Genetic and phenotypic traits in livestock

This study simulates how gene editing impacts dairy cattle breeding programs by reducing harmful allele frequencies and inbreeding.

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

This study evaluates imputation accuracy in cattle and identifies QTL for milk fat percentage using imputed variants.

The paper compares mutation calling from whole exome and RNA sequencing data in lactating Holstein cows, finding RNAseq can serve as a proxy for exome sequencing with some limitations.

The paper investigates the genetic architecture of long-term selection responses in Virginia chicken lines, identifying multiple loci and genetic mechanisms contributing to body weight variation.

This paper reviews bioinformatics resources and omics technologies used in boar taint studies in pigs, highlighting their role in identifying QTLs and biomarkers.
