Genome and chromosomal partitioning of genetic parameters in Canadian Holstein bulls
In this study, we used data from Canadian Holstein proven bulls to investigate changes in genetic parameters over time under a multiple trait animal model including fat yield, age at first service, calving to first service, and body condition score. Using genomic information, we partitioned the genetic parameters at chromosomal level and, further, explored the relationships within and between chromosomes as well as per genomic windows.
Goals:
- Investigate changes in genetic parameters over time
- Partitione the genetic parameters at chromosomal level
- Explored the relationships within and between chromosomes
Background
Postdoctoral researcher in Animal Breeding at the University of Guelph, with broad experience in quantitative and genomic analyses, working with large datasets and statistical software. Experience in the investigation, interpretation, and application of genetic data for the implementation and support of commercial breeding programs.

Hobbies and personal interests
I like outdoor activities like playing soccer, blackball, and cycling. I also enjoy reading and watch movies, especially during the cold days.
