Assessment of autozygosity in Nellore cows (Bos indicus) through high-density SNP genotypes
The use of relatively low numbers of sires in cattle breeding programs, particularly on those for carcass and weight traits in Nellore beef cattle (Bos indicus) in Brazil, has always raised concerns about inbreeding, which affects conservation of genetic resources and sustainability of this breed. Here, we investigated the distribution of autozygosity levels based on runs of homozygosity (ROH) ...
متن کاملImputation of microsatellite alleles from dense SNP genotypes for parentage verification across multiple Bos taurus and Bos indicus breeds
To assist cattle producers transition from microsatellite (MS) to single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping for parental verification we previously devised an effective and inexpensive method to impute MS alleles from SNP haplotypes. While the reported method was verified with only a limited data set (N = 479) from Brown Swiss, Guernsey, Holstein, and Jersey cattle, some of the MS-SNP hap...
متن کاملPosters IMPUTATION OF MISSING GENOTYPES IN HIGH DENSITY SNP DATA
The accuracy and computational complexity of five methods to impute missing genotypes in high density SNP data was investigated. The haplotype reconstruction package fastPHASE reached the highest accuracies (91% to 98%) for varying proportions (0.2% to 8%) of missing genotypes. Alternative methods based on principal component analysis were less accurate (67% to 94%), but their computational dem...
متن کاملGenetic variability of 10 microsatellite markers in the characterization of Brazilian Nellore cattle (Bos indicus)
We assessed the polymorphism of 10 microsatellites in Brazilian Nellore cattle (Bos indicus) using a commercial multiplex system. Allele frequencies, polymorphism information content, heterozygosity and exclusion probability were calculated. Allele frequencies revealed that in the sample analyzed the markers were not equally polymorphic. The exclusion probabilities and the polymorphism informat...
متن کاملPleiotropic Genes Affecting Carcass Traits in Bos indicus (Nellore) Cattle Are Modulators of Growth
Two complementary methods, namely Multi-Trait Meta-Analysis and Versatile Gene-Based Test for Genome-wide Association Studies (VEGAS), were used to identify putative pleiotropic genes affecting carcass traits in Bos indicus (Nellore) cattle. The genotypic data comprised over 777,000 single-nucleotide polymorphism markers scored in 995 bulls, and the phenotypic data included deregressed breeding...
