Genomics Beyond EBVs

Whole-genome selection (2008)
• Use many markers to track inheritance
of chromosomal segments
• Estimate the impact of each segment on
each trait
• Combine estimates with traditional
evaluations to produce genomic
evaluations (GPTA)
• Select animals shortly after birth using
GPTA
• Very successful worldwide

Dystocia complex
• Markers on chromosome 18 have
large effects on several traits:
• Dystocia and stillbirth: Sire and
daughter calving ease and sire
stillbirth
• Conformation: rump width, stature,
strength, and body depth
• Efficiency: longevity and net merit
• Large calves contribute to reduced
lifetimes and decreased profitability

Biology of the dystocia complex
• The key marker is ARS-BFGL-NGS-
109285 at 57,125,868 Mb on BTA18
• Located in a cluster of CD33-related
Siglec genes
• Many Siglecs involved in leptin signaling
• Recent results indicate effects on
gestation length and calf birth weight

What do we do next?
• Markers with large effects don’t
explain that much variation
• What about groups of SNP?
• Individual markers may not have
significant effects
• Groups of markers may collectively
have significant effects

Challenges in pathway analysis
• This is a new procedure for our lab
• There are many steps involving lots
of data sources
• Positive results can be challenging
to explain
• Negative results are not
necessarily definitive

• Genotypes from universities and research
organizations
• More widespread sharing of genotypes across
countries

future chips
• Annotation of the bovine genome

Conclusions
• We need more data
• Genotypes AND phenotypes
• Big p, small n
• More complex methodology
• We are all systems biologists now
• Can genomics be used on the farm?
• Mate selection
• Identify animals susceptible to disease
• Pedigree discovery
