We suggest that the temperature sensitive (ts) nature of SC assembly may contribute to fitness and adaptation capacity in C. elegans by enabling meiotic disruption in response to environmental change, thereby increasing the production of male progeny available for outcrossing.
A total of 46 progeny from family Br5 were screened (more than 400 loci having been previously mapped for this panel (SalMap project, [ 66]), while 31 progeny available for family Br5/2 were genotyped.

Consequently, these dogs achieved higher accuracy as more progeny were available upon which to make accurate estimates.
However, it is a major prerequisite that prenatal losses are negligible, that the genotype is expressed at the time of examination, and that progeny is available for examination.
In contrast to classical sire models, the relationship among sires was ignored, which could be done because there was much progeny information available for each sire, and hence, the sire estimates were largely influenced by the progeny records and only very little by the pedigree.
It was found that the FB lines all had high hatch rates and produced roughly equal numbers of male and female progeny (data available on request), suggesting that the female bias in these lines may not be due to the presence of a male-killer.
QTL mapping strategies can easily accommodate hypotheses about sex-specificity of genetic variants, assuming a sufficient number of male and female progeny are available, through the use of appropriate statistical models that accommodate interaction terms, such as regression models where a phenotype is taken as a dependent variable and genotype is an independent or predictor variable.
Therefore, new maps can be quickly generated when new progenies are available.
The POLLED genotype of each polled bull based on progeny testing was available from the respective breeding organizations.
In some cases, mainly for older sires for which more progeny information is available, there was an increase in accuracy of PTA when the S-MGS model was fitted as opposed to the animal model.
To assess the ability to predict breeding values of young bulls based on SNP data before progeny data were available, animals born before 1998 (N = 1,239) were included in the training set.
