Genetic parameters for body weight and different definitions of residual feed intake in broiler chickens
BACKGROUND: The objectives of this study were to (1) simultaneously estimate genetic parameters for BW, feed intake (FI), and body …
Article scientifique
Genome-wide association scan for heterotic quantitative trait loci in multi-breed and crossbred beef cattle
BACKGROUND: Heterosis has been suggested to be caused by dominance effects. We performed a joint genome-wide association analysis (GWAS) using …
Article scientifique
Misidentification of runs of homozygosity islands in cattle caused by interference with copy number variation or large intermarker distances
BACKGROUND: Runs of homozygosity (ROH) islands are stretches of homozygous sequence in the genome of a large proportion of individuals …
Article scientifique
Eigen decomposition expedites longitudinal genome-wide association studies for milk production traits in Chinese Holstein
BACKGROUND: Pseudo-phenotypes, such as 305-day yields, estimated breeding values or deregressed proofs, are usually used as response variables for genome-wide …
Article scientifique
Accuracies of univariate and multivariate genomic prediction models in African cassava
BACKGROUND: Genomic selection (GS) promises to accelerate genetic gain in plant breeding programs especially for crop species such as cassava …
Article scientifique
Genetic parameters and expected responses to selection for components of feed efficiency in a Duroc pig line
BACKGROUND: Improving feed efficiency ([Formula: see text]) is a key factor for any pig breeding company. Although this can be …
Article scientifique
Interaction of direct and social genetic effects with feeding regime in growing rabbits
BACKGROUND: Most rabbit production farms apply feed restriction at fattening because of its protective effect against digestive diseases that affect …
Article scientifique
Analysis of the genetic variation in mitochondrial DNA, Y-chromosome sequences, and MC1R sheds light on the ancestry of Nigerian indigenous pigs
BACKGROUND: The history of pig populations in Africa remains controversial due to insufficient evidence from archaeological and genetic data. Previously, …
