We developed an F(11) AIL population from an F(1) cross of A/J (susceptible) and C57BL/6J (resistant) mouse strains. One thousand F(11) mice were challenged with P.c. chabaudi 54X, and 340 mice selected from the phenotypic extremes for susceptibility and resistance were genotyped for microsatel...

Due to the absence of accurate pedigree information, it has not been possible to implement genetic evaluations for crossbred cattle in African small-holder systems. Genomic selection techniques that do not rely on pedigree information could, therefore, be a useful alternative. The objective of th...

A genome-wide scan for quantitative trait loci (QTL) affecting gastrointestinal nematode resistance in sheep was completed using a double backcross population derived from Red Maasai and Dorper ewes bred to F1 rams. This design provided an opportunity to map potentially unique genetic variation a...

The expression of three putative QTL for upper thermal tolerance (UTT) was examined in two strains of outbred rainbow trout unselected for this trait using simple-sequence repeat (SSR; microsatellite) markers associated with UTT in backcrosses of lines selected on this trait. Two-way diallel lots...

This workshop reviews the options and strategies for the conservation of farm animal genetic resources (FAnGR) and to identify priorities for action. It focusses primarily on the technical needs and opportunities and placed less emphasis on policy and institutional issues. The workshop resulted i...

This paper raises some issues on how genetics and genomics research at the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) can play a role in assisting livestock development in the region. Fundamentals of livestock production is outlined and the ILRI genetics and genomics research programme is ...
