Summary All animal breeding programs are based on the principles of quantitative genetics. Advanced animal breeding programs can be divided into two groups: within-breed selection and programs based on crossbreeding among different breeds. Breeding programs based on crossbreeding are the norms for beef ...
Rapid progress in farm animal breeding has been made in the last few decades. Advanced technologies for genomic analysis in molecular genetics have led to the identification of genes or markers associated with genes that affect economic traits. Molecular markers, large-insert libraries and RH panels...

The set of journals have been ranked according to their SJR and divided into four equal groups, four quartiles. Q1 (green) comprises the quarter of the journals with the highest values, Q2 (yellow) the second highest values, Q3 (orange) the third highest values and Q4 (red) the lowest ...
Paragon is a Cumbria based practice providing vet-led farm animal breeding services, including specialist cattle flushing, embryo transfer and IVF services
and the use of abundant genetic diversity without the effect of a population structure. The idea of using multi-parent populations in QTL analysis is quite advanced in animal genetics. Heterogeneous stocks in the mouse and inDrosophilahave been created by means of repeated crosses between eight par...
genetics. For instance, while host genetics is associated with body weight only at early time points (2 months), additional QTL are observed at 2 months as well as at later time points (4 and 6 months) when considering diet as an interacting variable (Supplementary Data1). Moreover, gene...
[51]. NHP genetics will aid in comparisons between NHP and human genomes, and finding and breeding natural variants will lead to the generation of specific disease models. NHP are outbred, so the impact of genetic background on specific genes or pathways can be measured in this system. ...
The genetics of yield and tolerance to abiotic stress such as drought have been successfully investigated in a MAGIC rice population18. Investigating the genetics of drought tolerance on a MAGIC cowpea population could be also achieved. The first MAGIC cowpea population was developed from the ...
Translational studies including animal models allow to manipulate the father's age while controlling for mother's age and to gain cell tissue from brain structures [37]. Given these unanswered questions, our present study had the following aims: First, the known link between APA and ASD as ...
