Genomic dissection of inbreeding depression: a gate to new opportunities

Revista Brasileira de Zootecnia
Inbreeding depression, reduction in performance of quantitative traits, including reproduction and survival, caused by inbreeding, is a well-known phenomenon observed in almost all experimental, domesticated, and natural populations.

Evaluating Selection Strategies Based on Inbreeding Load via Simulation

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Inbreeding load is the fraction of the mutation load that is due to recessive action of mutations. This load is only expressed in individual's inbred offspring. As such, inbreeding load contributes to genetic heterogeneity among individuals and can thus be used as a criterion of selection.

THE EFFECT OF IMPROVED REPRODUCTIVE-PERFORMANCE ON GENETIC GAIN AND INBREEDING IN MOET BREEDING SCHEMES FOR BEEF-CATTLE [PDF]

, 1995
The effect of improved reproductive techniques on genetic progress and inbreeding was investigated in MOET (multiple ovulation and embryo transfer) schemes for beef cattle.

Characterizing Runs of Homozygosity and Inbreeding in American Mink Using SNP Data and Pedigree Information

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Inbreeding increases the likelihood of deleterious recessive alleles becoming homozygous and consequently affecting economically important traits. Runs of homozygosity (ROH), the continuous homozygous segments of the genome and the higher than expected homozygosity (HOM) are genomic indicators of inbreeding, quantified as FROH and FHOM ...

Quantifying inbreeding avoidance through extra-pair reproduction [PDF]

, 2015
Extra-pair reproduction is widely hypothesized to allow females to avoid inbreeding with related socially paired males. Consequently, numerous field studies have tested the key predictions that extra-pair offspring are less inbred than females ...

Inbreeding and relationship coefficients in the Finnish blue fox population

Agricultural and Food Science, 2008
Animal size has increased considerably in the Finnish blue fox population. This has been achieved by intensive selection. An efficient breeding scheme may increase inbreeding. The rate of inbreeding by generation was estimated to be from 0.107% to 0.191%

Urbanisation Leaves a Genetic Signature but No Detectable Demographic Effects in a Small Mammal Population [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Urbanisation can alter both genetic connectivity and demographic performance of wildlife populations, but these responses may occur on different temporal scales. Using multi‐year capture‐mark‐recapture data and microsatellite analyses of Eurasian red squirrels across an urbanisation gradient in Berlin, we found subtle genetic structuring without clear ...
