Mitigating scoring errors in microsatellite data from wild populations

J DeWoody, JD Nason, VD Hipkins - Molecular Ecology Notes, 2006 - Wiley Online Library

Revising how the computer program cervus accommodates genoty** error increases success in paternity assignment

ST Kalinowski, ML Taper, TC Marshall - Molecular ecology, 2007 - Wiley Online Library
Genotypes are frequently used to identify parentage. Such analysis is notoriously vulnerable
to genoty** error, and there is ongoing debate regarding how to solve this problem. Many …

Parentage assignment with genomic markers: a major advance for understanding and exploiting genetic variation of quantitative traits in farmed aquatic animals

M Vandeputte, P Haffray - Frontiers in genetics, 2014 - frontiersin.org
Since the middle of the 1990s, parentage assignment using microsatellite markers has been
introduced as a tool in aquaculture breeding. It now allows close to 100% assignment …

Dynamic epimarks in sex-related genes predict gonad phenotype in the European sea bass, a fish with mixed genetic and environmental sex determination

D Anastasiadi, M Vandeputte, N Sanchez-Baizan… - Epigenetics, 2018 - Taylor & Francis
The integration of genomic and environmental influences into methylation patterns to bring

Breeding without breeding

YA El-Kassaby, M Lstibůrek - Genetics research, 2009 - cambridge.org
An innovative approach to tree breeding called 'breeding without breeding'(BWB) is
presented. The method, as applied on the material in hand, allows the capture of 75–85% of …
