Animal models with group-specific additive genetic variances: extending genetic group models
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Background The animal model is a key tool in quantitative genetics and has been used extensively to estimate fundamental parameters, such as additive genetic variance or heritability. An implicit assumption of animal ... -
Genome-wide association mapping for milk fat composition and fine mapping of a QTL for de novo synthesis of milk fatty acids on bovine chromosome 13
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Background Bovine milk is widely regarded as a nutritious food source for humans, although the effects of individual fatty acids on human health is a subject of debate. Based on the assumption that genomic selection offers ... -
Investigation of the genetic diversity of domestic Capra hircus breeds reared within an early goat domestication area in Iran
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Abstract Background Iran is an area of particular interest for investigating goat diversity. Archaeological remains indicate early goat domestication (about 10 000 years ago) in the Iranian Zagros Mountains as well as in ... -
Spatial modelling improves genetic evaluation in smallholder breeding programs
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Background Breeders and geneticists use statistical models to separate genetic and environmental effects on phenotype. A common way to separate these effects is to model a descriptor of an environment, a contemporary group ...
