Genetic diversity in farm animals – a review

Linn F. Groeneveld, Johannes A. Lenstra, H. Eding et al. · 16 Apr 2010

Domestication of livestock species and a long history of migrations, selection and adaptation have created an enormous variety of breeds. Conservation of these genetic resources relies on demographic characterization, recording of production environments and effective data management. In addition, molecular genetic studies allow a comparison of genetic diversity within and across breeds and a reconstruction…

Comparisons of three probability formulae for parentage exclusion

Andrew Jamieson, St C. S. Taylor · 1 Dec 1997

Three general formulae calibrate the average capability of marker systems to dispute falsely reported pedigree records in uniparous species. The most familiar exclusion formula applies to paternity, although the same formula applies equally to maternity. Another formula faults the relationship of a single offspring with its putative parent; for example, where the genotype of the…

Runs of homozygosity: current knowledge and applications in livestock

Elisa Peripolli, Danísio Prado Munari, Marcos Vinícius Gualberto Barbosa da Silva et al. · 1 Dec 2016

Summary This review presents a broader approach to the implementation and study of runs of homozygosity ( ROH ) in animal populations, focusing on identifying and characterizing ROH and their practical implications. ROH are continuous homozygous segments that are common in individuals and populations. The ability of these homozygous segments to give insight into a…

Climate change and the characterization, breeding and conservation of animal genetic resources

Irene Hoffmann · 16 Apr 2010

Livestock production both contributes to and is affected by climate change. In addition to the physiological effects of higher temperatures on individual animals, the consequences of climate change are likely to include increased risk that geographically restricted rare breed populations will be badly affected by disturbances. Indirect effects may be felt via ecosystem changes that…

DNA fingerprints of dogs and cats

A.J. Jeffreys, D. B. Morton · 1 Feb 1987

Human minisatellite probes consisting of tandem repeats of the 'core' sequence, a putative recombination signal in human DNA, cross-hybridize to multiple polymorphic fragments in dog and cat DNA to produce individual-specific DNA 'fingerprints'. Pedigree analysis shows that most of the DNA fragments detected in an individual are heterozygous, and that these fragments are derived from…

Animal Genetics template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Animal Genetics format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Animal Genetics template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Wiley format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Animal Genetics use?
Animal Genetics uses Author–year (Chicago) references, shown as author–year markers such as (Smith, 2023) in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: Smith, Ada, Ben Jones, and Cara Lee. 2023. "A Representative Article Title." Animal Genetics 12 (3): 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Animal Genetics?
No. DocuGuru generates the USG LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Wiley-ready Animal Genetics document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Animal Genetics template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Animal Genetics format with correct headings, figures, tables, and author–year citations.
Who publishes Animal Genetics?
Animal Genetics is a multidisciplinary journal published by Wiley. DocuGuru's Animal Genetics template matches Wiley's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready Animal Genetics PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Animal Genetics template (the USG class) that is ready to submit to Wiley, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Animal Genetics template cost?
