Large-scale association study on daily weight gain in pigs reveals overlap of genetic factors for growth in humans

BMC Genomics, 2022
Background Imputation from genotyping array to whole-genome sequence variants using resequencing of representative reference populations enhances our ability to map genetic factors affecting complex phenotypes in livestock species.

COMPARISON OF QUANTITATIVE GENETIC PARAMETERS [PDF]

Evolution, 1992
Shaw (1991) has described a maximum-likelihood procedure for comparing genetic covariance matrices between populations. While her efforts to expand the procedures available for quantitative genetic analyses are laudable, her discussion is incomplete in several respects. For example, consider her criticism of Dietz's matrix permutation test (Dietz, 1983)

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

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.

Quantitative Trait Loci Affecting Milk Production Traits in Finnish Ayrshire Dairy Cattle [PDF]

, 2003
A whole genome scan of Finnish Ayrshire was conducted tomap quantitative trait loci (QTL) affecting milk production. The analysis included 12 half-sib families containing a total of 494 bulls in a granddaughter design.

Mapping quantitative trait loci and identification of genes that control fatness in poultry [PDF]

, 2002
Chicken genomics has benefited from the rapid technological advances in the genomics of model organisms and man. A number of resources and approaches are now well established, in the chicken, including genetic markers and maps (both genetic and physical),

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 ...

Accuracy of multi-trait genomic selection using different methods [PDF]

, 2011
Background Genomic selection has become a very important tool in animal genetics and is rapidly emerging in plant genetics. It holds the promise to be particularly beneficial to select for traits that are difficult or expensive to measure, such as traits
