Growth and meat production are the most relevant targets for animal breeders, there are
strong relationships between animal growth regulation, body composition and meat quality …

We present a novel way to select for highly polygenic traits. For millennia, humans have
used observable phenotypes to selectively breed stronger or more productive livestock and …

ADAM is a computer program that models selective breeding schemes for animals using
stochastic simulation. The program simulates a population of animals and traces the genetic …

The aim of this study was to compare genetic gain for a traditional aquaculture sib breeding
scheme with breeding values based on phenotypic data (TBLUP) with a breeding scheme …

Genomewide marker information can improve the reliability of breeding value predictions for
young selection candidates in genomic selection. However, the cost of genoty** limits its …

This study investigated whether selection using genotype information reduced the rate and
level of true inbreeding, that is, identity by descent, at a selectively neutral locus as well as a …

Molecular markers usually do not have any biological effect. They are identifiable DNA
sequences, found at specific locations of the genome, and transmitted from one generation …

Simple Summary Herein, the mRNA expression profile and genetic variations of bovine
FRAS1 detected by GWAS, as well as their association with fertility-related characteristics in …

Simple Summary Mastitis causes economic loss due to discarded milk and reduced milk
production and quality, increased medical care costs and somatic cell count (SCC) …

Maintaining genetic diversity for crop improvement and improving the quality of genetic
resource management is both an inevitable part of nowadays maize breeding. ISSR markers …
