Immunity Traits in Pigs: Substantial Genetic Variation and Limited Covariation
BACKGROUND Increasing robustness via improvement of resistance to pathogens is a major selection objective in livestock breeding. As resistance traits are difficult or impossible to measure directly, potential indirect criteria are measures of immune traits (ITs). Our underlying hypothesis is that levels of ITs with no focus on specific pathogens define an individual's immunocompetence and thus...
متن کاملGenetic correlation between egg quality traits
Genetic correlation coefficients between egg quality traits were studied using fiftysix harco pullets raised under standard management practices. The estimates were carried out at 22-week, 26-week, 30-week and 32-week of age. Egg quality traits studied include egg weight (EW), shell thickness (ST), haugh unit (HU), yolk index (YI) and shape index (SI). Zero to slight negative correlation coeffi...
متن کاملEstimation of Phenotypic and Genetic Parameters of Egg Quality Traits of Azerbaijan Native Hens
The egg quality is one of the most important economic factors for layers that are crucial for hatchability and marketing. Given the low number of egg quality traits records, one of the approaches in estimating phenotypic and genetic parameters is multi trait analysis. The aim of this study was to estimate the phenotypic and genetic parameters of west Azerbaijan native hens egg quality traits by...
متن کاملGenetic Variation and Covariation in Male Attractiveness and Female Mating Preferences in Drosophila melanogaster
How mating preferences evolve remains one of the major unsolved mysteries in evolutionary biology. One major impediment to the study of ornament-preference coevolution is that many aspects of the theoretical literature remain loosely connected to empirical data. Theoretical models typically streamline mating preferences by describing preference functions with a single parameter, a modeling conv...
متن کاملComplex Control of GABA(A) Receptor Subunit mRNA Expression: Variation, Covariation, and Genetic Regulation
GABA type-A receptors are essential for fast inhibitory neurotransmission and are critical in brain function. Surprisingly, expression of receptor subunits is highly variable among individuals, but the cause and impact of this fluctuation remains unknown. We have studied sources of variation for all 19 receptor subunits using massive expression data sets collected across multiple brain regions ...
