Ros-Freixedes R, Johnsson M, Whalen A, Chen C, Valente B, Herring W, et al.
Genet Sel Evol . 2022 Sep; 54(1):65. PMID: 36153511
Background: Early simulations indicated that whole-genome sequence data (WGS) could improve the accuracy of genomic predictions within and across breeds. However, empirical results have been ambiguous so far. Large datasets...

Kajokaite K, Whalen A, Koster J, Perry S
Behav Ecol . 2022 Jul; 33(4):807-815. PMID: 35812363
Across multiple species of social mammals, a growing number of studies have found that individual sociality is associated with survival. In long-lived species, like primates, lifespan is one of the...

Volter C, Reindl E, Felsche E, Civelek Z, Whalen A, Lugosi Z, et al.
Sci Rep . 2022 Apr; 12(1):6456. PMID: 35440707
Executive functions (EF) are a core aspect of cognition. Research with adult humans has produced evidence for unity and diversity in the structure of EF. Studies with preschoolers favour a...

Dadousis C, Somavilla A, Ilska J, Johnsson M, Batista L, Mellanby R, et al.
Genet Sel Evol . 2021 Sep; 53(1):70. PMID: 34496773
Background: Body weight (BW) is an economically important trait in the broiler (meat-type chickens) industry. Under the assumption of polygenicity, a "large" number of genes with "small" effects is expected...

Johnsson M, Whalen A, Ros-Freixedes R, Gorjanc G, Chen C, Herring W, et al.
Genet Sel Evol . 2021 Jun; 53(1):54. PMID: 34171988
Background: Meiotic recombination results in the exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes. Recombination rate varies between different parts of the genome, between individuals, and is influenced by genetics. In...

Ssentongo P, Ba D, Ssentongo A, Fronterre C, Whalen A, Yang Y, et al.
PLoS One . 2021 Apr; 16(4):e0250138. PMID: 33831117
[This corrects the article DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0233615.].

Money D, Wilson D, Jenko J, Whalen A, Thorn S, Gorjanc G, et al.
Genet Sel Evol . 2020 Jul; 52(1):38. PMID: 32640985
Background: We describe the latest improvements to the long-range phasing (LRP) and haplotype library imputation (HLI) algorithms for successful phasing of both datasets with one million individuals and datasets genotyped...

Ssentongo P, Ba D, Ssentongo A, Fronterre C, Whalen A, Yang Y, et al.
PLoS One . 2020 May; 15(5):e0233615. PMID: 32470055
Background: Despite the high prevalence of childhood protein-energy malnutrition and vitamin A deficiency in sub-Saharan Africa, their association has not been explored in this region. A better understanding of the...

Whalen A, Gorjanc G, Hickey J
Bioinformatics . 2020 May; 36(15):4369-4371. PMID: 32467963
Summary: AlphaFamImpute is an imputation package for calling, phasing and imputing genome-wide genotypes in outbred full-sib families from single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array and genotype-by-sequencing (GBS) data. GBS data are...

Ros-Freixedes R, Whalen A, Gorjanc G, Mileham A, Hickey J
Genet Sel Evol . 2020 Apr; 52(1):18. PMID: 32248818
Background: For assembling large whole-genome sequence datasets for routine use in research and breeding, the sequencing strategy should be adapted to the methods that will be used later for variant...
