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 …

Since its introduction in 2001, genomic selection (GS) has progressed rapidly. As a research
and application hot topic, GS has led to a revolution in the field of animal and plant breeding …

By uniformly analyzing 723 RNA-seq data from 91 tissues and cell types, we built a
comprehensive gene atlas and studied tissue specificity of genes in cattle. We demonstrated …

Genomic selection was adopted very quickly in the 10 yr after first implementation, and
breeders continue to find new uses for genomic testing. Breeding values with higher …

Many genome variants shaping mammalian phenotype are hypothesized to regulate gene
transcription and/or to be under selection. However, most of the evidence to support this …

Background Characterization of the molecular mechanisms underlying hair follicle
development is of paramount importance in the genetic improvement of wool-related traits in …

Background For genomic selection in populations with a small reference population,
combining populations of the same breed or populations of related breeds is an effective …

Background In this study, we assessed the accuracy of genomic prediction for carcass
weight (CWT), marbling score (MS), eye muscle area (EMA) and back fat thickness (BFT) in …

Background Fusion of DNA methyltransferase domains to the nuclease-deficient clustered
regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR) associated protein 9 (dCas9) has …

Background The functional annotation of genomes, including chromatin accessibility and
modifications, is important for understanding and effectively utilizing the increased amount of …
