Genome-Wide Association for Growth Traits in Canchim Beef Cattle
Studies are being conducted on the applicability of genomic data to improve the accuracy of the selection process in livestock, and genome-wide association studies (GWAS) provide valuable information to enhance the understanding on the genetics of complex traits. The aim of this study was to identify genomic regions and genes that play roles in birth weight (BW), weaning weight adjusted for 210...
متن کاملInitial Genome-Wide Association Study of Feed Intake Related Traits in Beef Cattle
Importance of Feed Efficiency The ability to improve the utilization of nutrients has tremendous potential to improve profitability. It has been estimated that a 10% improvement in performance (gain) would increase profit by 18%, while a 10% improvement in efficiency could improve profit by upwards of 43%. It has also been estimated that a 10% improvement in feed efficiency (assumed to be a 2 l...
متن کاملMapping of fertility traits in Finnish Ayrshire by genome-wide association analysis.
A whole-genome scan using single marker association was used to detect chromosome regions associated with seven female fertility traits in Finnish Ayrshire dairy cattle. The phenotypic data consisted of de-regressed estimated breeding values for 340 bulls which were estimated using a single trait model. Genotypes were obtained with the Illumina BovineSNP50 panel and a total of 35 630 informativ...
متن کاملGenome-wide association study for behavior, type traits, and muscular development in Charolais beef cattle.
Behavior, type traits, and muscular development are of interest for beef cattle breeding. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) enable the identification of candidate genes, which enables gene-based selection and provides insight in the genetic architecture of these traits. The objective of the current study was to perform a GWAS for 3 behavior traits, 12 type traits, and muscular development ...
متن کاملGenome wide association study for feed efficiency traits in beef cattle using CNV
The purpose of this study was: (i) to validate and detect copy number variations (CNV) in the cattle genome, and (ii) to find associations between CNV and feed efficiency traits. Average daily gain and dry matter intake were obtained from 3,884 beef cattle. Animals were genotyped with the panels of 50,000 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) or 770,000 SNP. The log R ratio (LRR) was used as an...
