Genetic architecture of white striping in turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo). [PDF]

Sci Rep
AbstractWhite striping (WS) is a myopathy of growing concern to the turkey industry. It is rising in prevalence and has negative consequences for consumer acceptance and the functional properties of turkey meat. The objective of this study was to conduct a genome-wide association study (GWAS) and functional analysis on WS severity.

Single-Step Methodology for Genomic Evaluation in Turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo). [PDF]

Front Genet, 2019
Genomic information can contribute significantly to the increase in accuracy of genetic predictions compared to using pedigree relationships alone. The main objective of this study was to compare the prediction ability of pedigree-based best linear unbiased prediction (PBLUP) and single-step genomic BLUP (ssGBLUP) models.
