Strategy for applying genome‐wide selection in dairy cattle

L.R. Schaeffer · 11 Jul 2006

Animals can be genotyped for thousands of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at one time, where the SNPs are located at roughly 1-cM intervals throughout the genome. For each contiguous pair of SNPs there are four possible haplotypes that could be inherited from the sire. The effects of each interval on a trait can be estimated…

Genomic selection

Michael E. Goddard, Ben J. Hayes · 1 Dec 2007

Genomic selection is a form of marker-assisted selection in which genetic markers covering the whole genome are used so that all quantitative trait loci (QTL) are in linkage disequilibrium with at least one marker. This approach has become feasible thanks to the large number of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) discovered by genome sequencing and new…

A note on ENDOG: a computer program for analysing pedigree information

Juan Pablo Gutiérrez, F. Goyache · 9 May 2005

The aim of this note is to describe the program ENDOG (v.3.0). The program handles pedigree information to conduct several demographic and genetic analyses including: (a) the individual inbreeding and average relatedness coefficients; (b) effective population size; (c) parameters characterizing the concentration of both gene and individuals origin such as the effective number of founders…

Prediction of response to marker‐assisted and genomic selection using selection index theory

Jack C. M. Dekkers · 1 Dec 2007

Selection index methods can be used for deterministic assessment of the potential benefit of including marker information in genetic improvement programmes using marker-assisted selection (MAS). By specifying estimates of breeding values derived from marker information (M-EBV) as a correlated trait with heritability equal to 1, it was demonstrated that marker information can be incorporated in…
