Genetic progress will increase when breeders examine genotypes in addition to pedigrees
and phenotypes. Genotypes for 38,416 markers and August 2003 genetic evaluations for …

Genomic selection is implemented in French Holstein, Montbéliarde, and Normande breeds
(70%, 16% and 12% of French dairy cows). A characteristic of the model for genomic …

Efficient methods for processing genomic data were developed to increase reliability of
estimated breeding values and to estimate thousands of marker effects simultaneously …

Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL) is a topic of major agricultural significance for efficient livestock
production. This book covers various statistical methods that have been used or proposed …

For the most part, molecular markers and detection of quantitative trait loci have been
developed for forest tree species in view to performing marker-assisted selection (MAS) …

A QTL detection experiment was performed in French dairy cattle to search for QTL related
to male fertility. Ten families, involving a total of 515 bulls, were phenotyped for ejaculated …

Background Molecular estimates of breeding value are expected to increase selection
response due to improvements in the accuracy of selection and a reduction in generation …

Accuracy of prediction of yet-to-be observed phenotypes for food conversion rate (FCR) in
broilers was studied in a genome-assisted selection context. Data consisted of FCR …

The TORC2 gene is responsible for nutrient metabolism, gluconeogenesis, myogenesis and
adipogenesis through the PI3K-Akt, AMPK, glucagon and insulin resistance signaling …

Different methods for genomic evaluation were compared for accuracy and feasibility of
evaluation using phenotypic, pedigree, and genomic information for a trait influenced by a …
