Because a growing proportion of the beef output in many countries originates from dairy
herds, the most critical decisions about the genetic merit of most carcasses harvested are …

Background For genomic selection in populations with a small reference population,
combining populations of the same breed or populations of related breeds is an effective …

Background Early simulations indicated that whole-genome sequence data (WGS) could
improve the accuracy of genomic predictions within and across breeds. However, empirical …

Background Whole-genome sequence (WGS) data could contain information on genetic
variants at or in high linkage disequilibrium with causative mutations that underlie the …

Significance testing for genome‐wide association study (GWAS) with increasing SNP
density up to whole‐genome sequence data (WGS) is not straightforward, because of strong …

Whole-genome sequence (WGS) data are increasingly being applied into genomic
predictions, offering a higher predictive ability by including causal mutations or single …

Background Although the accumulation of whole-genome sequencing (WGS) data has
accelerated the identification of mutations underlying complex traits, its impact on the …

Cardiomyopathy syndrome (CMS) caused by piscine myocarditis virus is a major disease
affecting the Norwegian Atlantic salmon industry. Three different populations of Atlantic …

Background In tropically-adapted beef heifers, application of genomic prediction for age at
puberty has been limited due to low prediction accuracies. Our aim was to investigate novel …

Average effects of alleles can show considerable differences between populations. The
magnitude of these differences can be measured by the additive genetic correlation …
