TLDR
A high-density scan using 38,416 single nucleotide polymorphism markers for 5,285 bulls confirmed 2 previously known major genes on Bos taurus autosomes (BTA) 6 and 14 but revealed few other large effects as discussed by the authors.About:

Use of principal component approach to predict direct genomic breeding values for beef traits in Italian Simmental cattle.
Giustino Gaspa,Maria Annunziata Pintus,Ezequiel L. Nicolazzi,D. Vicario,Alessio Valentini,Corrado Dimauro,Nicolò Pietro Paolo Macciotta +6 more
TL;DR: Results of the present study may suggest a possible advantage of use of genomic indexes in the preselection of performance test candidates for beef traits because the relevant reduction of variable space might allow genomic selection implementation also in small populations.

Assessing the genetic background and genomic relatedness of red cattle populations originating from Northern Europe
Christin Schmidtmann,Anna A. Schönherz,Bernt Guldbrandtsen,Bernt Guldbrandtsen,Jovana Marjanovic,Mario P. L. Calus,Dirk Hinrichs,Georg Thaller +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed the genomic properties of ten cattle breeds originating from Germany, The Netherlands and Denmark belonging to the group of red dairy breeds in Northern Europe and provided comprehensive knowledge on the genetic constitution and genomic connectedness of divergent red cattle populations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tracking chromosomal positions of oligomers - a case study with Illumina's BovineSNP50 beadchip
TL;DR: A mapping strategy and a suite of software scripts to update the chromosomal positions of oligomer sequences used for SNP genotyping on high density arrays to facilitate the analysis of data from a GWAS or from an expression study, especially with species whose genome assembly is still unstable.

TL;DR: A gene co-heterozygosity network that regulates bovine fertility is inferred, and transcription factors that are likely to regulate genes associated with cattle domestication and tropical adaptation are reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genome-wide selection signatures in pinzgau cattle
TL;DR: The results indicated use of similar selection scheme in breeding programs of Slovak and Austrian Pinzgau bulls and the evidence for genome-wide association between signatures of selection and regions affecting complex traits such as milk production was insignificant.

Introduction to quantitative genetics
TL;DR: The genetic constitution of a population: Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and changes in gene frequency: migration mutation, changes of variance, and heritability are studied.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Efficient Methods to Compute Genomic Predictions
TL;DR: Efficient methods for processing genomic data were developed to increase reliability of estimated breeding values and to estimate thousands of marker effects simultaneously, and a blend of first- and second-order Jacobi iteration using 2 separate relaxation factors converged well for allele frequencies and effects.

Invited review: reliability of genomic predictions for North American Holstein bulls.

TL;DR: Genotypes for 38,416 markers and August 2003 genetic evaluations for 3,576 Holstein bulls born before 1999 were used to predict January 2008 daughter deviations and genomic prediction improves reliability by tracing the inheritance of genes even with small effects.
