Ghaderi Zefreh M, Pong-Wong R, Doeschl-Wilson A
Animal . 2024 Aug; 18(8):101248. PMID: 39096601
Resilience is commonly defined as the ability of an individual to be minimally affected or to quickly recover from a challenge. Improvement of animals' resilience is a vital component of...

Antonios S, Legarra A, Pong-Wong R, Astruc J, Rodriguez-Ramilo S, Vitezica Z
J Dairy Sci . 2023 Jul; 106(9):6275-6287. PMID: 37419742
The genetic trend of milk yield for 4 French dairy sheep breeds (Lacaune, Basco-Béarnaise, Manech Tête Noire, and Manech Tête Rousse) was partitioned in Mendelian sampling trends by categories of...

Sutera A, Riggio V, Mastrangelo S, Di Gerlando R, Sardina M, Pong-Wong R, et al.
Anim Genet . 2019 Apr; 50(3):311-314. PMID: 30983012
Genome-wide association studies (GWASes) have become a powerful tool for identifying genomic regions associated with important traits in livestock. Milk production traits in dairy sheep are measured at different time...

Tsairidou S, Allen A, Pong-Wong R, McBride S, Wright D, Matika O, et al.
Anim Genet . 2018 Jan; 49(2):103-109. PMID: 29368428
Genetic selection of cattle more resistant to bovine tuberculosis (bTB) may offer a complementary control strategy. Hypothesising underlying non-additive genetic variation, we present an approach using genome-wide high density markers...

Jenko J, Wiggans G, Cooper T, Eaglen S, Luff W, Bichard M, et al.
J Dairy Sci . 2016 Nov; 100(1):439-452. PMID: 27837974
This study compares how different cow genotyping strategies increase the accuracy of genomic estimated breeding values (EBV) in dairy cattle breeds with low numbers. In these breeds, few sires have...

Shirali M, Pong-Wong R, Navarro P, Knott S, Hayward C, Vitart V, et al.
Heredity (Edinb) . 2015 Dec; 116(3):333-8. PMID: 26696135
Single single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genome-wide association studies (SSGWAS) may fail to identify loci with modest effects on a trait. The recently developed regional heritability mapping (RHM) method can potentially identify...

Lukic B, Pong-Wong R, Rowe S, de Koning D, Velander I, Haley C, et al.
Anim Genet . 2015 Oct; 46(6):607-16. PMID: 26449733
Genetic selection against boar taint, which is caused by high skatole and androstenone concentrations in fat, is a more acceptable alternative than is the current practice of castration. Genomic predictors...

Bermingham M, Pong-Wong R, Spiliopoulou A, Hayward C, Rudan I, Campbell H, et al.
Sci Rep . 2015 May; 5:10312. PMID: 25988841
In this study, we investigated the effect of five feature selection approaches on the performance of a mixed model (G-BLUP) and a Bayesian (Bayes C) prediction method. We predicted height,...

Bermingham M, Bishop S, Woolliams J, Pong-Wong R, Allen A, McBride S, et al.
Heredity (Edinb) . 2014 Feb; 112(5):543-51. PMID: 24496092
Tuberculosis (TB) caused by Mycobacterium bovis is a re-emerging disease of livestock that is of major economic importance worldwide, as well as being a zoonotic risk. There is significant heritability...

Riggio V, Pong-Wong R, Salle G, Usai M, Casu S, Moreno C, et al.
J Anim Breed Genet . 2014 Jan; 131(6):426-36. PMID: 24397290
Gastrointestinal nematode infections are one of the main health/economic issues in sheep industries, worldwide. Indicator traits for resistance such as faecal egg count (FEC) are commonly used in genomic studies;...
