1 John B. Cole Animal Improvement Programs Laboratory Agricultural Research Service, USDA Beltsville, MD 20705-2350 john.cole@ars.usda.gov Biological Insights Gained from Genomic Prediction

2 University of Bern, November 23, 2009 (2) Cole What is whole-genome selection? Many markers used to track inheritance of chromosomal segments Impact of each segment estimated for each trait Estimates combined with traditional predicted transmitting ability (PTA) to produce genomic evaluation (GPTA) Animals can be selected shortly after birth

3 University of Bern, November 23, 2009 (3) Cole What is a SNP? Location on a chromosome at which nucleotides differ among animals Usually not a quantitative trait locus (QTL) With enough SNP, association between SNP and QTL alleles allows useful genetic evaluation SNP chosen to be distributed evenly and have both alleles well represented in the population

4 University of Bern, November 23, 2009 (4) Cole Source of genomic evaluations DNA is extracted from blood, hair, or semen 43,385 SNP are evaluated SNP effect is difference in PTA from having 1 more A (BB v AB or AB v AA) Genomic evaluation combines SNP effect estimates with existing parent average (PA) or PTA

5 University of Bern, November 23, 2009 (5) Cole Preparation for genotyping Nominate animal for genotyping Collect hair, blood, or semen from animal Blood may not be suitable for twins Send to laboratory for DNA extraction Laboratory transfers DNA to BeadChip (12 samples/chip) for 3-day genotyping process

6 University of Bern, November 23, 2009 (6) Cole Genotyping Read red/green intensities from chip Call genotypes from intensity file Check genotypes: Duplicates Parent-progeny conflicts Wrong breed Wrong sex

7 University of Bern, November 23, 2009 (7) Cole Clustering
