Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L. [Lam.]) ranks among the top six most important food crops in world. It is widely grown throughout world with high and stable yield, strong adaptability, rich nutrient content, multiple uses. However, little known about molecular biology of this non-model organism due to lack genomic resources. Hence, studies based on high-throughput sequencing technologies are needed get a comprehensive integrated resource better understanding gene expression patterns...

Improved performance of crossbred animals is partly due to heterosis. One the major genetic bases heterosis dominance, but it seldom used in pedigree-based evaluation livestock. Recently, a trivariate genomic best linear unbiased prediction (GBLUP) model including dominance was developed, which can distinguish purebreds from explicitly. The objectives this study were: (1) methodological, show that inclusion marker-based inbreeding accounts for directional and depression purebred animals,...

Heat shock factors (Hsfs) are important regulators of stress-response in plants. However, our understanding Hsf genes and their responses to temperature stresses two Pooideae cool-season grasses, Festuca arundinacea Lolium perenne, is limited. Here we conducted comparative transcriptome analyses plant leaves exposed heat or cold stress for 10 h. Approximately, 30% 25% the expressed species showed significant changes under respectively, including subsets Hsfs target genes. We uncovered 74 F....

Crossbreding is predominant and intensively used in commercial meat production systems, especially poultry swine. Genomic evaluation has been successfully applied for breeding within purebreds but also offers opportunities of selecting crossbred performance by combining information from with crossbreds. However, it generally requires that all relevant animals are genotyped, which costly presently does not seem to be feasible practice. Recently, a novel single-step BLUP method genomic both...

A single-step genomic BLUP method (ssGBLUP) has been successfully developed and applied for purebred crossbred performance in pigs. However, it requires phasing the genotypes inferring breed origin of alleles animals, which is somewhat inconvenient. Recently, a new concept metafounders that considers relationship within across base populations was developed. With this metafounders, regular methods to build invert pedigree relationships matrix can be used with only minor modifications and,...

Abstract Dominance genetic effects are rarely included in pedigree-based evaluation. With the availability of single nucleotide polymorphism markers and development genomic evaluation, estimates dominance have become feasible using best linear unbiased prediction (GBLUP). Usually, studies involving additive ignore possible relationships between them. It has been often suggested that magnitude functional at quantitative trait loci related, but there is no existing GBLUP-like approach...

Genomic prediction, which is based on solving linear mixed-model (LMM) equations, the most popular method for predicting breeding values or phenotypic performance economic traits in livestock. With need to further improve of genomic nonlinear methods have been considered as an alternative and promising approach. The excellent ability predict phenotypes animal husbandry has demonstrated by machine learning (ML) approaches, rapidly developed. To investigate feasibility reliability implementing...

Crossbreeding is widely used in pig production because of the benefits heterosis effects and breed complementarity. Commonly, sire lines are bred for traits such as feed efficiency, growth meat content, whereas maternal also reproduction longevity traits, resulting three-way crossbred pigs meat. The most important genetic basis dominance effects, e.g. removal inbreeding depression. aims this study were to (1) present a modification previously developed model with additive, depression...

Abstract Background Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) are an effective way to explore genotype–phenotype associations in humans, animals, and plants. Various GWAS methods have been developed based on different genetic or statistical assumptions. However, no single method is optimal for all traits and, many traits, the putative nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that detected by do not entirely overlap due diversity of architecture complex traits. Therefore, multi-tool-based strategies...

Genotype imputation is commonly used as an initial step in genomic selection since the accuracy of does not decline if accurately imputed genotypes are instead actual but for a lower cost. Performance has rarely been investigated crossbred animals and, particular, pigs. The extent and pattern linkage disequilibrium differ versus purebred animals, which may impact performance imputation. In this study, first we compared different scenarios from 5 K to 8 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)...
