Strongly deleterious mutations are a primary determinant of extinction risk due to inbreeding depression

bioRxiv, 2019
Human-driven habitat fragmentation and loss have led to a proliferation of small and isolated plant and animal populations with high risk of extinction.

Comparing pedigree and genomic inbreeding coefficients, and inbreeding depression of reproductive traits in Japanese Black cattle

BMC Genomics, 2023
Background Pedigree-based inbreeding coefficients have been generally included in statistical models for genetic evaluation of Japanese Black cattle. The use of genomic data is expected to provide precise assessment of inbreeding level and depression ...

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

Inbreeding Calculated with Runs of Homozygosity Suggests Chromosome-Specific Inbreeding Depression Regions in Line 1 Hereford

Animals, 2021
The goal of this study was to evaluate inbreeding in a closed beef cattle population and assess phenotype prediction accuracy using inbreeding information.

On the estimation of inbreeding depression using different measures of inbreeding from molecular markers

Evolutionary Applications, 2020
The inbreeding coefficient (F) of individuals can be estimated from molecular marker data, such as SNPs, using measures of homozygosity of individual markers or runs of homozygosity (ROH) across the genome.

Predictive Model and Software for Inbreeding-Purging Analysis of Pedigreed Populations

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2016
The inbreeding depression of fitness traits can be a major threat to the survival of populations experiencing inbreeding. However, its accurate prediction requires taking into account the genetic purging induced by inbreeding, which can be achieved using

Estimation of inbreeding and identification of regions under heavy selection based on runs of homozygosity in a Large White pig population

Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology, 2020
Background Runs of homozygosity (ROHs) are homozygous segments of the genome where the two haplotypes inherited from the parents are identical. The current availability of genotypes for a very large number of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) is ...

Inbreeding depression for producer-recorded udder, metabolic, and reproductive diseases in US dairy cattle

Journal of Dairy Science
: This study leveraged a growing dataset of producer-recorded phenotypes for mastitis, reproductive diseases (metritis and retained placenta), and metabolic diseases (ketosis, milk fever, and displaced abomasum) to investigate the potential presence of ...

The impact of self-incompatibility systems on the prevention of biparental inbreeding [PDF]

PeerJ, 2017
Inbreeding in hermaphroditic plants can occur through two different mechanisms: biparental inbreeding, when a plant mates with a related individual, or self-fertilization, when a plant mates with itself.
