Estimation of genetic parameters and genetic changes for growth characteristics of Santa Ines sheep
, “Estimation of genetic parameters and genetic changes for growth characteristics of Santa Ines sheep”, vol. 15, p. -, 2016.
Studying genetic parameters and genetic changes in Santa Ines sheep is important, because it is the commonest breed in Brazil. This study obtained genetic data from 37,735 pedigree records of lambs over 12 years (2003-2014) from 33 flocks in 10 Brazilian States; 11,851 records of performance were available. (Co)variance components, genetic parameters and breeding values estimates were obtained by derivative-free restricted maximum likelihood in a univariate analysis that included maternal additive genetic and maternal permanent environmental effects.
Genome-wide association study of growth traits in the Jinghai Yellow chicken
, “Genome-wide association study of growth traits in the Jinghai Yellow chicken”, vol. 14, pp. 15331-15338, 2015.
Growth is one of the most economically important traits in the poultry industry. In this study, we identified single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and candidate genes associated with growth traits of the Jinghai Yellow chicken. Genome-wide association studies were conducted using the Illumina 60 K SNP Chicken array to genotype 400 Jinghai Yellow chickens. For each bird, the body weights at hatching and at 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 14, and 16 weeks were recorded. The SNPs that were significantly associated with the growth traits were identified using the general linear regression model.
