Blackburn H, Krehbiel B
Poult Sci . 2023 Jun; 102(8):102827. PMID: 37343351
Genetic differences among heritage or fancier breeds of chickens have not been quantified in the United States. Gene banks collecting germplasm for conserving these breeds need this information as do...

Thorne J, Murdoch B, Freking B, Redden R, Murphy T, Taylor J, et al.
Anim Genet . 2021 May; 52(4):395-408. PMID: 33955573
The continuous development and application of technology for genetic improvement is a key element for advancing sheep production in the United States. The US sheep industry has contracted over time...

Paim T, Hay E, Wilson C, Thomas M, Kuehn L, Paiva S, et al.
Anim Genet . 2020 Jan; 51(2):224-234. PMID: 31961956
Some livestock breeds face the challenge of reduced genetic variation, increased inbreeding depression owing to genetic drift and selection. Hybridization can reverse these processes and increase levels of productivity and...

Faria D, Wilson C, Paiva S, Blackburn H
Sci Rep . 2019 Mar; 9(1):3173. PMID: 30816173
Human migration and trade facilitated domesticated livestock movement, gene flow and development of diverse populations upon which agriculture is based. In addition, varying USA ecological conditions has led to a...

Tseveenjav B, Blackburn H, Garrick D
Anim Reprod Sci . 2018 Nov; 199:45-50. PMID: 30477690
Inbreeding has been shown to have negative effects on animal reproductive performance. It, however, has not been documented as to the extent that inbreeding impacts sperm cell characteristics especially after...

Blackburn H
Annu Rev Anim Biosci . 2017 Dec; 6:69-82. PMID: 29220198
Biobanking animal germplasm and tissues is a major component of conserving genetic resources. Effectively constructing such gene banks requires an understanding and evaluation of genetic resources, the ability to conserve...

Blackburn H, Krehbiel B, Ericsson S, Wilson C, Caetano A, Paiva S
PLoS One . 2017 May; 12(5):e0176474. PMID: 28459870
Ecoregional differences contribute to genetic environmental interactions and impact animal performance. These differences may become more important under climate change scenarios. Utilizing genetic diversity within a species to address such...
