Genomic prediction using a reference population of multiple pure breeds and admixed individuals

Genetics Selection Evolution, 2021
Background In dairy cattle populations in which crossbreeding has been used, animals show some level of diversity in their origins. In rotational crossbreeding, for instance, crossbred dams are mated with purebred sires from different pure breeds, and ...

The impact of genotyping strategies and statistical models on accuracy of genomic prediction for survival in pigs

Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology, 2023
Background Survival from birth to slaughter is an important economic trait in commercial pig productions. Increasing survival can improve both economic efficiency and animal welfare. The aim of this study is to explore the impact of genotyping strategies

Microbial metal resistance and metabolism across dynamic landscapes: high-throughput environmental microbiology. [PDF]

, 2017
Multidimensional gradients of inorganic compounds influence microbial activity in diverse pristine and anthropogenically perturbed environments. Here, we suggest that high-throughput cultivation and genetics can be systematically applied to generate ...

Quantitative genetics of disease traits [PDF]

, 2015
John James authored two key papers on the theory of risk to relatives for binary disease traits and the relationship between parameters on the observed binary scale and an unobserved scale of liability (James Annals of Human Genetics, 1971; 35: 47; Reich,

QUANTITATIVE GENETICS OF HETEROCHRONY [PDF]

Evolution, 1987
A model of quantitative-genetic variation in developmental processes is introduced and analyzed. The model is of a bifurcating sequence of events in which traits develop from the same tissue until a transition occurs, after which they develop partially independently.

Genes in the postgenomic era [PDF]

, 2006
We outline three very different concepts of the gene - 'instrumental', 'nominal', and 'postgenomic'. The instrumental gene has a critical role in the construction and interpretation of experiments in which the relationship between genotype and phenotype ...

Transcriptomic and presence/absence variation in the barley genome assessed from multi-tissue mRNA sequencing and their power to predict phenotypic traits

BMC Genomics, 2019
Background Barley is the world’s fourth most cultivated cereal and is an important crop model for genetic studies. One layer of genomic information that remains poorly explored in barley is presence/absence variation (PAV), which has been suggested to ...

Signal and Noise in Correlation Matrix [PDF]

, 2004
Using random matrix technique we determine an exact relation between the eigenvalue spectrum of the covariance matrix and of its estimator. This relation can be used in practice to compute eigenvalue invariants of the covariance (correlation) matrix ...

Theory and Practice in Quantitative Genetics [PDF]

, 2003
With the rapid advances in molecular biology, the near completion of the human genome, the development of appropriate statistical genetic methods and the availability of the necessary computing power, the identification of quantitative trait loci has now

Effective Selection for Lower Mortality in Organic Pigs through Selection for Total Number Born and Number of Dead Piglets

Animals, 2022
Selection for the number of living pigs on day 11 (L11) aims to reduce piglet mortality and increase litter size simultaneously. This approach could be sub-optimal, especially for organic pig breeding.
