On the extent of linkage disequilibrium in the genome of farm animals

S Qanbari - Frontiers in genetics, 2020 - frontiersin.org
Given the importance of linkage disequilibrium (LD) in gene mapping and evolutionary
inferences, I characterize in this review the pattern of LD and discuss the influence of human …

Whole‐genome patterns of linkage disequilibrium across flycatcher populations clarify the causes and consequences of fine‐scale recombination rate variation in …

T Kawakami, CF Mugal, A Suh, A Nater… - Molecular …, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
Recombination rate is heterogeneous across the genome of various species and so are
genetic diversity and differentiation as a consequence of linked selection. However, we still …

Predicting the accuracy of genomic predictions

JCM Dekkers, H Su, J Cheng - Genetics Selection Evolution, 2021 - Springer
Background Mathematical models are needed for the design of breeding programs using
genomic prediction. While deterministic models for selection on pedigree-based estimates of …

Molecular mechanisms for environmentally induced and evolutionarily rapid redistribution (plasticity) of meiotic recombination

RU Protacio, TO Mukiza, MK Davidson, WP Wahls - Genetics, 2022 - academic.oup.com
It has long been known (circa 1917) that environmental conditions, as well as speciation,
can affect dramatically the frequency distribution of Spo11/Rec12-dependent meiotic …

Validation of genomic predictions for body weight in broilers using crossbred information and considering breed-of-origin of alleles

P Duenk, MPL Calus, YCJ Wientjes, VP Breen… - Genetics Selection …, 2019 - Springer
Background Pig and poultry breeding programs aim at improving crossbred (CB)
performance. Selection response may be suboptimal if only purebred (PB) performance is …

The feather pattern autosomal barring in chicken is strongly associated with segregation at the MC1R locus

D Schwochow, S Bornelöv, T Jiang, J Li… - Pigment cell & …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Color patterns within individual feathers are common in birds but little is known about the
genetic mechanisms causing such patterns. Here, we investigate the genetic basis for …

Linkage disequilibrium, effective population size and genomic inbreeding rates in American mink using genotyping-by-sequencing data

K Karimi, AH Farid, M Sargolzaei, S Myles… - Frontiers in …, 2020 - frontiersin.org

GA Semenov, EA Basheva, PM Borodin… - Biological Journal of …, 2018 - academic.oup.com
Conspicuous phenotypic differences sometimes coexist with shallow genome-wide
divergence between taxa. Along with genomically localized selection and extensive gene …

Analysis of the progeny of sibling matings reveals regulatory variation impacting the transcriptome of immune cells in commercial chickens

L Freem, KM Summers, AA Gheyas, A Psifidi… - Frontiers in …, 2019 - frontiersin.org
