The genetics of gaits in Icelandic horses goes beyond DMRT3, with RELN and STAU2 identified as two new candidate genesSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 55 - Trang 1-16 - 2023

In domesticated animals, many important traits are complex and regulated by a large number of genes, genetic interactions, and environmental influences. The ability of Icelandic horses to perform the gait ‘pace’ is largely influenced by a single mutation in the DMRT3 gene, but genetic modifiers likely exist. The aim of this study was to identify novel genetic factors that influence pacing ability ...... hiện toàn bộ
International genomic evaluation methods for dairy cattleSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 42 - Trang 1-9 - 2010

Genomic evaluations are rapidly replacing traditional evaluation systems used for dairy cattle selection. Higher reliabilities from larger genotype files promote cooperation across country borders. Genomic information can be exchanged across countries using simple conversion equations, by modifying multi-trait across-country evaluation (MACE) to account for correlated residuals originating from th...... hiện toàn bộ
Estimating the purebred–crossbred genetic correlation for uniformity of eggshell color in laying hensSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 48 - Trang 1-13 - 2016
Han A. Mulder, Jeroen Visscher, Julien Fablet
Uniformity of eggs is an important aspect for retailers because consumers prefer homogeneous products. One of these characteristics is the color of the eggshell, especially for brown eggs. Existence of a genetic component in environmental variance would enable selection for uniformity of eggshell color. Therefore, the objective of this study was to quantify the genetic variance in environmental va...... hiện toàn bộ
