However, for small-to-medium-sized pig farms or breeds with limited population sizes, conducting genomic breeding programs presents significant challenges. In this study, 2295 Yorkshire pigs were selected from three distinct regions, including 1500 from an American line, 500 from a Canadian line, and 295 from a Danish line. All populations were genotyped using the GeneSeek 50K GGP Porcine HD chip. To enhance genomic selection accuracy, we proposed strategies that combined multiple populations and leveraged multi-omics prior information. Cis-QTL from the PigGTEx database and QTL identified through genome-wide association studies were incorporated into the genomic feature best linear unbiased prediction (GFBLUP) model to predict the ADG100 and the BF100 traits. Results demonstrated that combining multiple populations effectively improved prediction accuracy for small population, accuracy for ADG100 increased by an average of 0.29 and accuracy for BF100 by 0.05. The GFBLUP model, which integrates biological priors, showed some improvements in prediction accuracy for the BF100 trait. Specifically, for the small population, accuracy increased by 0.09 in Scheme 1, where each population size was predicted independently. In Scheme 3, where the large population was used as a reference group to predict the small population, accuracy increased by 0.03. However, the GFBLUP model did not provide additional benefits in predicting the ADG100 trait. These findings offer effective strategies for genetic improvement in developing regions and highlight the potential of multi-omics integration to enhance prediction models.</p>","PeriodicalId":7905,"journal":{"name":"Animal genetics","volume":"56 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143362359","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since its inception as a society, ISAG has sought to provide a platform advocating for a just and equitable future in animal genetics. At the 39th ISAG conference, this commitment towards furthering inclusion in animal genetic science was progressed with two new offerings to attendees. The first session guided discussions on the political, ethical, legal, socioeconomic, and cultural dynamics that present barriers to participating in and benefitting from the genomic and genetic science fraternity. This session also included principles of social justice, specifically equity, diversity, and inclusion, towards enacting fairness in an unfair world, and focused on constraints related to sustainability in animal genetics. The second session used the important tradition of storytelling to transfer knowledge and wisdom from experienced scientists to upcoming researchers. Experienced scientists shared lived experiences on educational and career paths, challenges, and opportunities, providing networking and opportunities for further mentoring.

This makes the Beigang pig a valuable reference for studying the genetic mechanisms on large ear size in pigs.

Three selection signal detection methods—runs of homozygosity, fixation index, and integrated haplotype score—were employed to explore the differences in genomic selection signatures between Beigang pig and other pig populations. Additionally, we used a public project for regulatory variants discovery and molecular phenotype prediction in farm animal species called FarmGtex to explore the expression of three genes (<i>WIF1</i>, <i>LEMD3</i>, and <i>MSRB3</i>) related to ear size in Beigang pig.
