Searching for new loci and candidate genes for economically important traits through gene-based association analysis of Simmental cattle
Single-marker genome-wide association study (GWAS) is a convenient strategy of genetic analysis that has been successful in detecting the association of a number of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with quantitative traits. However, analysis of individual SNPs can only account for a small proportion of genetic variation and offers only limited knowledge of complex traits. This inadequacy ...
متن کاملWhole Genome Analysis of Heifer Puberty in Brahman Cattle
Whole genome association studies have been increasingly used for QTL discovery. Analyses can performed using single marker (for example, single-nucleotide polymorphism, SNP) regression, but have also evolved to multiple marker (SNPs) regression to facilitate genomic selection. A major area of importance to the Northern Australian beef industry is female reproductive rate; specifically the numbe...
متن کاملEstimated genetic parameters for carcass traits of Brahman cattle.
Heritabilities and genetic and phenotypic correlations were estimated from feedlot and carcass data collected from Brahman calves (n = 504) in central Florida from 1996 to 2000. Data were analyzed using animal models in MTDFREML. Models included contemporary group (n = 44; groups of calves of the same sex, fed in the same pen, slaughtered on the same day) as a fixed effect and calf age in days ...
متن کاملDiscovery of novel genetic networks associated with 19 economically important traits in beef cattle
Quantitative or complex traits are determined by the combined effects of many loci, and are affected by genetic networks or molecular pathways. In the present study, we genotyped a total of 138 mutations, mainly single nucleotide polymorphisms derived from 71 functional genes on a Wagyu x Limousin reference population. Two hundred forty six F(2) animals were measured for 5 carcass, 6 eating qua...
متن کاملMapping and exploiting economically important genes in Australian pigs
Over the past 7 years, a number of Australian institutions, including the University of Sydney, the Victorian Institute of Animal Science and University of Melbourne, the Animal Genetics and Breeding Unit, Armidale, and the Pig Research and Development Corporation and its successor Australian Pork Limited, have financed and participated in a sustained program of porcine genomics research, seeki...
