    • Comparison of Bayesian models to estimate direct genomic values in multi-breed commercial beef cattle 

      Rolf, Megan M.; Garrick, Dorian J.; Fountain, Tara; Ramey, Holly R.; Weaber, Robert L.; Decker, Jared E.; Pollak, E. John; Schnabel, Robert D.; Taylor, Jeremy F. (BioMed Central, 2015-04-01)
      Background: While several studies have examined the accuracy of direct genomic breeding values (DGV) within and across purebred cattle populations, the accuracy of DGV in crossbred or multi-breed cattle populations has ...

    • Detection of selective sweeps in cattle using genome-wide SNP data 

      Ramey, Holly R.; Decker, Jared E.; McKay, Stephanie D.; Rolf, Megan M.; Schnabel, Robert D.; Taylor, Jeremy F. (BioMed Central, 2013-06-07)
      Background: The domestication and subsequent selection by humans to create breeds and biological types of cattle undoubtedly altered the patterning of variation within their genomes. Strong selection to fix advantageous ...

    • Novel analytical method, Birth Date Selection Mapping, detects response of the Angus (Bos taurus) genome to selection on complex traits 

      Decker, Jared E.; Vasco, Daniel A.; McKay, Stephanie D.; McClure, Matthew C.; Rolf, Megan M.; Kim, JaeWoo; Northcutt, Sally L.; Bauck, Stewart; Woodward, Brent W.; Schnabel, Robert D.; Taylor, Jeremy F. (BioMed Central, 2012-11-09)
      Background: Several methods have recently been developed to identify regions of the genome that have been exposed to strong selection. However, recent theoretical and empirical work suggests that polygenic models are ...
