Genome-Wide Association Study Based on Random Regression Model Reveals Candidate Genes Associated with Longitudinal Data in Chinese Simmental Beef Cattle [PDF]
Body weight (BW) is an important longitudinal trait that directly described the growth gain of bovine in production. However, previous genome-wide association study (GWAS) mainly focused on the single-record traits, with less attention paid to ...

A Random Regression Model Based on a Single-Step Method for Improving the Genomic Prediction Accuracy of Residual Feed Intake in Pigs [PDF]
Residual feed intake (RFI) is considered as a measurement of feed efficiency, which is greatly related to the growth performance in pigs. Daily feeding records can be obtained from automatic feeders.
