[ 1 ] - Estimation of genotype imputation accuracy using reference populations with varying degrees of relationship and marker density panel

Genotype imputation from low-density to high-density (SNP) chips is an important step before applying genomic selection, because denser chips can provide more reliable genomic predictions. In the current research, the accuracy of genotype imputation from low and moderate-density panels (5K and 50K) to high-density panels in the purebred and crossbred populations was assessed. The simulated popu...

[ 2 ] - PCR-SSCP Analysis of Genetic Variation in DNMT Gene Family in Holstein Cattle

Members the DNA Methyltransferases (DNMT) gene family have been shown to play fundamental roles in regulating embryonic growth and development from embryonic fertilization to postnatal life; through regulating the establishment and/or maintenance of specific epigenetic marks. The present study was conducted to identify potential reported mutations within the exon 33 of DNMT-1, intron 4 of DNMT-...
