[HTML][HTML] On the concepts and measures of diversity in the genomics era
Diversity serves as the foundation for breeding and evolution. In the science of genomics,
the investigation of genetic variation has long been a prominent subject. Researchers now …

Inbreeding and runs of homozygosity before and after genomic selection in North American Holstein cattle
Background While autozygosity as a consequence of selection is well understood, there is
limited information on the ability of different methods to measure true inbreeding. In the …

Genomic inbreeding estimation in small populations: evaluation of runs of homozygosity in three local dairy cattle breeds
In the local breeds with small population size, one of the most important problems is the
increase of inbreeding coefficient (F). High levels of inbreeding lead to reduced genetic …

Genome-wide scan for runs of homozygosity identifies potential candidate genes associated with local adaptation in Valle del Belice sheep
Background Because very large numbers of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are
now available throughout the genome, they are particularly suitable for the detection of …

Genome-wide patterns of homozygosity provide clues about the population history and adaptation of goats
Background Patterns of homozygosity can be influenced by several factors, such as
demography, recombination, and selection. Using the goat SNP50 BeadChip, we genotyped …

Characterization of runs of homozygosity, heterozygosity-enriched regions, and population structure in cattle populations selected for different breeding goals
Background A decline in the level of genetic diversity in livestock can result in reduced
response to selection, greater incidence of genetic defects, and inbreeding depression. In …

Variants at the ASIP locus contribute to coat color darkening in Nellore cattle
BB Trigo, ATH Utsunomiya, AAAD Fortunato… - Genetics Selection …, 2021 - Springer
Abstract Background Nellore cattle (Bos indicus) are well-known for their adaptation to warm
and humid environments. Hair length and coat color may impact heat tolerance. The Nellore …
