India Emerging Markets Conference, May 2009 (3) Melvin Tooker 2009 Short history Illumina BovineSNP50™ BeadChip developed Accuracy of genomic information assessed by using 2004 evaluations of bulls born before 2000 to predict 2009 evaluations of young bulls Unofficial genomic evaluations of bull calves provided to industry beginning in April 2008 Jersey results released in October 2008 Over 23,000 animals genotyped through Mar. 2009
India Emerging Markets Conference, May 2009 (4) Melvin Tooker 2009 Source of genomic evaluations DNA extracted from blood, hair, or semen ~40,000 genetic markers (SNPs) evaluated For each SNP, difference in PTA estimated between animals with 1 allele compared to the other allele Genomic data contribute ~11 daughter equivalents to reliability
India Emerging Markets Conference, May 2009 (5) Melvin Tooker 2009 How Related are Relatives? Example: Full sibs are expected to share 50% of their DNA on average may actually share 45% or 55% of their DNA because each inherits a different mixture of chromosome segments from the two parents. Combine genotype and pedigree data to determine exact fractions
India Emerging Markets Conference, May 2009 (6) Melvin Tooker 2009 Genomic Relationships Measures of genetic similarity A = Expected % genes identical by descent from pedigree (Wright, 1922) G = Actual % of DNA shared (using genotype data) T = % genes shared that affect a given trait (using genotype and phenotype)
India Emerging Markets Conference, May 2009 (7) Melvin Tooker 2009 Markers vs QTLs Models contain markers, not QTLs M is markers inherited minus freq M M’ / ∑ p(1-p) = G List all QTL affecting a trait Q is alleles inherited minus freq q contains effects of alleles u = Q q, var(q) = V q var(u) = E(u u’) = Q V q Q’ = T
India Emerging Markets Conference, May 2009 (8) Melvin Tooker 2009 QTL Relationship Matrix (T) Three bulls have +50 PTA protein. Do they have the same genes? Extremely unlikely. Bull A could have 10 positive genes. Bull B could have 10 positive genes, but on different chromosomes. Bull C could have 20 positive and 10 negative genes.
India Emerging Markets Conference, May 2009 (9) Melvin Tooker 2009 Genes in Common at One Locus If Full Sib 1 inherits: If Full Sib 2 inherits: w,yw,zx,yx,z w,y2110 w,z1201 x,y1021 x,z0112 w = gene from sire of sire x = gene from dam of sire y = gene from sire of dam z = gene from dam of dam
India Emerging Markets Conference, May 2009 (10) Melvin Tooker 2009 Unrelated Individuals? No known common ancestors Many unknown common ancestors born before the known pedigree Relationships in base 0 ± x.x% due to earlier ancestors Called linkage disequilibrium (LD) Poor terminology, genes may not be physically linked

India Emerging Markets Conference, May 2009 (25) Melvin Tooker 2009 Conclusions Relationships can be defined as: A = expected genes in common G = actual DNA in common T = QTL alleles in common for a trait Full sibs share 50% ± 3.5% of DNA. “Unrelated” animals share more or fewer unknown ancestors than average. Reliability can increase if genomic (G) replace traditional (A) relationships
