We present use of SNP technologies to obtain for the first time, rapid, large-scale, in situ estimates of performance of crossbred cows in smallholder herds. Compared to historical approaches, our approach allowed optimum crossbreed choices to be determined more rapidly and without question about...

Genomics and breeding for highly productive and disease resistance livestock in the tropics
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 ...

Mapping of QTL influencing immunological responses to gastrointestinal nematode infection in mice. Abstract
A resource population of 429 pigs was developed from crosses of Hampshire, Duroc and Large White breeds ((H x D) x LW) for detection of quantitative trait loci (QTLs). Associations of histone deacetylase (HDAC) and fatty acid binding protein (FABP) candidate genes with 110 growth, carcass and mea...

Polymorphisms of histone deacetylase 1 and 3 genes and fatty acid binding protein 3 and 4 genes and their associations with economic traits in swine
Genome-wide quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping was used to evaluate the genetic basis of resistance to Helgmosomides polygyrus in an F2 cross of SWR and CBA mouse strains that are resistant and susceptible, respectively, to infection. 25 significant QTL affecting at least one of the resistanc...
