Background Knowledge of the genetic structure and overall diversity of livestock species is
important to maximise the potential of genome-wide association studies and genomic …

The characteristic secondary metabolites in tea (theanine, caffeine, and catechins) are
important factors contributing to unique tea flavors. However, there has been relatively little …

We investigated diverse genomic selections using high-density single nucleotide
polymorphism data of five distinct cattle breeds. Based on allele frequency differences, we …

Animal genomics is currently undergoing dynamic development, which is driven by the
flourishing of high-throughput genome analysis methods. Recently, a large number of …

Background The extent of linkage disequilibrium (LD) between molecular markers impacts
genome-wide association studies and implementation of genomic selection. The availability …

The extent of linkage disequilibrium (LD) between genetic loci has implications for both
association studies and the accuracy of genomic prediction. To characterise the persistence …

Abstract Background Meat from Bos taurus and Bos indicus breeds are an important source
of nutrients for humans and intramuscular fat (IMF) influences its flavor, nutritional value and …

Background Genotype imputation from low-density (LD) to high-density single nucleotide
polymorphism (SNP) chips is an important step before applying genomic selection, since …

Abstract Knowledge about genetic diversity is very essential for the management and
sustainable utilization of livestock genetic resources. In this study, we presented a …

Background Nellore cattle play an important role in beef production in tropical systems and
there is great interest in determining if genomic selection can contribute to accelerate …
