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),

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.

The lipoprotein subfraction profile: heritability and identification of quantitative trait loci [PDF]

Journal of Lipid Research, 2008
The HDL and LDL subclass profile is an emerging cardiovascular risk factor. Yet, the biological and genetic mechanisms controlling the lipoprotein subclass distribution are unclear. Therefore, we aimed 1) to determine the heritability of the entire spectrum of LDL and HDL subclass features and 2) to identify gene loci influencing the lipoprotein ...

The role of social effects in selection for animal improvement

Revista Brasileira de Zootecnia, 2008
Quantitative genetics can be used to understand how traits will respond to artificial selection regimes, and therefore, it can be an important tool in the development of selective breeding programs for animal improvement. In order to predict the response

Transcriptome-wide association studies: recent advances in methods, applications and available databases

Communications Biology, 2023
Genome-wide association study has identified fruitful variants impacting heritable traits. Nevertheless, identifying critical genes underlying those significant variants has been a great task.

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

Heritability and quantitative genetic divergence of serotiny, a fire-persistence plant trait [PDF]

Annals of Botany, 2014
Although it is well known that fire acts as a selective pressure shaping plant phenotypes, there are no quantitative estimates of the heritability of any trait related to plant persistence under recurrent fires, such as serotiny. In this study, the heritability of serotiny in Pinus halepensis is calculated, and an evaluation is made as to whether fire ...

Composition of the ileum microbiota is a mediator between the host genome and phosphorus utilization and other efficiency traits in Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica)

Genetics Selection Evolution, 2022
Background Phosphorus is an essential nutrient in all living organisms and, currently, it is the focus of much attention due to its global scarcity, the environmental impact of phosphorus from excreta, and its low digestibility due to its storage in the ...

Variation in seed dormancy quantitative trait loci in Arabidopsis thaliana originating from one site [PDF]

, 2011
A Quantitative Trait Locus (QTL) analysis was performed using two novel Recombinant Inbred Line (RIL) populations, derived from the progeny between two Arabidopsis thaliana genotypes collected at the same site in Kyoto (Japan) crossed with the reference ...
