Multi-Trait GWAS and New Candidate Genes Annotation for Growth Curve Parameters in Brahman Cattle
Understanding the genetic architecture of beef cattle growth cannot be limited simply to the genome-wide association study (GWAS) for body weight at any specific ages, but should be extended to a more general purpose by considering the whole growth trajectory over time using a growth curve approach. For such an approach, the parameters that are used to describe growth curves were treated as phe...
متن کاملGenetic and environmental growth trait parameter estimates for Brahman and Brahman-derivative cattle.
Beefmaster, Brahman, Brangus, and Santa Gertrudis field data records were used to determine genetic and environmental parameter estimates using a multiple-trait, pseudo-expectation approach. Adjusted birth weight, 205-d weight, and postweaning gain records were analyzed for each breed. Also, Brangus weaning sheath and navel scores were both analyzed using a single-trait, pseudo-expectation meth...
متن کاملEstimates of genetic parameters for growth traits in Brahman cattle using random regression and multitrait models.
Random regression models (RRM) and multitrait models (MTM) were used to estimate genetic parameters for growth traits in Brazilian Brahman cattle and to compare the estimated breeding values obtained by these 2 methodologies. For RRM, 78,641 weight records taken between 60 and 550 d of age from 16,204 cattle were analyzed, and for MTM, the analysis consisted of 17,385 weight records taken at th...
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 ...
