The fastest way to significantly change the composition of a population is through admixture,
an evolutionary mechanism. In animal breeding history, genetic admixture has provided …

Background Increasing marker density was proposed to have potential to improve the
accuracy of genomic prediction for quantitative traits; whole-sequence data is expected to …

Measuring individual feed intake of fish in farms is complex and precludes selective
breeding for feed conversion ratio (FCR). Here, we estimated the individual FCR of 588 sea …

Hypoxia is one of the major threats to the aquaculture sector resulting in substantial
economic losses to the fish farmers. Thus, tolerance to hypoxia is of high economic interest …

Developing accurate genomic evaluations of fertility for tropical beef cattle must deal with at
least two major challenges (i) recording cow fertility traits in extensive production systems on …

Imputation has become a standard practice in modern genetic research to increase genome
coverage and improve accuracy of genomic selection and genome-wide association study …

Genomic selection (GS) poses a challenge for the prediction of the genomic estimated
breeding value (GEBV) using a low-density SNP panel. Several methods have been …

Leopard coral grouper (Plectropomus leopardus) is a marine economic fish that widely
inhabits the western Pacific. In recent years, the quantity of wild-captured leopard coral …

Background Linkage disequilibrium (LD) is a key parameter to study the history of
populations and to identify and fine map quantitative trait loci (QTL) and it has been studied …

Genomic prediction has been widely utilized to estimate genomic breeding values (GEBV s)
in farm animals. In this study, we conducted genomic prediction for 20 economically …
