    • 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 ...
