Trends in genetic diversity and the effect of inbreeding in American Angus cattle under genomic selection
GENETICS SELECTION EVOLUTION, 53(1).
Contributors: E. Lozada-Soto n, n , D. Lu, S. Miller*, J. Cole * & F. Tiezzi n
MeSH headings : Animals; Cattle / genetics; Genetic Fitness; Inbreeding; Inbreeding Depression; Pedigree; Polymorphism, Single Nucleotide; Quantitative Trait, Heritable; Red Meat / standards; Selection, Genetic; Selective Breeding
TL;DR:
In both sires and dams, genomic selection resulted in decreased rates of pedigree and genomic inbreeding accumulation and increased or sustained effective population sizes and number of independently segregating chromosome segments, and significant depressive effects of inbreeding accumulate on economically important growth traits, particularly with genomic and recent inbreeding.

Effect of genetic architecture on the prediction accuracy of quantitative traits in samples of unrelated individuals
HEREDITY, 120(6), 500–514.

MeSH headings : Algorithms; Alleles; Animals; Computer Simulation; Data Interpretation, Statistical; Databases, Genetic; Drosophila melanogaster / genetics; Epistasis, Genetic; Gene Frequency; Genetic Association Studies; Genetic Variation; Genetics, Population; Genome-Wide Association Study / methods; Genotype; Linkage Disequilibrium; Models, Genetic; Quantitative Trait Loci; Quantitative Trait, Heritable; Reproducibility of Results
TL;DR:
The results indicate that accounting for genetic architecture can improve prediction accuracy for quantitative traits, especially when predictions are informed by the genetic architecture inferred from mapping the top variants affecting main effects and interactions in the training data, provided there is sufficient power for mapping.

Causal relationships between milk quality and coagulation properties in Italian Holstein-Friesian dairy cattle
GENETICS SELECTION EVOLUTION, 47(1).
Contributors: F. Tiezzi n, B. Valente *, M. Cassandro * & n
MeSH headings : Animals; Caseins / analysis; Cattle; Chymosin; Dairying; Genetic Variation; Italy; Milk / chemistry; Milk / standards
TL;DR:
This study suggests that selection for RCT and a30 should not be performed on correlated traits such as SCS or CAS but on direct measures because the ability of milk to coagulate is improved through the causal effect that the former play on the latter, rather than from a common source of genetic variation.

Genetic parameters for fertility of dairy heifers and cows at different parities and relationships with production traits in first lactation
Journal of Dairy Science, 95(12), 7355–7362.
Contributors: F. Tiezzi *, n , A. Cecchinato *, M. Penasa * & G. Bittante *
author keywords: heifer; dairy cow; fertility and production; genetic parameter
MeSH headings : Animals; Cattle / genetics; Cattle / physiology; Female; Fertility / genetics; Fertility / physiology; Lactation / genetics; Lactation / physiology; Models, Genetic; Parity; Pregnancy; Quantitative Trait, Heritable
TL;DR:
The result indicates that fertility in heifers is a different trait than fertility in lactating cows, and hence it cannot be used as robust indicator of cow fertility, and milk yield depends on both pMY and LL, and, as such, is a cause and consequence of (in)fertility.
