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.

Fast and Accurate Detection of Multiple QTL [PDF]
arXiv, 2012 We present a new computational scheme that enables efficient and reliable Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL) scans for experimental populations. Using a standard brute-force exhaustive search effectively prohibits accurate QTL scans involving more than two loci to be performed in practice, at least if permutation testing is used to determine significance ...

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Swedish Warmblood horses (SWB) are bred for show jumping and/or dressage with young horse test scores as indicator traits. This study aimed to investigate possible candidate genes and regions of importance for evaluated and linearly scored young horse test traits.

Efficient Implementation of the AI-REML Iteration for Variance Component QTL Analysis [PDF]
arXiv, 2007 Regions in the genome that affect complex traits, quantitative trait loci (QTL), can be identified using statistical analysis of genetic and phenotypic data. When restricted maximum-likelihood (REML) models are used, the mapping procedure is normally computationally demanding.
