Genomic analysis for managing small and endangered populations: a case study in Tyrol Grey cattle (original) (raw)

2015, Frontiers in Genetics

AI-generated Abstract

Analysis of genomic data is crucial for managing endangered livestock populations. This study uses Tyrol Grey cattle to demonstrate the application of genomic analyses, focusing on linkage disequilibrium, inbreeding levels, and genomic breeding values. Results show that genomic insights improve understanding of population structures, enabling better management decisions based on real genomic data rather than traditional pedigree information. It advocates for routine genotyping in small breeds for effective population management.
