Title of Document: BAYESIAN ESTIMATION OF THE INBREEDING COEFFICIENT FOR SINGLE NUCLEOTIDE POLYMORPHISM USING COMPLEX SURVEY DATA Zhenyi Xue, Doctor of Philosophy, 2015 Directed By: Professor Partha Lahiri Associate Professor Yan Li Joint Program in Survey Methodology In genome-wide association studies (GWAS), single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) is often used as a genetic marker to study gene-...

DNA Polymorphisms at Candidate Gene Loci and Their Relation with Milk Production Traits in Murrah Buffalo (Bubalus bubalis)

DNA polymorphism within diacylglycerol transferase 2 (DGAT2) / monoacyl glycerol transferases 2 (MOGAT2), leptin and butyrophilin genes were analysed using PCR-SSCP in Murrah buffalo. The single strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) analysis of amplified gene fragment in exon 5 of MOGAT2, exon 3 of leptin and intron 1 of butyrophilin gene revealed different patterns. A, B and C showed the fol...

Run of Homozygosity a Procedure to Detecting Inbreeding in Farm Animals

Inbreeding depression is a harmful phenomenon in livestock which is outcome of inbreeding. Inbreeding is consequence mating between two individuals who are more related to each other than average relatedness in population, which results in reducing in fitness of progenies and genetic variability in populations. Development of high-density genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array f...

Genome-wide survey of single-nucleotide polymorphisms reveals fine-scale population structure and signs of selection in the threatened Caribbean elkhorn coral, Acropora palmata

The advent of next-generation sequencing tools has made it possible to conduct fine-scale surveys of population differentiation and genome-wide scans for signatures of selection in non-model organisms. Such surveys are of particular importance in sharply declining coral species, since knowledge of population boundaries and signs of local adaptation can inform restoration and conservation effort...
