Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of the lasso and the elastic net in genome-wide association studies.
TL;DR: It is concluded that it is important to analyze GWAS data with both the lasso and the elastic net and an alternative tuning criterion to minimum MSE is needed for variable selection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Short communication: Genomic selection using a multi-breed, across-country reference population.
Jennie E. Pryce,Birgit Gredler,S. Bolormaa,Phil J. Bowman,C. Egger-Danner,Christian Fuerst,Reiner Emmerling,Johann Sölkner,Michael E. Goddard,Ben J. Hayes +9 more
TL;DR: Three breeds (Fleckvieh, Holstein, and Jersey) were included in a reference population to assess the accuracy of prediction of genomic breeding values in single-breed validation populations, finding that using 2 other breeds in the reference was generally better than only 1 breed.
Journal ArticleDOI
A nonsense mutation in TMEM95 encoding a nondescript transmembrane protein causes idiopathic male subfertility in cattle.
Hubert Pausch,Sabine Kölle,Christine Wurmser,H. Schwarzenbacher,Reiner Emmerling,Sandra Jansen,Matthias Trottmann,Christian Fuerst,Kay-Uwe Götz,Ruedi Fries +9 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that deficiency of TMEM95 severely compromises male reproductive performance in cattle and reveal for the first time a phenotypic effect associated with genomic variation in TMEM 95.
Journal ArticleDOI
Additive and Nonadditive Genetic Variances for Milk Yield, Fertility, and Lifetime Performance Traits of Dairy Cattle
Christian Fuerst,Johann Sölkner +1 more
TL;DR: Inclusion of nonadditive effects in genetic evaluation models might improve estimation of additive effects and may require consideration for dairy cattle breeding programs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recording of direct health traits in Austria--experience report with emphasis on aspects of availability for breeding purposes.
C. Egger-Danner,Birgit Fuerst-Waltl,Walter Obritzhauser,Christian Fuerst,H. Schwarzenbacher,B. Grassauer,M. Mayerhofer,A. Koeck +7 more
TL;DR: Practical experience gained in Austria in setting up a health registration system, focusing mainly on the availability of direct health data for breeding purposes with its successes and difficulties, is described.
