Plastow, G., Durunna, O. N., Stothard, P., Mujibi, F. D. N., Moore, S. S., Wang, Z., Basarab, J. A., Nkrumah, D. J., Crews Jr, D. H., Mah, J.
The benefit of using genomic breeding values (GEBV) in predicting ADG, DMI, and residual feed intake for an admixed population was investigated. Phenotypic data consisting of individual daily feed intake measurements for 721 beef cattle steers tested over 5 yr was available for analysis. The...

An Assessment of Population Structure in Eight Breeds of Cattle Using a Whole Genome SNP Panel
Download2008
Schnabel, R. D., Wang, Z., Taylor, J. F., Gill, C. A., Van Tassell, C. P., Gao, C., Aerts, J., Williams, J. L., Neto, E. D., Murdoch, B. M., Matukumalli, L. K., Coppieters, W., McKay, S. D., Mannenl, H., Crews, D., Moore, S. S.
Background Analyses of population structure and breed diversity have provided insight into the origin and evolution of cattle. Previously, these studies have used a low density of microsatellite markers, however, with the large number of single nucleotide polymorphism markers that are now...

Construction of bovine whole-genome radiation hybrid and linkage maps using high-throughput genotyping
Download2007
Williams, J. L., Moore, S. S., Wang, Z., McKay, S. D., Murdoch, B. M.
High-density whole-genome maps are essential for ordering genes or markers and aid in the assembly of genome sequence. To increase the density of markers on the bovine radiation hybrid map, and hence contribute to the assembly of the bovine genome sequence, an Illumina® BeadStation was used to...

Genetic parameters for production and feeding behaviour traits in crossbred steers fed a finishing diet at different ages
Download2013
Wang, Z., Nkrumah, D. J., Basarab, J. A., Durunna, O. N., Okine, E. K., Moore, S. S., Mujibi, F. D. N.
Because cattle can be raised postweaning under several feeding regimes, this study examined the consistency of phenotypic and genetic parameters of some production and feeding behaviour traits between two feeding periods that beef cattle received a finisher diet. Crossbred steers (n=851) were...

Background Bovine whole genome linkage disequilibrium maps were constructed for eight breeds of cattle. These data provide fundamental information concerning bovine genome organization which will allow the design of studies to associate genetic variation with economically important traits and...
