Economic value of days open for Holstein cows of alternative milk yields with varying calving intervals [Feeding costs].
TL;DR: Value of days open was estimated by budgeting simulation of a commercial herd situation for Holstein cows of alternative milk yields with varying calving intervals and the 13-mo calving interval appears to be close to optimal.

TL;DR: Results validate quantitative genetic assumptions that most traits are due to the contributions of a large number of genes of small additive effect, rather than support the finite locus model.

Comparative evaluation of udder and body conformation traits of first lactation ¾ Holstein ¼ Jersey versus Holstein cows
TL;DR: It is suggested that certain aspects of the mammary conformation of ¾ HO x ¼ JE crossbreds, as identified in this study, may be animal-associated risk factors of concern for cow culling, mainly in high input production systems.

Prediction of Total Genetic Value Using Genome-Wide Dense Marker Maps
TL;DR: It was concluded that selection on genetic values predicted from markers could substantially increase the rate of genetic gain in animals and plants, especially if combined with reproductive techniques to shorten the generation interval.

Genome-wide association studies for common diseases and complex traits
TL;DR: Genome-wide association studies will soon become possible, and could open new frontiers in the understanding and treatment of disease, however, the execution and analysis of such studies will require great care.

TL;DR: This Review highlights the knowledge gained, defines areas of emerging consensus, and describes the challenges that remain as researchers seek to obtain more complete descriptions of the susceptibility architecture of biomedical traits of interest and to translate the information gathered into improvements in clinical management.
Journal ArticleDOI
A vision for the future of genomics research
TL;DR: The Human Genome Project (HGP) as mentioned in this paper was the first attempt to obtain a high-quality, comprehensive sequence of the human genome, in this fiftieth anniversary year of the discovery of the double-helical structure of DNA.
Journal ArticleDOI
That BLUP is a Good Thing: The Estimation of Random Effects
TL;DR: In animal breeding, Best Linear Unbiased Prediction (BLUP) as mentioned in this paper is a technique for estimating genetic merits, which can be used to derive the Kalman filter, the method of Kriging used for ore reserve estimation, credibility theory used to work out insurance premiums, and Hoadley's quality measurement plan used to estimate a quality index.
