Oliveira, H. R.; Silva, F. F.; Siqueira, O. H.G.B.D.; Souza, N. O.; Junqueira, V. S.; Resende, M. D.V.; Borquis, R. R.A. [UNESP]; Rodrigues, M. T.Made available in DSpace on 2022-04-28T19:03:53Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2016-05-01; Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de Minas Gerais (FAPEMIG); We proposed multiple-trait random regression models (MTRRM) combining different functions to describe milk yield (MY) and fat (FP) and protein (PP) percentage in dairy goat genetic evaluation by using Bayesian inference. A total of 3,856...
Comparative evaluation of the efficacy of phythotherapeutics and chemical produ...
Silva, F. F.; Soares, M. C. S. C.; Alves, L. C.; Lima, M. M.; Silva, L. V. A.; Faustino, M. A. G.; Silva Junior, F. F.Made available in DSpace on 2020-12-10T16:30:50Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2008-07-01; The aim of this research was to evaluate the efficacy of plant extracts and chemical products for the control of Boophilus microplus. Three commercial products for the control of Boophilus microplus were in vitro evaluated, chemical compounds of cypermethrin + DDVP and organophosphate as recomended by t...
Transgenerational epigenetic variance for body weight in meat quails
Paiva, J. T.; Resende, M. D. V. de; Resende, R. T.; Oliveira, H. R. de; Silva, H. T.; Caetano, G. C.; Lopes, P. S.; Silva, F. F.We aimed to estimate transgenerational epigenetic variance for body weight using genealogical and phenotypic information in meat quails. Animals were individually weighted from 1 week after hatching, with weight records at 7, 14, 21, 28, 35 and 42 days of age (BW7, BW14, BW21, BW28, BW35 and BW42, respectively). Single-trait genetic analyses were performed using mixed models with random epigenetic effects. Vari...
Application of single-step genomic evaluation using multiple-trait random regre...
Oliveira, H. R.; Lourenco, D. A. L.; Masuda, Y.; Misztal, I.; Tsuruta, S.; Jamrozik, J.; Brito, L. F.; Silva, F. F.; Schenkel, F. S.Test-day traits are important for genetic evaluation in dairy cattle and are better modeled by multiple-trait random regression models (RRM). The reliability and bias of genomic estimated breeding values (GEBV) predicted using multiple-trait RRM via single-step genomic best linear unbiased prediction (ssGBLUP) were investigated in the 3 major dairy cattle breeds in Canada (i.e., Ayrshire, Holstein, and Jersey)....
Identification and expression levels of pig miRNAs in skeletal muscle
Verardo, L. L.; Nascimento, C. S.; Silva, F. F.; Gasparino, E.; Toriyama, E.; Barbosa, A. R.; Costa, K. A.; Lopes, P. S.; Guimarães, S. E. F.MicroRNAs are a class of naturally occurring non-coding RNAs. Typically they are $22 nucleotides long and suppress translation of their targets genes. Several laboratories have attempted to identify miRNAs from pig muscle and the bioinformatics strategies using ESTs have proved to be successful for this aim. In this study we report an in silico identification of ncRNA in pig EST libraries focusing on novel pig ...
Assessing the expected response to genomic selection of individuals and familie...
Resende, R. T.; Resende, M. D. V.; Silva, F. F.; Azevedo, C. F.; Takahashi, E. K.; Silva- Junior, O. B.; Grattapaglia, D.We report a genomic selection (GS) study of growth and wood quality traits in an outbred F2 hybrid Eucalyptus population (n=768) using high-density single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping. Going beyond previous reports in forest trees, models were developed for different selection targets, namely, families, individuals within families and individuals across the entire population using a genomic model in...
Analyses of reaction norms reveal new chromosome regions associated with tick r...
Mota, R. R.; Silva, F. F.; Lopes, P. S.; Tempelman, R. J.; Sollero, B. P.; Aguilar, I.; Cardoso, F. F.Despite single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) availability and frequent cost reduction has allowed genome-wide association studies even in complex traits as tick resistance, the use of this information source in SNP by environment interaction context is unknown for many economically important traits in cattle. We aimed at identifying putative genomic regions explaining differences in tick resistance in Hereford ...
Genomic prediction of lactation curves for milk, fat, protein, and somatic cell...
Oliveira, H. R.; Silva, F. F.; Brito, L. F.; Lourenco, D. A. L.; Jamrozik, J.; Schenkel, F. S.Application of random regression models (RRM) in a 2-step genomic prediction might be a feasible way to select young animals based on the complete pattern of the lactation curve. In this context, the prediction reliability and bias of genomic estimated breeding value (GEBV) for milk, fat, and protein yields and somatic cell score over days in milk (DIM) using a 2-step genomic approach were investigated. In addi...
Bayesian GWAS and network analysis revealed new candidate genes for number of t...
Verardo, L. L.; Silva, F. F.; Varona, L.; Resende, M. D. V.; Bastiaansen, J. W. M.; Lopes, P. S.; Guimarães, S. E. F.The genetic improvement of reproductive traits such as the number of teats is essential to the success of the pig industry. As opposite to most SNP association studies that consider continuous phenotypes under Gaussian assumptions, this trait is characterized as a discrete variable, which could potentially follow other distributions, such as the Poisson. Therefore, in order to access the complexity of a countin...
Linkage disequilibrium and haplotype block structure in six commercial pig lines
Veroneze, R.; Lopes, P. S.; Guimarães, S. E. F.; Silva, F. F.; Lopes, M. S.; Harlizius, B.; Knol, E. F.Linkage disequilibrium (LD) across the genome is critical information for association studies and genomic selection because it determines the number of SNP that should be used for a successful association analysis and genomic selection. Linkage disequilibrium also influences the accuracy of genomic breeding values. Some studies have demonstrated that SNP in strong LD are organized into discrete blocks of haplot...
