Genomic prediction based on selected variants from imputed whole-genome sequence data in Australian sheep populations

Genetics Selection Evolution, 2019
Background Whole-genome sequence (WGS) data could contain information on genetic variants at or in high linkage disequilibrium with causative mutations that underlie the genetic variation of polygenic traits.

Using imputed whole-genome sequence data to improve the accuracy of genomic prediction for parasite resistance in Australian sheep

Genetics Selection Evolution, 2019
Background This study aimed at (1) comparing the accuracies of genomic prediction for parasite resistance in sheep based on whole-genome sequence (WGS) data to those based on 50k and high-density (HD) single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) panels; (2 ...

Targeted Demethylation of the TGFβ1 mRNA Promotes Myoblast Proliferation via Activating the SMAD2 Signaling Pathway

Cells, 2023
Recent evidence suggested that N6-methyladenosine (m6A) methylation can determine m6A-modified mRNA fate and play an important role in skeletal muscle development.

Recognition of lameness and decisions to catch for inspection among sheep farmers and specialists in GB [PDF]

, 2008
Background: Epidemiological studies have used farmer estimates of the prevalence of lameness in their flocks. This assumes that farmers can identify lame sheep.

Proteinase K-Resistant Material in ARR/VRQ Sheep Brain Affected with Classical Scrapie Is Composed Mainly of VRQ Prion Protein [PDF]

, 2011
Classical scrapie is a prion disease in sheep and goats. In sheep, susceptibility to disease is genetically influenced by single amino acid substitutions.

Genomic prediction from observed and imputed high-density ovine genotypes

Genetics Selection Evolution, 2017
Background Genomic prediction using high-density (HD) marker genotypes is expected to lead to higher prediction accuracy, particularly for more heterogeneous multi-breed and crossbred populations such as those in sheep and beef cattle, due to providing ...

Initial Bloom Color is a Poor Predictor of Retail Color Stability in Lamb Loin Meat

Meat and Muscle Biology, 2019
The rapid browning of lamb meat on retail display reduces its appeal to consumers and thus the marketability of lamb meat. Predicting the rate of meat browning on retail display would allow retailers to effectively manage this issue.
