Genome-wide analysis of zygotic linkage disequilibrium and its components in crossbred cattle
Download2012
Jiang, Q., Wang, Z., Yang, R. C., Moore, S. S.
Background Linkage disequilibrium (LD) between genes at linked or independent loci can occur at gametic and zygotic levels known asgametic LD and zygotic LD, respectively. Gametic LD is well known for its roles in fine-scale mapping of quantitative trait loci, genomic selection and evolutionary...

Voort, G. V., Sargolzaei, M., Wang, Z., Moore, S., Mandell, I., Lu, D., Kelly, M., Plastow, G., Miller, S.
Background Genetic improvement of beef quality will benefit both producers and consumers, and can be achieved by selecting animals that carry desired quantitative trait nucleotides (QTN), which result from intensive searches using genetic markers. This paper presents a genome-wide association...

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) identify a QTL close to PRKAG3 affecting meat pH and colour in crossbred commercial pigs
Download2015
Miar, Y., Plastow, G. S., Charagu, P., Wang, Z., Kemp, R. A., Bruce, H., Zhang, Z., Yang, T.
Background Improving meat quality is a high priority for the pork industry to satisfy consumers’ preferences. GWAS have become a state-of-the-art approach to genetically improve economically important traits. However, GWAS focused on pork quality are still relatively rare. Results Six...

Greenhouse gas emissions from calf- and yearling-fed beef production systems, with and without the use of growth promotants
Download2012
Baron, V. S, Aalhus, J. L., Basarab, J. A., López-Campos, Ó., Haugen-Kozyra, K., Okine, E. K.
A spring calving herd consisting of about 350 beef cows, 14–16 breeding bulls, 60 replacement heifers and 112 steers were used to compare the whole-farm GHG emissions among calf-fed vs. yearling-fed production systems with and without growth implants. Carbon footprint ranged from 11.63 to 13.22...

Kolbehdari, D., Stothard, P., Schnabel, R., Wang, Z., Marques, E., Taylor, J. F., Moore, S. S.
Background Linkage disequilibrium (LD) maps can provide a wealth of information on specific marker-phenotype relationships, especially in areas of the genome where positional candidate genes with similar functions are located. A recently published high resolution radiation hybrid map of bovine...

High resolution radiation hybrid maps of bovine chromosome 19 and 29 and comparison with the bovine genome sequence assembly
Download2007
Murdoch, B., Wang, Z., Stothard, P., Womack, J. E., Mckay, S. D., Moore, S. S., Schiex, T., Prasad, A.
Background High resolution radiation hybrid (RH) maps can facilitate genome sequence assembly by correctly ordering genes and genetic markers along chromosomes. The objective of the present study was to generate high resolution RH maps of bovine chromosomes 19 (BTA19) and 29 (BTA29), and...

Impact of Feed Efficiency and Diet on Adaptive Variations in the Bacterial Community in the Rumen Fluid of Cattle
Download2012
Hernandez-Sanabria, E., Goonewardene, L. A., Durunna, O.N., Wang, Z., Moore, S S., Guan, L. L.
Limited knowledge of the structure and activities of the ruminal bacterial community prevents the understanding of the effect of population dynamics on functional bacterial groups and on host productivity. This study aimed to identify particular bacteria associated with host feed efficiency in...

Improving ECG-based COVID-19 diagnosis and mortality predictions using pre-pandemic medical records at population-scale
Download2022
Sun, W., Kalmady, S.V., Wang, Z., Salimi, A., Sepehrvand, N., Hindle, Abram, Chu, L.M., Greiner, R., Kaul, P.
Pandemic outbreaks such as COVID-19 occur unexpectedly, and need immediate action due to their potential devastating consequences on global health. Point-ofcare routine assessments such as electrocardiogram (ECG), can be used to develop prediction models for identifying individuals at risk....

Inbreeding and Genetic Diversity in Three Imported Swine Breeds in China Using Pedigree Data
Download2013
Xue, J., Li, X. W., Zeng, Z. Y., Zhu, L., Yang, R. F., Wang, Z., Bai, L., Liu, T. F., Jiang, Y. Z., Tang, G. Q., Jiang, A. A., Lian, M. J.
The accumulation of inbreeding and the loss of genetic diversity is a potential problem in the modern swine breeds in China. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to analyze the pedigrees of Chinese Duroc (CD), Landrace (CL) and Yorkshire (CY) swine to estimate the past and current rates of...

Chanmugam, P. S., Okine, E. K., Wang, Z., Mir, P. S., Goonewardene, L. A., Mir, Z.
Four Alpine does were used in a 4 × 4 Latin square design to determine the effects of feeding canola oil at four levels: 0, 2, 4 and 6% on milk fatty acid profile. The sum of C12:0 + C14:0 + C16:0(hypercholesterolemic fatty acids) decreased linearly and C18:0 + C18:1: C16:0 (indicator of...
