estimation of population stratification in crossbred and inbred dairy cattle using genome wide association by simulation
introduction: domestic animals are invaluable resources to study the molecular architecture of complex traits. although the mapping of quantitative trait loci (qtl) underlying economically important traits in domestic animals has achieved remarkable results in recent decades, not all of the genetic variation in the complex traits has been captured due to the low density of markers used in qtl m...
متن کاملPredicting CpG Islands and DNA Methlation in the Cow Genome Using DNA Microarray Meta-Analysis and Genome Wide Scanning
DNA methylation is a type of epigenetic changes that directly affects DNA. In mammals, DNA methylation is essential for fetal development and stem cell differentiation and this phenomenon essentially occurs within the CpG islands. In this study, two methods were used to study the DNA methylation profile of cow genome. In the first method, the DNA methylation profile of the differentially expres...
متن کاملGenome-Wide and Locus Specific Alterations in CDC73/HRPT2-Mutated Parathyroid Tumors
Mutations in the hyperparathyroidism type 2 (HRPT2/CDC73) gene and alterations in the parafibromin protein have been established in the majority of parathyroid carcinomas and in subsets of parathyroid adenomas. While it is known that CDC73-mutated parathyroid tumors display specific gene expression changes compared to CDC73 wild-type cases, the molecular cytogenetic profile in CDC73-mutated cas...
متن کاملEstimation of U.S. Yorkshire breed composition using genomic data.
The Yorkshire breed uses white coat color as a selection requirement to indicate breed purity. In this study, genomic information from chromosomal regions, as well as the whole genome, was applied to estimate breed composition of purebred Yorkshire animals. Genotypes for approximately 60,000 SNP from the Illumina PorcineSNP60 BeadChip (60K) were available for reference animals for which the gen...
متن کاملGenome-wide identification of lineage and locus specific variation associated with pneumococcal carriage duration
Streptococcus pneumoniae is a leading cause of invasive disease in infants, especially in low-income settings. Asymptomatic carriage in the nasopharynx is a prerequisite for disease, but variability in its duration is currently only understood at the serotype level. Here we developed a model to calculate the duration of carriage episodes from longitudinal swab data, and combined these results w...
