Beyond studying genetic diversity: how can pedigree and genomic data help us assigning individuals to breeds?

Thirty-six individuals belonging to the long- horn taurine NDA breed, two shorthorn taurine Lagune (LAG) and Baoulé (BAO) breeds, the Zebu Fulani (ZFU) and the Borgou (BOR), an

The following abbreviations are used: JER-Jersey, GNS: Guernsey, LMS: Limousin, NOR: Normande, KC: Kerry cattle, RAN: Red Angus, GA: Galloway, HL: Scot- tish Highland cattle,

Population structures were analysed in terms of census, generation interval, effective number of herds, pedigree completeness level, inbreeding coefficient, average

Here, we apply a maximum-utility-strategy to prioritize 14 traditional Ethiopian sheep breeds based on their threat status, contributions to farmer livelihoods (current breed

The results (i) demonstrated the usefulness of the stochastic method and (ii) of the core set genetic diversity measures for the marker assisted estimation of present and

The genetic diversity within and between two maternal breeds of pigs (LA—Landrace and LW—Large White) used in a commercial breeding nucleus was analyzed using pedigree and

Moreover, a significant and largely antigen concentration-dependent PBMC proliferation was observed in infested animals compared to uninfested controls, with proliferation of all

The MEK/core set method implicitly assumes a base population in which all individuals are unrelated and therefore Div (Base) = 1.00. This suggests that the solutions to the
