The paper develops a model to quantify social genetic effects on feed intake in pigs by analyzing feeding visit intervals and transforming variance components into aggregated traits.

This study examines how genomic selection affects allele frequencies and new mutations over fifty generations, finding that genomic selection leads to faster and larger changes in allele frequencies compared to pedigree selection.

This study simulates the long-term effects of genomic selection on genetic architecture, showing that non-additive effects significantly impact genetic variance and allele frequency changes over generations.

The paper develops a method to model substitution effect correlations across populations and generations considering non-additive gene action, using variance components and genetic distances.

This paper develops a statistical model to detect buffering loci in genome-wide association studies and identifies loci with significant epistatic effects but no additive effects in bovine data.

This paper introduces metafounders as pseudo-individuals to reduce bias in genomic evaluations by incorporating ancestral relationships estimated from marker genotypes and pedigrees.
