Maternal DNA repair safeguards genome stability during the oocyte-to-embryo transition

Abstract De novo mutations are a major source of genetic variation and disease risk, yet the developmental timing and mechanisms underlying their origin require further investigation. While germ cells have traditionally been considered the primary source of these mutations, incre...

Prediction of genetic merit in Beetal goats using machine learning algorithms

Context Accurate early prediction of growth traits is essential for guiding selection decisions and accelerating genetic improvement in livestock. In Beetal goats, 6-month body weight is an important indicator of future performance, yet estimating its genetic merit traditionally...
