Estimating the heritability of nitrogen and carbon isotopes in the tail hair of beef cattle
CONCLUSIONS: The findings of this study show, for the first time, that the natural abundances of both nitrogen and carbon isotopes in the tail hair in cattle may be moderately heritable. With further research and validation, tail hair isotopes can become a practical tool for the large-scale selection of more efficient cattle.PMID:38172694 | PMC:PMC10763070 | DOI:10.1186/s12711-023-00870-7 (Source: Genet Sel Evol)

Phenotype transition from wild mouflon to domestic sheep
Genet Sel Evol. 2024 Jan 2;56(1):1. doi: 10.1186/s12711-023-00871-6.ABSTRACTThe domestication of animals started around 12,000 years ago in the Near East region. This "endless process" is characterized by the gradual accumulation of changes that progressively marked the genetic, phenotypic and physiological differences between wild and domesticated species. The main distinctive phenotypic characteristics are not all directly attributable to the human-mediated selection of more productive traits. In the last decades, two main hypotheses have been proposed to clarify the emergence of such a set of phenotypic traits across a ...

The demographic history and adaptation of Canarian goat breeds to environmental conditions through the use of genome-wide SNP data
CONCLUSIONS: This genome-wide analysis sheds new light on the evolutionary history of the four breeds that inhabit the Canary Islands. Our findings suggest a North African origin of the Canarian goats. In addition, within the genomic regions highlighted by the ROH and FST approaches, several genes related to body size and heat tolerance were identified.PMID:38172652 | PMC:PMC10763158 | DOI:10.1186/s12711-023-00869-0 (Source: Genet Sel Evol)

Longitudinal genomic analyses of automatically-recorded vaginal temperature in lactating sows under heat stress conditions based on random regression models
CONCLUSIONS: TV is a heritable trait with substantial additive genetic variation and represents a promising indicator trait to select pigs for improved heat tolerance. Moderate GxE for TV exist, indicating potential re-ranking of selection candidates across EG. TV is a highly polygenic trait regulated by a complex interplay of physiological, cellular and behavioral mechanisms.PMID:38129768 | PMC:PMC10734178 | DOI:10.1186/s12711-023-00868-1 (Source: Genet Sel Evol)
