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

BMC Genomics, 2023
Abstract 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.

Inbreeding depression in the Lizard canary breed estimated by pedigree analysis [PDF]

Czech Journal of Animal Science, 2016
The influence of inbreeding depression on phenotypic traits of the Lizard canary from an Italian breeder was evaluated. The following traits were studied: birds' life span, number of surviving offspring, and morphological traits (type of plumage, spangles, feather quality, breast, cap, ground colour, wings and tail, eyelashes, covert feathers, beak ...

Sensitive males: inbreeding depression in an endangered bird [PDF]

, 2010
Attempts to conserve threatened species by establishing new populations via reintroduction are controversial. Theory predicts that genetic bottlenecks result in increased mating between relatives and inbreeding depression.

Investigating inbreeding in the turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) genome

Poultry Science, 2021
: The detrimental effects of increased homozygosity due to inbreeding have prompted the development of methods to reduce inbreeding. The detection of runs of homozygosity (ROH), or contiguous stretches of homozygous marker genotypes, can be used to ...

Population Structure and Inbreeding From Pedigree Analysis of Purebred Dogs [PDF]

Genetics, 2008
AbstractDogs are of increasing interest as models for human diseases, and many canine population-association studies are beginning to emerge. The choice of breeds for such studies should be informed by a knowledge of factors such as inbreeding, genetic diversity, and population structure, which are likely to depend on breed-specific selective breeding ...

Estimate of inbreeding depression on growth and reproductive traits in a Large White pig population

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2022
With the broad application of genomic information, SNP-based measures of estimating inbreeding have been widely used in animal breeding, especially based on runs of homozygosity.

Comparison of pedigree-based (FPED) and genomic inbreeding (FROH) in Croatian Holstein cattle using pedigree and SNP data

Mljekarstvo
The two most commonly used approaches for estimating inbreeding and structural relationships in livestock populations are pedigree-based and genomic methods.

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

G3 Genes|Genomes|Genetics, 2016
Abstract 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 a “purged inbreeding coefficient”.

The Relationship between Inbreeding and Fitness Is Different between Two Genetic Lines of European Bison

Diversity, 2023
The pedigree data for European bison are published in the European Bison Pedigree Book, established one hundred years ago. The species passed a serious bottleneck and was kept in captivity for more than 30 years.
