Theories of quantitative genetics have been established over a century ago and the foundation of these theories is based on infinitesimal model developed by Ronal Fisher (1918). The statistical framework developed by Fisher was restricted by the lack of molecular insight. However, the invent of next generation sequencing technologies along with declining the cost of […]

According to the most common inquiries from my students and colleagues, I decided to organize my github page (https://github.com/rostamabd) and would like to share with you six different repositories. These repositories include: Next Generation Sequencing Work-Flow Adding genomic evaluation (BayesB) to the QMSim program as an executable external Rscript file Post- processing of Random Regression […]

Surfing the net, brought up a paper from the editorial board of Genetics selection evolution journal (Genetic Selection Evolution’s Editorial, 2019) to my attention on perspectives research areas that probably they are the direction of future studies in Animal breeding: Studies on whole genome sequencing, targeted sequencing, exome sequencing, genotyped by sequencing in order to […]

For celebrating the 12 anniversary of my website/Weblog, I would like to provide you some links to the freely accessible Genomics and phenotypic data. Please remember that if you use these data in your research, it is required to cite the original data sources and articles. Data in the below databases are partly freely available […]

I would like to thank Mohammad Ghaderzadeh for sharing with us the Persian translation of a review paper on “next generation sequencing in livestock Species” written by Sharm et al. (2017). In total, the paper is prepared in three sections: 1) An introduction to NGS. 2) Role of NGS in livestock diseases and other complex […]

You may have heard Surrogate mother, but it was my first time that I heard Surrogate Sire. A Surrogate mother is a woman who bears a child on behalf of another woman, either from the implantation in her uterus of a fertilized egg from the other couple or from her own egg fertilized by the […]
