Inbreeding depression across the genome of Dutch Holstein Friesian dairy cattle

Among oth- ers, it can be used to control diversity at specific regions [ 70 ], select against multiple recessive disorders at the same time [ 71 ], estimate dominance effects for

Genotypic covariance matrices and their inverses for models allowing dominance and inbreeding.. Sp Smith,

A 1% increase in inbreeding in the population with pedi- gree information only, or in the population with GRM_F resulted in a reduction in milk production traits of around 0.3% of

No clear relationship was found between the estimates of dominance and additive variance; larger negative estimates of the inbreeding depression were associated with

The aims of this study were to (1) present a modification of a previously developed model with addi- tive, dominance and inbreeding depression genetic effects for analysis of data

Even with much larger data sets and a different training algorithm, we also found that increasing the number of neurons up to 6 neurons yielded slightly better predictions

15 Number of significant (at the genome‑wise false discovery rate of 5%) SNPs that have a pleiotropic effect on calving performance and body conformation traits using the

Results suggest that accounting for dominance in the models of these traits could lead to an increased GEBV accuracy and that using crossbred information can be beneficial to
