Improving accuracy of genomic predictions within and between dairy cattle breeds with imputed high-density single nucleotide polymorphism panels
Malena Erbe,Ben J. Hayes,Ben J. Hayes,Lakshmi K. Matukumalli,S. Goswami,Phil J. Bowman,Coralie M. Reich,B.A. Mason,Michael E. Goddard +8 more
TL;DR: This work assessed the gain in accuracy of GEBV in Jersey cattle as a result of using a combined Holstein and Jersey reference population, with either 39,745 or 624,213 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers.

Gene expression and RNA splicing explain large proportions of the heritability for complex traits in cattle
Ruidong Xiang,Lingzhao Fang,Shuli Liu,Iona M. MacLeod,Zhi-Qun Liu,E.J. Breen,Yahui Gao,George E. Liu,Albert Tenesa,B.A. Mason,Amanda J. Chamberlain,Naomi R. Wray,Michael E. Goddard +12 more
TL;DR: Across traits, cis and trans eQTL and sQTL detected from 16 tissues jointly explain ~70% (SE=0.5%) of heritability, 44% more than expected from the same number of random variants, where trans e/sQTL contribute 24% (14% morethan expected).

Genetic score omics regression and multi-trait meta-analysis detect widespread cis-regulatory effects shaping bovine complex traits
Ruidong Xiang,Lingzhao Fang,Shuli Liu,George E. Liu,Albert Tenesa,Yahui Gao,B.A. Mason,Amanda J. Chamberlain,Michael E. Goddard +8 more
TL;DR: Genetic Score Omics Regression (GSOR) correlating observed gene expression with genetically predicted phenotype, i.e., genetic score, provides a powerful association test between cis-effects on gene expression and the trait.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
537. Large-scale ‘omics fine-mapping identifies expression quantitative trait loci significantly affecting cattle phenotypes
Ruidong Xiang,M.E. Goddard,Claire P. Prowse-Wilkins,Coralie M. Reich,B.A. Mason,Josie B. Garner,Leah C. Marett,Iona M. MacLeod,Amanda J. Chamberlain +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors mapped and compared eQTL from blood and milk cells in ~400 dairy cattle with complex trait genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and Bayesian mixture models (BayesR) in ~103k cows.
