Genetic parameters for automatically-measured vaginal temperature, respiration efficiency, and other thermotolerance indicators measured on lactating sows under heat stress conditions
CONCLUSIONS: A comprehensive landscape of heritabilities and genetic correlations for various thermotolerance indicators in lactating sows were estimated. All traits evaluated are under genetic control and heritable, with different magnitudes, indicating that genetic progress is possible for all of them. The genetic correlation estimates provide evidence for the complex relationships between these traits and confirm the importance of a sub-index of thermotolerance traits to improve heat tolerance in pigs.PMID:37730542 | PMC:PMC10510300 | DOI:10.1186/s12711-023-00842-x (Source: Genet Sel Evol)

Genetic analysis of geometric morphometric 3D visuals of French jumping horses
CONCLUSIONS: The main application of 3D morphometric analysis is the ability to define the estimated breeding value (EBV) of a sire based on the shape of its potential progeny, which is easier for breeders to visualize in a single synthetic image than a full description based on linear profiling. However, the acceptance of these new phenotypes by breeders and the complex nature of summarized shapes may be challenging. Due to the low genetic correlations of the summarized shapes with jumping performance, the methodology did not allow indirect performance selection criteria to be defined.PMID:37723416 | PMC:PMC10506242 | DOI...

Potential selection for lipid kinase activity and spermatogenesis in Henan native pig breeds and growth shaping by introgression of European genes
CONCLUSIONS: Admixture of North China, East China and foreign pigs contributed to high genetic diversity of Henan local pigs. Ontology terms associated with lipid kinase activity and spermatogenesis and growth shaping by introgression of European genes in Henan pigs were identified through selective sweep analyses.PMID:37723431 | PMC:PMC10506266 | DOI:10.1186/s12711-023-00841-y (Source: Genet Sel Evol)

Analysis of polygenic selection in purebred and crossbred pig genomes using generation proxy selection mapping
CONCLUSIONS: This work confirms the efficacy and the negligible error rates of the GPSM method in detecting selected loci in commercial pig populations. Our results suggest shared selection objectives and genetic architectures across swine populations. The identified polygenic selection highlights loci that are important to swine production.PMID:37710159 | PMC:PMC10500877 | DOI:10.1186/s12711-023-00836-9 (Source: Genet Sel Evol)
