The Relationship between Runs of Homozygosity and Inbreeding in Jersey Cattle under Selection
Inbreeding is often an inevitable outcome of strong directional artificial selection but on average it reduces population fitness with increased frequency of recessive deleterious alleles. Runs of homozygosity (ROH) representing genomic autozygosity that occur from mating between selected and genomically related individuals may be able to reveal the regions affecting fitness. To examine the inf...
متن کاملA Proposed Selection Index for Jersey Cattle in Zimbabwe
A multitrait selection index (I T ) for Zimbabwean Jersey cattle was constructed. The breeding objective was defined in terms of production and functionality traits. The production component of the index included milk yield (M), butterfat yield (F), protein yield (P), butterfat percent (F%), and protein percent (P%), while the functional component included the somatic cell count (SCC). The inde...
متن کاملGenome-Wide Association Analysis and Genomic Prediction of Mycobacterium avium Subspecies paratuberculosis Infection in US Jersey Cattle
Paratuberculosis (Johne's disease), an enteric disorder in ruminants caused by Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP), causes economic losses in excess of $200 million annually to the US dairy industry. To identify genomic regions underlying susceptibility to MAP infection in Jersey cattle, a case-control genome-wide association study (GWAS) was performed. Blood and fecal samples...
متن کاملGenomic Selection in Nelore Cattle in Brazil
Despite a favorable business model, genomic selection is still not a popular tool for genetic improvement of Nelore cattle in Brazil mainly due to the lack of a costeffective strategy for its application. Different independent Nelore breeding programs have already developed prediction equations for usual and difficult/expensive to measure traits. Unfortunately, some programs are using genomic p...
متن کاملStudy of Genomic Structure and Signatures of Recent Positive Selection in Cattle
We used DNA samples of 810 German Holstein–Friesian cattle genotyped by the Illumina Bovine SNP50K BeadChip to analyze linkage disequilibrium (LD) structure. A panel of 40’854 (75.65%) markers was included into the final analysis. The pair-wise r statistic of SNPs apart up to 5Mbp across the genome was estimated. A mean value of r =0.30 ± 0.32 was observed in pair-wise distances of <25 Kb and i...
