A strategy for QTL fine-mapping using a dense SNP map (2009)

Tarres, Joaquim, Guillaume, François, Fritz, Sébastien

Abstract Background Dense marker maps require efficient statistical methods for QTL fine mapping that work fast and efficiently with a large number of markers. In this study, the simulated dataset...

Estimation by simulation of the efficiency of the French marker-assisted selection program in dairy cattle (Open Access publication) (2008)

Guillaume, François, Fritz, Sébastien, Boichard, Didier, Druet, Tom

Abstract The efficiency of the French marker-assisted selection (MAS) was estimated by a simulation study. The data files of two different time periods were used: April 2004 and 2006. The simulation...

Fine Mapping and Physical Characterization of Two Linked Quantitative Trait Loci Affecting Milk Fat Yield in Dairy Cattle on BTA26

Gautier, Mathieu, Barcelona, Rosa Roy, Fritz, Sébastien, Grohs, Cécile, Druet, Tom, Boichard, Didier, ...

Previously, a highly significant QTL affecting fat yield and protein yield and mapped to the bovine BTA26 chromosome has been reported to segregate in the French Holstein cattle population. To...

Fine Mapping of Quantitative Trait Loci Affecting Female Fertility in Dairy Cattle on BTA03 Using a Dense Single-Nucleotide Polymorphism Map

Druet, Tom, Fritz, Sébastien, Boussaha, Mekki, Ben-Jemaa, Slim, Guillaume, François, Derbala, David, ...

Fertility quantitative trait loci (QTL) are of high interest in dairy cattle since insemination failure has dramatically increased in some breeds such as Holstein. High-throughput SNP analysis and...

The Genome Response to Artificial Selection: A Case Study in Dairy Cattle

Flori, Laurence, Fritz, Sébastien, Jaffrézic, Florence, Boussaha, Mekki, Gut, Ivo, Heath, Simon, ...

Dairy cattle breeds have been subjected over the last fifty years to intense artificial selection towards improvement of milk production traits. In this study, we performed a whole genome scan for...
