Improving the accuracy of genomic predictions in numerically small populations
Iheshiulor, Oscar Okechukwu Michael (PhD Thesis;2016:20, Doctoral thesis, 2017-12-06)Genomic selection (GS) is increasingly being implemented in livestock, especially in the dairy cattle sector. While dairy cattle populations such as Holsteins have benefitted greatly from GS in the accuracy of evaluation ... -
Inbreeding determined by the amount of homozygous regions in the genome
Hillestad, Borghild (PhD Thesis;2015:41, Doctoral thesis, 2017-11-30)The main aim of this PhD was to study long homozygote segments present in the genome in Norwegian Red, and find genomic options to measure inbreeding more accurately than from a pedigree database. Prior to the study, runs ...
