[HTML][HTML] Evaluation of inbreeding depression in Holstein cattle using whole-genome SNP markers and alternative measures of genomic inbreeding

DW Bjelland, KA Weigel, N Vukasinovic… - Journal of dairy …, 2013 - Elsevier
The effects of increased pedigree inbreeding in dairy cattle populations have been well
documented and result in a negative impact on profitability. Recent advances in genotyping …

Comparison of methods that use whole genome data to estimate the heritability and genetic architecture of complex traits

…, GR Abecasis, S Das, S Gazal, DW Bjelland… - Nature …, 2018 - nature.com
Multiple methods have been developed to estimate narrow-sense heritability, h 2 , using
single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in unrelated individuals. However, a comprehensive …

[HTML][HTML] Production, reproduction, health, and growth traits in backcross Holstein× Jersey cows and their Holstein contemporaries

DW Bjelland, KA Weigel, PC Hoffman, NM Esser… - Journal of dairy …, 2011 - Elsevier
A total of 648 purebred Holstein and 319 backcross Holstein × Jersey dairy cattle were
compared for production, reproduction, health, linear type, and growth traits. Animals were born …

Narrow-sense heritability estimation of complex traits using identity-by-descent information

…, M Jones, SI Vrieze, GR Abecasis, S Das, DW Bjelland… - Heredity, 2018 - nature.com
Heritability is a fundamental parameter in genetics. Traditional estimates based on family or
twin studies can be biased due to shared environmental or non-additive genetic variance. …

[HTML][HTML] No reliable association between runs of homozygosity and schizophrenia in a well-powered replication study

EC Johnson, DW Bjelland, DP Howrigan… - PLoS …, 2016 - journals.plos.org
It is well known that inbreeding increases the risk of recessive monogenic diseases, but it is
less certain whether it contributes to the etiology of complex diseases such as schizophrenia…

[HTML][HTML] A fast and accurate method for detection of IBD shared haplotypes in genome-wide SNP data

DW Bjelland, U Lingala, PS Patel, M Jones… - European Journal of …, 2017 - nature.com
Identical by descent (IBD) segments are used to understand a number of fundamental issues
in genetics. IBD segments are typically detected using long stretches of identical alleles …

[HTML][HTML] The effect of feeding dairy heifers diets with and without supplemental phosphorus on growth, reproductive efficiency, health, and lactation performance

DW Bjelland, KA Weigel, PC Hoffman, NM Esser… - Journal of dairy …, 2011 - Elsevier
The phosphorus requirements for dairy heifers (0.20–0.35%) and endogenous concentrations
(0.20–35%) of P in feeds fed to dairy heifers are similar, suggesting that the need for …

[HTML][HTML] Using a family-based structure to detect the effects of genomic inbreeding on embryo viability in Holstein cattle

DW Bjelland, KA Weigel, AD Coburn, RD Wilson - Journal of Dairy Science, 2015 - Elsevier
Recent evidence has suggested that some of the decline in reproductive ability in dairy
cattle has been caused by embryonic death. The current study compared expected genomic …

The effect of feeding dairy heifers diets with and without supplemental phosphorus for 18 months on growth, reproductive efficiency and lactation performance

DW Bjelland, NM Esser, KA Weigel… - Journal of Dairy …, 2010 - ars.usda.gov
Technical Abstract: The phosphorous (P) requirements for dairy heifers (0.20–0.35%) and
endogenous levels (0.20–35%) of P in feeds fed to dairy heifers are similar, suggesting that …
