Analysis of selection signatures in the beef cattle genome

Czech Journal of Animal Science, 2019
This study aimed to evaluate the impact of selection on the genome structure of beef cattle through identification of selection signatures reflecting the breeding standard of each breed and to discover potential functional genetic variants to improve ...

Genetic architecture and selection of Anhui autochthonous pig population revealed by whole genome resequencing

Frontiers in Genetics, 2022
The genetic resources among pigs in Anhui Province are diverse, but their value and potential have yet to be discovered. To illustrate the genetic diversity and population structure of the Anhui pigs population, we resequenced the genome of 150 pigs from

The impact of geography and climate on the population structure and local adaptation in a wild bee

Evolutionary Applications, 2023
Deciphering processes that contribute to genetic differentiation and divergent selection of natural populations is useful for evaluating the adaptive potential and resilience of organisms faced with various anthropogenic stressors.

Developments in target micro-Doppler signatures analysis : radar imaging, ultrasound and through-the-wall radar [PDF]

, 2013
Target motions, other than the main bulk translation of the target, induce Doppler modulations around the main Doppler shift that form what is commonly called a target micro-Doppler signature.

Detection of selection signatures in dairy and beef cattle using high-density genomic information [PDF]

, 2015
peer-reviewedBackground Artificial selection for economically important traits in cattle is expected to have left distinctive selection signatures on the genome. Access to high-density genotypes facilitates the accurate identification of

Genome-wide analysis of selection on the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum in West African populations of differing infection endemicity. [PDF]

, 2014
Locally varying selection on pathogens may be due to differences in drug pressure, host immunity, transmission opportunities between hosts, or the intensity of between-genotype competition within hosts. Highly recombining populations of the human malaria

A Genetic Investigation of Island Jersey Cattle, the Foundation of the Jersey Breed: Comparing Population Structure and Selection to Guernsey, Holstein, and United States Jersey Cattle

Frontiers in Genetics, 2020
For two centuries, Jersey cattle were exported globally, adapting to varying climates and production systems, yet the founding population remained genetically isolated on the Island of Jersey. The Island of Jersey formally allowed the importation of pure

Unravelling selection signatures in a single dog breed suggests recent selection for morphological and behavioral traits

Advanced Genetics, 2020
Strong selection has resulted in substantial morphological and behavioral diversity across modern dog breeds, which makes dogs interesting model animals to study the underlying genetic architecture of these traits.

Genomic Signatures of Selection Associated With Litter Size Trait in Jining Gray Goat

Frontiers in Genetics, 2020
Litter size (LS), an important economic trait in livestock, is so complicate that involves many aspects of reproduction, the underlying mechanism of which particularly in goat has always been scanty.

Simultaneous testing of rule- and model-based approaches for runs of homozygosity detection opens up a window into genomic footprints of selection in pigs

BMC Genomics, 2022
Background Past selection events left footprints in the genome of domestic animals, which can be traced back by stretches of homozygous genotypes, designated as runs of homozygosity (ROHs).
