Appearance traits in fish farming: Progress from classical genetics to genomics, providing insight into current and potential genetic improvement
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2014)
Appearance traits in fish, those external body characteristics that influence consumer acceptance at point of sale, have come to the forefront of commercial fish farming, as culture profitability is closely linked to ...
Genetic parameter estimation for pre- and post-weaning traits in Brahman cattle in Brazil
(Springer, 2014-10-01)
Beef cattle producers in Brazil use body weight traits as breeding program selection criteria due to their great economic importance. The objectives of this study were to evaluate different animal models, estimate genetic ...
A Bayesian approach for constructing genetic maps when markers are miscoded
(2002-07-25)
The advent of molecular markers has created opportunities for a better understanding of quantitative inheritance and for developing novel strategies for genetic improvement of agricultural species, using information on ...

Genetic analyses on bodyweight, reproductive, and carcass traits in composite beef cattle
(2017-01-01)
In beef cattle, growth, reproductive, and carcass traits have been studied for improving productivity and quality of meat products. The aim of this study was to estimate genetic parameters for birth (BW), weaning (WW) and ...
Genetic analysis of morphological and functional traits in Campolina horses using Bayesian multi-trait model
(2018-10-01)
In general, is said that functional traits have a positive genetic correlation with conformation in horses but, this hypothesis has never been investigated in the Brazilian Campolina breed. We aimed to estimate genetic ...
Multiethnic GWAS Reveals Polygenic Architecture of Earlobe Attachment
(Elsevier, 2017)
The genetic basis of earlobe attachment has been a matter of debate since the early 20th century, such that geneticists argue both for and against polygenic inheritance. Recent genetic studies have identified a few loci ...
Genetic parameters and trends of morphometric traits of GIFT tilapia under selection for weight gain
(Univ Sao Paolo, 2014-07-01)
The main factor considered in breeding programs for fish is growth, which can be assessed in terms of a gain in either weight or body measurements. This study was undertaken to evaluate the morphometric traits of GIFT ...
Estimates of genetic parameters and cluster analyses for carcass and meat quality traits in birds
(Empresa Brasil Pesq Agropec, 2017-03-01)
The objective of this work was to estimate genetic parameters for bird carcass and meat quality traits, as well as to explore the genetic patterns of the breeding values of this population using cluster analyses. Data from ...
