The phrase "across multiple breeds" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing variations, characteristics, or studies that involve different breeds of animals, typically in contexts related to genetics, behavior, or breeding practices.
Example: "The research findings indicate that certain traits can be observed across multiple breeds of dogs, suggesting a common genetic influence."
Alternatives: "among various breeds" or "throughout different breeds".
As these coat phenotypes are fixed within breeds, they demonstrate the power and precision of WES for mapping across multiple breeds.
The assay also generated additional candidate SNP for parentage testing that have high MAF across multiple breeds.
We propose that using SNP technologies to discern the molecular basis for traits and diseases can be successfully accomplished across multiple breeds as well as within single breeds and that this approach is especially useful for traits that are homozygous within breeds and have undergone strong selection as breed-defining characteristics.
However, Saatchi et al. [ 60] identified QTL of growth and production traits with consistent effects across multiple breeds.
Prediction across multiple breeds should benefit from NGS data due to an increased persistence in accuracy over generations, compared to array-based predictions [ 3].
This study identified a large number of SNPs that were strongly associated with calving performance traits in dairy and beef cattle and across multiple breeds.
In this paper, we investigate in detail the mapping power and precision of this LD-based WES approach within the Poodle breed and for fixed traits across multiple dog breeds.
This concept is supported given the high incidence among mixed breeds [ 2] and the recent determination that large haplotype regions are shared across multiple dog breeds suggesting that genetic liability predisposition may likewise be shared [ 21].
Previous reports across multiple dairy breeds have similarly found that the NZ population is genetically different from other dairy cattle populations [ 18- 21].
de Roos et al. [ 7, 8] reported that the phase of LD between adjacent markers on the 50 K Bovine SNP chip frequently differed among B. taurus cattle breeds, which means that the power of association studies based on the 50 K chip will be reduced when using multiple breeds because the LD between SNPs and QTL is unlikely to be conserved across breeds.
Data were from multiple breeds, the main breeds being Merino, White Suffolk, Border Leicester and Poll Dorset.
