Genetic analysis of litter size in mice
We performed quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping analysis for litter size (total number of pups born and/or number of pups born alive) in 255 backcross mice derived from C57BL/6J and RR/Sgn inbred mice. We identified one significant QTL on chromosome 7 and 4 suggestive QTLs on chromosomes 3, 5, 10 and 13. In addition, two suggestive QTLs were identified on chromosomes 1 and 4 for the number ...
متن کاملGenetic Correlation between Growth Rate and Litter Size in Mice.
UANTITATIVE geneticists have long been aware that correlated responses Q are common in populations under different types of selection. The primary implication of a correlated response is that the character under selection is genetically correlated with another character, though other parameters affect the magnitude of the correlated response. In the course of selection for a single trait, other...
متن کاملGenetic analysis of a strain of mice plateaued for litter size.
A strain of mice (S1) was successfully selected for large litter size for 31 generations, increasing the mean by 4.2 young per litter. After generation 31, there was no further progress and it was concluded that a selection plateau had been reached. Realized heritability decreased during the course of the experiment from 0.16+/-0.06 for the first 15 generations to 0.00+/-0.03 for generations 30...
متن کاملEstimation of genetic parameters of litter size in Moghani sheep using threshold model via Bayesian approach
This study was conducted to estimate the genetic parameters of litter size (LS) in Moghani sheep using threshold model via Bayesian approach. The data originated from the Jafar-Abad Station of Ardabil province, Iran, and included 9698 lactation records of 4977 ewes with lambings from 1995 until 2010. The pedigree file consisted of data on animals born from 1987 to 2010. The significance of fixe...
متن کاملEpistasis affecting litter size in mice.
Litter size is an important reproductive trait as it makes a major contribution to fitness. Generally, traits closely related to fitness show low heritability perhaps because of the corrosive effects of directional natural selection on the additive genetic variance. Nonetheless, low heritability does not imply, necessarily, a complete absence of genetic variation because genetic interactions (e...
