Genomic selection in admixed and crossbred populations.
In livestock, genomic selection (GS) has primarily been investigated by simulation of purebred populations. Traits of interest are, however, often measured in crossbred or mixed populations with uncertain breed composition. If such data are used as the training data for GS without accounting for breed composition, estimates of marker effects may be biased due to population stratification and ad...
متن کاملAccuracy of genomic prediction when combining two related crossbred populations.
Charolais bulls are selected for their crossbreed performance when mated to Montbéliard or Holstein dams. To implement genomic prediction, one could build a reference population for each crossbred population independently. An alternative could be to combine both crossbred populations into a single reference population to increase size and accuracy of prediction. The objective of this study was ...
متن کاملEstimating kinship in admixed populations.
Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) are commonly used for the mapping of genetic loci that influence complex traits. A problem that is often encountered in both population-based and family-based GWASs is that of identifying cryptic relatedness and population stratification because it is well known that failure to appropriately account for both pedigree and population structure can lead to s...
متن کاملEstimating local ancestry in admixed populations.
Large-scale genotyping of SNPs has shown a great promise in identifying markers that could be linked to diseases. One of the major obstacles involved in performing these studies is that the underlying population substructure could produce spurious associations. Population substructure can be caused by the presence of two distinct subpopulations or a single pool of admixed individuals. In this w...
متن کاملAncestry specific association mapping in admixed populations
Genetic association studies have during the last decade proven to be a powerful approach to identifying disease-causing variants. However, many populations, like the Greenlandic Inuit population, have recently experienced substantial admixture with other populations, which can complicate association studies. One important complication is that most current methods for performing association test...
