The world demand for animal-based food products is anticipated to increase by 70% by
2050. Meeting this demand in a way that has a minimal impact on the environment will …

The 1000 Bull Genomes Project is a collection of whole-genome sequences from 2,703
individuals capturing a significant proportion of the world's cattle diversity. So far, 84 million …

The domestic dog serves as an excellent model to investigate the genetic basis of disease.
More than 400 heritable traits analogous to human diseases have been described in dogs …

Mendelian variants can determine both insemination success and neonatal survival and
thus influence fertility and rearing success of cattle. We present 24 deficient homozygous …

ABSTRACT A genome scan for homozygous haplotype deficiency coupled with whole-
genome sequence data analysis is a very effective method to identify embryonic lethal …

The wide use of genomic information has enabled the identification of lethal recessive
alleles that are the major genetic causes of reduced conception rates, longer calving …

Background Homozygous recessive deleterious mutations can cause embryo/fetal or
neonatal lethality, or genetic defects that affect female fertility and animal welfare. In …

Genetic disorders arise from alterations in the hereditary information encoded in DNA,
leading to potential detrimental effects on the well-being and vitality of organisms. Within the …

In this study, we explored mating allocation in Holstein using genomic information for 24,333
Holstein females born in Denmark, Finland, and Sweden. We used 2 data sets of bulls: the …

We scanned the genome of 77,815 Normande cattle with different Illumina SNP chips
(Illumina Inc., San Diego, CA) to map recessive embryonic lethal mutations using …
