Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) is the second most important farmed fish in the world and a sustainable source of protein for human consumption. Several genetic improvement programs have been established for this ...

Background: F2 resource populations have been used extensively to map QTL segregating between pig breeds. A limitation associated with the use of these resource populations for fine mapping of QTL is the reduced number of ...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of imputation in a Gyr population using two medium- density panels (Bos taurus - Bos indicus) and to test whether the inclusion of the Nellore breed increases the imputation ...

A considerable number of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are required to elucidate genotype-phenotype associations and determine the molecular basis of important traits. In this work, we carried out de novo SNP ...

SNP analysis is of paramount importance in forensic genetics. The development of new technologies in next-generation sequencing allowed processing a large number of markers in various samples simultaneously. Although SNPs ...

Through imputation of genotypes, genome-wide association study (GWAS) and genomic prediction (GP) using whole-genome sequencing (WGS) data are cost-efficient and feasible in aquaculture breeding schemes. The objective ...
