Detection of QTL with effects on osmoregulation capacities in the rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Background There is increasing evidence that the ability to adapt to seawater in teleost fish is modulated by genetic factors. Most studies have involved the comparison of species or strains and little is known about the genetic architecture of the ...

Mapping QTLs for traits measured as percentages

open access: yesGenetical Research, 2004
Many quantitative traits are measured as percentages. As a result, the assumption of a normal distribution for the residual errors of such percentage data is often violated. However, most quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping procedures assume normality of the residuals.

TOP1MT rs2293925 is an enhancer‐active regulatory SNP that shapes mitochondrial R‐loop dynamics

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
This study shows how a common genetic variant of mitochondrial topoisomerase 1 (TOP1MT rs2293925) can influence mitochondrial gene regulation, DNA topology, and formation of noncanonical nucleic acid structures such as R‐loops. By linking this enhancer‐active variant to mitochondrial nucleic acid stress in cellular contexts relevant to amyotrophic ...

QTLMAS 2009: simulated dataset [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Background - The simulation of the data for the QTLMAS 2009 Workshop is described. Objective was to simulate observations from a growth curve which was influenced by a number of QTL.

Evaluating Selection Strategies Based on Inbreeding Load via Simulation

open access: yesJournal 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.

NL QTL mapping pedigree

open access: yes, 2015
Not all genotyped individuals could be linked into a pedigree suitable for QTL mapping, therefore these files contain only related genotyped individuals and their shared (sometimes ungenotyped) relatives.

Sensitivity of methods for estimating breeding values using genetic markers to the number of QTL and distribution of QTL variance [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The objective of this simulation study was to compare the effect of the number of QTL and distribution of QTL variance on the accuracy of breeding values estimated with genomewide markers (MEBV).

Genetic Evaluation of Pure Line Laying Hens Based on Crossover Testing Data From Simulated Populations

open access: yesJournal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Commercial laying hen breeding programs aim to maximize the performance of crossbred animals. However, selection is usually based on data from pure lines raised in controlled nucleus environments, which may not fully predict the yields under commercial conditions.

Genome‐Wide Association Studies for Anogenital Distance and Linear Type Traits in Gir Cattle

open access: yesJournal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Although linear type traits have been under selection in the Dairy Gir cattle for the past three decades, there are few studies exploring genetic architecture for these traits. The aim of this study was to identify candidate genes for anogenital distance and linear type traits in the Gir breed. For this study, the body measures of rump length (
