ABSTRACT - In dairy farm animals, one the most important goal of the selection is the improvement of milk yield and composition. Several studies have demonstrated that the candidate genes of the kappa-casein (CSN3) and Beta- lactoglobulin (Beta-LG) are associated with milk yield, milk quality and health traits in dairy animals. Therefore the aim of this study was to detect polymorphisms in CSN3 and Beta-LG gene...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the level of introgression of breeds in the Canchim (CA: 62.5% Charolais?37.5% Zebu) and MA genetic group (MA: 65.6% Charolais?34.4% Zebu) cattle using genomic information on Charolais (CH), Nelore (NE), and Indubrasil (IB) breeds. The number of animals used was 395 (CA and MA), 763 (NE), 338 (CH), and 37 (IB). The Bovine50SNP BeadChip from Illumina panel was used to estima...
Whole-genome re-sequencing, alignment and annotation analyses were undertaken for 12 sires representing four important cattle breeds in Brazil: Guzerat (multi-purpose), Gyr, Girolando and Holstein (dairy production). A total of approximately 4.3 billion reads from an Illumina HiSeq 2000 sequencer generated for each animal 10.7 to 16.4-fold genome coverage. A total of 27,441,279 single nucleotide variations (SNV...
La historia existosa que la raza Girolando viene delineando al largo de su crecimiento se inicia con el registro oficial de la raza en 1996, por el Ministério da Agricultura en Brasil, viene siendo fuertemente impulsada por las iniciativas de mejoramiento genético realizadas por la Girolando y la Embrapa Ganado de Leche, tales como, la Prueba de Progenie, iniciada en 1997, y Programa de Mejoramiento Genético de...
Background: Beef cattle breeding programs in Brazil have placed greater emphasis on the genomic study of reproductive traits of males and females due to their economic importance. In this study, genome-wide associations were assessed for scrotal circumference at 210 d of age, scrotal circumference at 420 d of age, age at first calving, and age at second calving, in Canchim beef cattle. Data quality control was ...

Abstract. Studies are being conducted on the applicability of genomic data to improve the accuracy of the selection process in livestock, and genome-wide association studies (GWAS) provide valuable information to enhance the understanding on the genetics of complex traits. The aim of this study was to identify genomic regions and genes that play roles in birth weight (BW), weaning weight adjusted for 210 days o...
