TL;DR: It is shown that the Gray phenotype is caused by a 4.6-kb duplication in intron 6 of STX17 (syntaxin-17) that constitutes a cis-acting regulatory mutation that is overexpressed in melanomas from Gray horses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inbreeding and runs of homozygosity: A possible solution to an old problem
TL;DR: It is argued for combining ROH analysis and other genomic estimators unrelated to haplotype length in order to better define the inbreeding reference population.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: A meta-analysis of data from cattle shows that the genetic architecture underlying stature is similar to that in humans, where many genomic regions individually explain only a small amount of phenotypic variance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Estimating autozygosity from high-throughput information: effects of SNP density and genotyping errors
TL;DR: It is shown that SNP chip density and genotyping errors introduce patterns of bias in the estimation of autozygosity based on runs of homozygosity, and SNP chips with 50 000 to 60 000 markers are frequently available for livestock species and their information leads to a conservative prediction of autozykgosity from runs ofhomozygosity longer than 4 Mb.
Journal ArticleDOI
Estimates of autozygosity derived from runs of homozygosity: empirical evidence from selected cattle populations

TL;DR: The proportion of the genome present in ROH provides a good indication of inbreeding levels and analysis based on ROH length can indicate the relative amounts of autozygosity due to recent and remote ancestors.
