Modern dairying uses sophisticated data collection systems to maximize farm profitability. This has traditionally included information on cows and their environments, and now commonly includes genotype information from high-density single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) panels. The US national database alone contains genotypes for 924,543 bulls and cows as of March 23, 2015, and many other countries are also genotyping animals. As the data continue to grow, the prospect of using genotypes to construct phenotypes directly, instead of measuring phenotypes on animals, becomes more attractive. There are many applications for this genomic information other than the prediction of breeding values. A notable recent application is the use of haplotypes in combination with next-generation sequencing data to identify causal variants associated with recessives. The methodology for identifying recessive haplotypes by searching for a deficit of homozygotes was first used in combination with sequence data to identify the causal variant (APAF1) associated with the HH1 haplotype. The US currently tracks 24 recessive haplotypes in four cattle breeds, and thanks to the work of several teams around the world the causal variants for 17 of them are known. The haplotypes include lethal recessive conditions, such as brachyspina, as well as hair coat color and polledness. There is growing interest in the latter to improve animal welfare and increase economic efficiency, but the polled haplotype has a very low frequency (0.41%, 0.93%, and 2.22% in Brown Swiss, Holstein, and Jersey, respectively). Increasing haplotype frequency by index selection requires known status for all animals. Gene content (GC) for non-genotyped animals was computed using records from genotyped relatives. Prediction accuracy was checked by comparing polled status from recessive codes and animal names to GC for 1,615 non-genotyped Jerseys with known status. 97% (n = 675) of horned animals were correctly assigned GC near 0, and 3% (n = 19) were assigned GC near 1. Heterozygous polled animals had GC near 0 (52%, n = 474) and near 1 (47%; n = 433), although 3 animals were assigned a GC near 2. All homozygous polled animals (n = 11) were assigned GC near 2. Genotype information can also be combined with other data, such as milk spectral data, to predict phenotypes for traits that are expensive or difficult to measure directly. These data can be used for precision farm management, including early culling decisions, monitoring of animals at risk for health problems, and identification of efficient and inefficient cows. The most substantial challenge faced by many dairy managers will be the effective use of the new phenotypes that now are available.

This presentation describes recent changes to the national genetic evaluation system, as well as new research undertaken by AGIL scientists. Topics covered include the 2014 genetic base change, updates to the lifetime net merit selection index, and introduction of the grazing merit index, and the redefinition of daughter pregnancy rate. New research on the use of gene content to predict polled status, and statistical models for accommodating genotype-by-environment interactions also are described.

Genetic selection has been very successful when applied to traits of moderate to high heritability, but progress has been slow for traits with low heritabilities. The problem is further compounded when novel traits are considered because data needed to calculate high-reliability PTA generally are not available. A combination of producer-recorded health event data and SNP genotypes may permit the routine calculation of PTA with reasonable reliabilities for health traits.

Context. WASP-76 b has been a recurrent subject of study since the detection of a signature in high-resolution transit spectroscopy data indicating an asymmetry between the two limbs of the planet. The existence of this asymmetric signature has been confirmed by multiple studies, but its physical origin is still under debate. In addition, it contrasts with the absence of asymmetry reported in the infrared (IR) phase curve. Aims. We provide a more comprehensive dataset of WASP-76 b with the goal of drawing a complete view of the physical processes at work in this atmosphere. In particular, we attempt to reconcile visible high-resolution transit spectroscopy data and IR broadband phase curves. Methods. We gathered 3 phase curves, 20 occultations, and 6 transits for WASP-76 b in the visible with the CHEOPS space telescope. We also report the analysis of three unpublished sectors observed by the TESS space telescope (also in the visible), which represents 34 phase curves. Results. WASP-76 b displays an occultation of 260±11 and 152±10 ppm in TESS and CHEOPS bandpasses respectively. Depending on the composition assumed for the atmosphere and the data reduction used for the IR data, we derived geometric albedo estimates that range from 0.05 ± 0.023 to 0.146 ± 0.013 and from <0.13 to 0.189 ± 0.017 in the CHEOPS and TESS bandpasses, respectively. As expected from the IR phase curves, a low-order model of the phase curves does not yield any detectable asymmetry in the visible either. However, an empirical model allowing for sharper phase curve variations offers a hint of a flux excess before the occultation, with an amplitude of ∼40 ppm, an orbital offset of ∼−30◦ , and a width of ∼20◦ . We also constrained the orbital eccentricity of WASP-76 b to a value lower than 0.0067, with a 99.7% confidence level. This result contradicts earlier proposed scenarios aimed at explaining the asymmetry observed in high-resolution transit spectroscopy. Conclusions. In light of these findings, we hypothesise that WASP-76 b could have night-side clouds that extend predominantly towards its eastern limb. At this limb, the clouds would be associated with spherical droplets or spherically shaped aerosols of an unknown species, which would be responsible for a glory effect in the visible phase curves.

Molecular markers are identifiable DNA sequences used to locate genes associated with specific traits or genetic conditions. A molecular marker is a specific gene fragment present at a specific position called ‘locus’ (pleural loci) in the genome of a cell. In the pool of unknown DNA or in a whole chromosome, these molecular markers help in identification of particular sequence of DNA at particular location.

Molecular markers- RFLP, RAPD, AFLP, SNP etc.

The computation of anti-derivatives is just an in-tellectual challenge, we know how to take deriv-atives, but … can we invert the process? We call this Computing the indefinite integral . In the last presentation we have seen a few indefinite integrals (we called them bricks), but they did not include the anti-derivative of many functions! We are going to try and do better !

Theoretical predictions and observational data indicate a class of sub-Neptune exoplanets may have water-rich interiors covered by hydrogen-dominated atmospheres. Provided suitable climate conditions, such planets could host surface liquid oceans. Motivated by recent JWST observations of K2-18 b, we self-consistently model the photochemistry and potential detectability of biogenic sulfur gases in the atmospheres of temperate sub-Neptune waterworlds for the first time. On Earth today, organic sulfur compounds produced by marine biota are rapidly destroyed by photochemical processes before they can accumulate to significant levels. Domagal-Goldman et al. suggest that detectable biogenic sulfur signatures could emerge in Archean-like atmospheres with higher biological production or low UV flux. In this study, we explore biogenic sulfur across a wide range of biological fluxes and stellar UV environments. Critically, the main photochemical sinks are absent on the nightside of tidally locked planets. To address this, we further perform experiments with a 3D general circulation model and a 2D photochemical model (VULCAN 2D) to simulate the global distribution of biogenic gases to investigate their terminator concentrations as seen via transmission spectroscopy. Our models indicate that biogenic sulfur gases can rise to potentially detectable levels on hydrogen-rich water worlds, but only for enhanced global biosulfur flux (20 times modern Earth’s flux). We find that it is challenging to identify DMS at 3.4 μm where it strongly overlaps with CH4, whereas it is more plausible to detect DMS and companion byproducts, ethylene (C2H4) and ethane (C2H6), in the mid-infrared between 9 and 13 μm.
