Genomic insight into the influence of selection, crossbreeding, and geography on population structure in poultry
In poultry, the population structure of local breeds is usually complex mainly due to unrecorded breeding. Local chicken breeds offer an interesting proxy to understand the complexity of population structure i... (Source: Genetics Selection Evolution)

A comparison of marker-based estimators of inbreeding and inbreeding depression
The availability of genome-wide marker data allows estimation of inbreeding coefficients (F, the probability of identity-by-descent, IBD) and, in turn, estimation of the rate of inbreeding depression ( ΔID). We in... (Source: Genetics Selection Evolution)

Disentangling the causal relationship between rabbit growth and cecal microbiota through structural equation models
The effect of the cecal microbiome on growth of rabbits that were fed under different regimes has been studied previously. However, the term “effect” carries a causal meaning that can be confounded because of ... (Source: Genetics Selection Evolution)
