Alternative applications of whole genome de novo assembly in animal genomics /
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)Genome sequencing is the process by which the sequence of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) residues that compromise the genome, or complete set of genetic materials of an organism or individual, is determined. Down-stream ... -
Leveraging large scale beef cattle genomic data to identify the architecture of polygenic selection and local adaptation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)Since the invention of the first array-based genotyping assay for cattle in 2008, millions of animals have been genotyped worldwide. Leveraging these genotypes offers exciting opportunities to explore both basic and applied ... -
Multivariate genome-wide association studies and genomic predictions in multiple breeds and crossbred animals
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)The aim of the first research project is to design a commercialized genomic test that strongly predicts meat tenderness and other carcass traits in multiple breeds and crossbred cattle. We have identified single nucleotide ...
