to growing concern for the genetic erosion of local varieties, four of the main corn landraces historically grown in Veneto (Italy) \u2014 Sponcio, Marano, Biancoperla and Rosso Piave \u2014 were characterized in this work.

Genomic inbreeding coefficients based on the distribution of the length of runs of homozygosity in a closed line of Iberian pigs [PDF]

open access: yesGenetics Selection Evolution, 2015
The increasing availability of DNA markers provides new metrics of inbreeding based on single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), i.e. molecular inbreeding or the proportion of runs of homozygosity (ROH), as alternatives to traditional pedigree-based inbreeding coefficients.

A Mix of Old British and Modern European Breeds: Genomic Prediction of Breed Composition of Smallholder Pigs in Uganda

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2021
Pig herds in Africa comprise genotypes ranging from local ecotypes to commercial breeds. Many animals are composites of these two types and the best levels of crossbreeding for particular production systems are largely unknown.
