Practical Considerations When Using Mendelian Sampling Variances for Selection Decisions in Genomic Selection Programs

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The purpose of this work was to test the application of selection criteria that consider the genetic variances of future generations. This has not been done previously in numerically large livestock breeding programs based on estimated rather than assumed known marker effects.

Genomic Diversity of U.S. Katahdin Hair Sheep

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In the late 1950s, Katahdin hair sheep were developed as a composite breed of medium size and moderate prolificacy, with potential to express resistance to gastrointestinal nematodes. With increasing popularity and the recent adoption of genomic prediction in their genetic evaluation, there is a risk of decreasing variation with selection ...

Optimal Combination of Different Selection and Mating Strategies on Exploiting Genetic Diversity and Genetic Gain in Small Pig Conservation Populations

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Both selection and mating systems are essential tools for breeders to conserve the genetic variance and improve the performance of livestock animals. How to effectively balance the genetic gain and inbreeding has always been an important issue in quantitative genetics research.

Bayesian Recursive and Structural Equation Models to Infer Causal Links Among Gait Visual Scores on Campolina Horses

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Gait visual scores are widely applied to horse breeding because they are a fast and easy phenotyping strategy, allowing the numeric interpretation of a complex biological process such as gait quality. However, they may suffer from subjectivity or high environmental influence.

A Recursive Model Approach to Include Epigenetic Effects in Genetic Evaluations Using Simulated DNA Methylation Effects

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The advancement of epigenetics has highlighted DNA methylation as an intermediate‐omic influencing gene regulation and phenotypic expression. With emerging technologies enabling the large‐scale and affordable capture of methylation data, there is growing interest in integrating this information into genetic evaluation models for animal ...
