No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2021-11-01; This study aimed to identify structural variations in the form of runs of homozygosity (ROH) and copy number variants (CNVs) in the genome of the Brazilian Senepol cattle and to better explore the potential biological functions of the genes located within such regions. A total of 140 animals were genoty...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2013-12-01; The use of markers distributed all long the genome may increase the accuracy of the predicted additive genetic value of young animals that are candidates to be selected as reproducers. In commercial herds, due to the cost of genotyping, only some animals are genotyped and procedures, divided in two or t...
