Estimation of Variance Components for Body Weight of Moghani Sheep Using B-Spline Random Regression Models
The aim of the present study was the estimation of (co) variance components and genetic parameters for body weight of Moghani sheep, using random regression models based on B-Splines functions. The data set included 9165 body weight records from 60 to 360 days of age from 2811 Moghani sheep, collected between 1994 to 2013 from Jafar-Abad Animal Research and Breeding Institute, Ardabil province,...
متن کاملEvaluation of alternative schemes for recording body weights in meat-type quails by using random regression.
Data from 8759 meat-type quails from the UFV1 strain and 9128 from the UFV2 strain were used to assess the possibility of reducing the number of body weight records in genetic evaluations. The evaluated animals were weighed weekly since hatching to the 6th week of life, with up to 7 records of body weight for each bird. The data were evaluated by random regression models, with 9 alternative sch...
متن کاملTransgenerational epigenetic effects.
Transgenerational epigenetic effects include all processes that have evolved to achieve the nongenetic determination of phenotype. There has been a long-standing interest in this area from evolutionary biologists, who refer to it as non-Mendelian inheritance. Transgenerational epigenetic effects include both the physiological and behavioral (intellectual) transfer of information across generati...
متن کاملTransgenerational Epigenetic Inheritance
Recent fi ndings in the emerging fi eld of transgenerational epigenetic inheritance suggest that the lifestyle choices and experiences of an individual have biological implications for offspring not yet conceived. Studies show that diet, drugs, and even social experiences can lead to life-long changes in gene expression. Some changes in gene expression are passed down to future generations. The...
