introduction: domestic animals are invaluable resources to study the molecular architecture of complex traits. although the mapping of quantitative trait loci (qtl) underlying economically important traits in domestic animals has achieved remarkable results in recent decades, not all of the genetic variation in the complex traits has been captured due to the low density of markers used in qtl m...

pedigree information of 3972 holstein cows and bulls, from 1961 to 2008, was used to calculate inbreeding coefficients and their effects on production traits and subclinical mastitis of dairy farm cows inazerbaijan province,iran. inbreeding was included in a linear mixed model as a class variable. data were analyzed using the proc mixed of sas by mivque method. results showed that average inbre...

the objective of the present study was to evaluate the genetic structure and diversity of 16 generations of native fowls of west azerbaijan province, iran using the pedigree data collected between 1994 and 2012. inbreeding coefficient (f), pedigree completeness index (pci), parameters of the probability of gene origin and other parameters related to the genetic structure were estimated using th...

The aim of this study was to estimate amount of inbreeding coefficient in Shal sheep and its impact on growth performance. Pedigree information and body weight at different ages (birth weight, 3 month weight, 6 month weight, 9 month weight and 12 month weight) were used from 6692 lambs from 90 rams and 1007 ewes. Data were collected on Ghazvin sheep breeding station during 1997-2013. Estimation...

A field population of Heterodera glycines was inbred by a combination of controlled male-female matings and inoculation of soybean with second-stage juveniles (J2) from single cysts. The initial and four F inbred populations were subjected to random amplified polymorphic DNA analysis and were also tested for their ability to reproduce on race differentials. The RAPD patterns of the inbred popul...

effects of lamb and parents coefficient of inbreeding (ci) on wool weight were studied using 10,868 wool records belonging to 3,244 iran black lambs (1,633 males and 1,611 females) representing 96 rams and 995 ewes collected during 1983-2006 from animal breeding station of abbas abad. year and month of shearing, ci of lamb and dam, sex and birth type had significant affect on wool weight among ...

Natural populations are becoming increasingly fragmented which is expected to affect their viability due to inbreeding depression, reduced genetic diversity and increased sensitivity to demographic and environmental stochasticity. In small and highly inbred populations, the introduction of only a few immigrants may increase vital rates significantly. However, very few studies have quantified th...
