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.

Genetic parameters for uniformity of harvest weight in Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei)
Genetics Selection Evolution, 2021 Background Uniformity of body weight is a trait of great economic importance in the production of white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei). A necessary condition to improve this trait through selective breeding is the existence of genetic variability for the ...

Optimum mating designs for exploiting dominance in genomic selection schemes for aquaculture species
Genetics Selection Evolution, 2021 Background In commercial fish, dominance effects could be exploited by predicting production abilities of the offspring that would be generated by different mating pairs and choosing those pairs that maximise the average offspring phenotype. Consequently,
