DNA sequence polymorphisms in a panel of eight candidate bovine imprinted genes and their association with performance traits in Irish Holstein-Friesian cattle [PDF]

, 2010
peer-reviewedBackground: Studies in mice and humans have shown that imprinted genes, whereby expression from one of the two parentally inherited alleles is attenuated or completely silenced, have a major effect on mammalian growth, metabolism and ...

Genetic parameters of growth in dairy cattle and associations between growth and health traits [PDF]

, 2007
Body weight (BW) observations on dairy cattle taken on average 35 times between birth and 1,000 d of life were used to estimate daily heritabilities and predict daily breeding values for both pregnancy-adjusted BW (PABW) and growth rate.

Association between polymorphism of Myogenin gene and Growth traits in Cattle and Buffalo [PDF]

Veterinary Medical Journal - Giza, 2016
The MyoDfamily of myogenic regulatory factors (MRFs) include several genes such as Myogenin that have the potency to impact economically important traits in beef cattle and therefore it could be used as genetic marker for marker assisted selection (MAS).

Function-valued traits in evolution [PDF]

, 2013
Many biological characteristics of evolutionary interest are not scalar variables but continuous functions. Given a dataset of function-valued traits generated by evolution, we develop a practical, statistical approach to infer ancestral function-valued ...

Predicting breeding value of body weight at 6-month age using Artificial Neural Networks in Kermani sheep breed

Acta Scientiarum: Animal Sciences, 2019
The present study aimed to apply artificial neural networks to predict the breeding values of body weight in 6-month age of Kermani sheep. For this purpose, records of 867 lambs including lamb sex, dam age, birth weight, weaning weight, age at 3-month (3

A catalogue of validated single nucleotide polymorphisms in bovine orthologs of mammalian imprinted genes and associations with beef production traits [PDF]

, 2010
peer-reviewedGenetic (or ‘genomic’) imprinting, a feature of approximately 100 mammalian genes, results in monoallelic expression from one of the two parentally inherited chromosomes. To date, most studies have been directed on imprinted genes in murine
