Genomic selection (GS) is now practiced successfully across many species. However, many
questions remain, such as long-term effects, estimations of genomic parameters, robustness …

The difference in the breeding programs and population history may have diversely shaped
the genomes of Korean native cattle breeds. In the absence of phenotypic data …

Background Economically important growth and meat quality traits in pigs are controlled by
cascading molecular events occurring during development and continuing throughout the …

Meat quality traits have an increasing importance in the pig industry because of their strong
impact on consumer acceptance. Herewith, we have combined phenotypic and microarray …

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have been widely used in the genetic dissection
of complex traits. As more genomic data is being generated within different commercial or …

Meat quality is essential for consumer acceptance, it ultimately impacts pork production
profitability and it is subject to genetic control. The objective of this study was to map …

Acyl-CoA synthetase family member 3 (ACSF3) carries out the first step of mitochondrial fatty
acid synthesis II, which is the linkage of malonate and, to a lesser extent, methylmalonate …

Increasing evidence indicates that microRNAs (miRNAs) are contributing factors to
neurodegeneration. Alterations in miRNA signatures have been reported in several …

In livestock, genome‐wide association studies (GWAS) are usually conducted in a single
population (single‐GWAS) with limited sample size and detection power. To enhance the …

Background One of the most commonly used quality measurements of pork is pH measured
24 h after slaughter. The most probable mode of inheritance for this trait is oligogenic with …
