Before fertility traits were incorporated into selection, dairy cattle breeding primarily focused
on production traits, which resulted in an unfavorable decline in the reproductive …

Studies have demonstrated that structural variants (SV) play a substantial role in the
evolution of species and have an impact on Mendelian traits in the genome. However, unlike …

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 …

Phenotypes from the August 2015 US national genetic evaluation were used to compute
phenotypic effects of 18 recessive haplotypes in Ayrshire (n= 1), Brown Swiss (n= 5) …

Голштинскую породу крупного рогатого скота разводят по крайней мере в 161 стране,
на долю животных голштинской и голштинизированной черно-пестрой пород в общем …

Lethal recessive alleles cause pre-or postnatal death in homozygous affected individuals,
reducing fertility. Especially in small size domestic and wild populations, those alleles might …

Abstract Background Structural variants (SVs) are chromosomal segments that differ
between genomes, such as deletions, duplications, insertions, inversions and …

Cattle are an important livestock species, and mapping the genomic architecture of
agriculturally relevant traits such as disease susceptibility is a major challenge in the bovine …

Background In this paper, we simulate deleterious load in an animal breeding program, and
compare the efficiency of genome editing and selection for decreasing it. Deleterious …

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