A survey of genetic diversity cattle suggests two domestication events in Asia and selection by husbandry.
The genomics revolution has spurred the undertaking of HapMap studies numerous species, allowing for population to increase understanding how selection created genetic differences between subspecies populations. objectives this study were (1) develop an approach detect signatures in subsets phenotypically similar breeds livestock by comparing single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) diversity subset and a larger population, (2) verify method selected simply inherited traits, (3) apply dairy...
Sufficient genetic variation in livestock populations is necessary both for adaptation to future changes climate and consumer demand, continual improvement of economically important traits. Unfortunately, the current trend reduced variation, within across breeds. The latter occurs primarily through loss small, local Inferior production a key driver small breeds, as they are replaced by high-output international transboundary Selection improve productivity breeds therefore critical their long...

Scores for clinical lameness from two separate studies were combined, and genetic parameters estimated based on linear threshold models. Cows 24 herds in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Virginia. To evaluate lameness, cows observed walking assigned a score between 0 4 (where = no observable problems to inability walk). Data included 1624 records 1342 cows. The models fixed effects of herd visit, parity, stage lactation. Random additive genetics, permanent environment account repeated records,...
Summary A genome‐wide scan for quantitative trait loci (QTL) affecting gastrointestinal nematode resistance in sheep was completed using a double backcross population derived from Red Maasai and Dorper ewes bred to F 1 rams. This design provided an opportunity map potentially unique genetic variation associated with parasite‐tolerant breed like Maasai, developed survive East African grazing conditions. Parasite indicator phenotypes (blood packed cell volume – PCV faecal egg count FEC) were...
