ReaGP: integrating residual units and attention mechanisms in convolution neural network for genomic prediction.

Genetics, selection, evolution : GSE
BACKGROUND: Various methods have been widely utilized to estimate the genomic breeding values (GEBVs) for genomic prediction. Traditional approaches often relied on the assumption of linear regression models, which struggle to effectively capture the...

Explainable multi stream deep learning for fine grained camel breed classification using a Novel Arabian and Non Arabian dataset.

Scientific reports
Camels are resilient animals that play a crucial role in arid ecosystems and desert communities. However, distinguishing between visually similar camel breeds-particularly among Arabian camels-remains a challenging task. This paper introduces a novel...

Comparative evaluation of SNP-weighted, Bayesian, and machine learning models for genomic prediction in Holstein cattle.

BMC genomics
BACKGROUND: Genomic Best Linear Unbiased Prediction (GBLUP) assumes that all SNPs contribute equally to genetic variance, including those with minimal impact, limiting its accuracy. A major challenge in animal breeding is to develop more scientific m...

Optimizing selective breeding of livestock and forage crops to reduce the environmental impacts of grass-based dairy production by combining life cycle assessment and machine learning.

The Science of the total environment
Global demand for ruminant milk-based products is increasing, contributing to increases in associated environmental impacts. Yet, most efforts to reduce the total environmental impact of dairy production are based on livestock breeding and manipulati...

Bio-digital feedback loop systems: a synergistic integration of predictive genomics, genome editing, and AI-driven phenomic synthesis for next-generation edible and medicinal mushroom breeding.

Antonie van Leeuwenhoek
Edible mushrooms face persistent challenges in yield optimization, bioactive compound production, and climate resilience that conventional breeding methods struggle to address. Traditional approaches such as cross-breeding, protoplast fusion, and mut...

Whole genome resequencing reveals genetic diversity, population structure, and selection signatures in local duck breeds.

BMC genomics
BACKGROUND: Shandong's local duck breeds are renowned for their outstanding egg-laying performance and are regarded as valuable assets within China's waterfowl germplasm. Understanding the genetic characteristics of these populations, along with moni...

Predicting genetic merit in Harnali sheep using machine learning techniques.

Tropical animal health and production
Machine learning techniques offer promising avenues for enhancing animal breeding programs by leveraging genomic and phenotypic data to predict valuable traits accurately. In this study, we evaluated seven machine learning algorithms viz., K-nearest ...

Fidelity to territory and mate and the causes and consequences of breeding dispersal in American goshawk (Astur atricapillus).

PloS one
Using mark-resight data, we investigated fidelity to territory and mate as well as breeding dispersal rates and the causes and consequences of breeding dispersal in a 20-year study of American goshawks (Astur atricapillus) in Arizona, USA. Generalize...

Genomic selection in pig breeding: comparative analysis of machine learning algorithms.

Genetics, selection, evolution : GSE
BACKGROUND: The effectiveness of genomic prediction (GP) significantly influences breeding progress, and employing SNP markers to predict phenotypic values is a pivotal aspect of pig breeding. Machine learning (ML) methods are usually used to predict...

Standardizing canine breed data in veterinary records is challenging, but computer vision offers an alternative perspective on breed assignment.

American journal of veterinary research
Dog breed is fundamental health information, especially in the context of breed-linked diseases. The standardization of breed terminology across health records is necessary to leverage the big data revolution for veterinary research. Breed can also i...
