TL;DR: A review of the potential application of these procedures for the improvement of reproductive performance in livestock can be found in this article, where a consideration of the methods of molecular manipulation that are available at present and those that seem likely to become available, a discussion of the modifications to hormonal systems and, finally, an analysis of candidate genes for manipulation of seasonality, number of ovulations, sex ratio and prenatal survival.

TL;DR: In this paper , a cross-species comparison of transcriptomes between humans and cattle was conducted to elucidating evolutionary molecular mechanisms underpinning phenotypic variation between and within species, which can help decipher the genetic and evolutionary basis of complex traits in both species.

TL;DR: Positive genomic correlations between loci are consistent with the negative linkage disequilibrium expected for traits under directional selection, and antagonistic correlations could hamper the fixation of major genes under intensive selection.

TL;DR: Investigation of the ability to explain genetic variation resulting from a copy number polymorphism by including the CNP, either by its genotype or by a continuous derivation thereof, alone or together with a nearby single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the model showed that the linkage disequilibrium between an SNP and CNP was lower than LD between two SNPs.

TL;DR: The authors conducted epigenome-wide association studies (EWAS) of these factors and 3-year survival using Illumina Methylation EPIC blood DNA methylation profiles from 409 individuals in the Head and Neck 5000 (HN5000) study.
