Amongst others, the microsatellite DNA marker h...ResearchWed, 15 May 2002 00:00:00 GMThttps://gsejournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1297-9686-34-3-275Alain Vignal, Denis Milan, Magali SanCristobal and André Eggen2002-05-15T00:00:00Z
- Ancient DNA studies: new perspectives on old sampleshttps://gsejournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1297-9686-44-21In spite of past controversies, the field of ancient DNA is now a reliable research area due to recent methodological improvements. A series of recent large-scale studies have revealed the true potential of an...ReviewFri, 06 Jul 2012 00:00:00 GMThttps://gsejournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1297-9686-44-21Ermanno Rizzi, Martina Lari, Elena Gigli, Gianluca De Bellis and David Caramelli2012-07-06T00:00:00Z
- Accounting for dominance to improve genomic evaluations of dairy cows for fertility and milk production traitshttps://gsejournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12711-016-0186-0Dominance effects may contribute to genetic variation of complex traits in dairy cattle, especially for traits closely related to fitness such as fertility. However, traditional genetic evaluations generally i...Research ArticleMon, 01 Feb 2016 00:00:00 GMThttps://gsejournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12711-016-0186-0Hassan Aliloo, Jennie E.

- Direct and social genetic parameters for growth and fin damage traits in Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua)https://gsejournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1297-9686-46-5The aim of the study was to estimate genetic parameters for direct and social genetic effects (SGE) for growth and welfare traits in farmed Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua). A SGE refers to the effect of an individual...ResearchFri, 24 Jan 2014 00:00:00 GMThttps://gsejournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1297-9686-46-5Hanne M Nielsen, Brage B Monsen, Jørgen Ødegård, Piter Bijma, Børge Damsgård, Hilde Toften and Ingrid Olesen2014-01-24T00:00:00Z
- Estimation of genetic variance for macro- and micro-environmental sensitivity using double hierarchical generalized linear modelshttps://gsejournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1297-9686-45-23Genetic variation for environmental sensitivity indicates that animals are genetically different in their response to environmental factors. Environmental factors are either identifiable (e.g. temperature) and...ResearchThu, 04 Jul 2013 00:00:00 GMThttps://gsejournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1297-9686-45-23Han A Mulder, Lars Rönnegård, W Freddy Fikse, Roel F Veerkamp and Erling Strandberg2013-07-04T00:00:00Z
