The world demand for animal-based food products is anticipated to increase by 70% by
2050. Meeting this demand in a way that has a minimal impact on the environment will …

The 1000 Bull Genomes Project is a collection of whole-genome sequences from 2,703
individuals capturing a significant proportion of the world's cattle diversity. So far, 84 million …

Behavioral genetics in dogs has focused on modern breeds, which are isolated subgroups
with distinctive physical and, purportedly, behavioral characteristics. We interrogated breed …

Domestic dog breeds are characterized by an unrivaled diversity of morphologic traits and
breed-associated behaviors resulting from human selective pressures. To identify the …

Domestic sheep and their wild relatives harbor substantial genetic variants that can form the
backbone of molecular breeding, but their genome landscapes remain understudied. Here …

Genome-wide association study (GWAS) is a powerful approach to identify genomic regions
and genetic variants associated with phenotypes. However, only limited mutual confirmation …

INTRODUCTION Sex differences are widespread in humans and other mammals. For
example, the distribution of height or body size is shifted upwards in males relative to …

Tomato flavor has changed over the course of long-term domestication and intensive
breeding. To understand the genetic control of flavor, we report the meta-analysis of genome …

Functional annotation of genomes is a prerequisite for contemporary basic and applied
genomic research, yet farmed animal genomics is deficient in such annotation. To address …

The difficulty in finding causative mutations has hampered their use in genomic prediction.
Here, we present a methodology to fine-map potentially causal variants genome-wide by …
