Genomic Prediction Ability for Novel Profitability Traits Using Different Models in Nelore Cattle
ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to assess the accuracy, bias and dispersion of genomic predictions for accumulated profitability (APF) and profit per kilogram of liveweight gain (PFT) in Nelore cattle using different prediction approaches. The dataset consisted of 3969 phenotypic records for each trait. The pedigree harboured information from 38,930

ABSTRACT In order to investigate the applicability and efficiency of genomic selection for growth and carcass traits in Nordic beef cattle, single‐step genomic BLUP (ssGBLUP) was applied in 4321 Charolais and 4532 Hereford animals with information on approximately 43,000 SNPs each.

Forecasting with Spatial Panel Data [PDF]
This paper compares various forecasts using panel data with spatial error correlation. The true data generating process is assumed to be a simple error component regression model with spatial remainder disturbances of the autoregressive or moving average

Efeito de erros de pedigree na seleção Effect of pedigree errors on the selection
Dados simulados com cinco níveis de erros de pedigree (0, 5, 10, 15 e 20%) e três herdabilidades (0,10; 0,30; e 0,60) foram usados para verificar o efeito de erros de pedigree na seleção por 10 gerações consecutivas.

Summary Southern leaf blight (SLB), caused by the necrotrophic fungus Cochliobolus heterostrophus, is a major foliar disease of maize (Zea mays) world‐wide. A genome‐wide association study was performed to dissect the genetic basis of SLB resistance in maize. Functional validation was performed using mutant and transgenic analyses.

On the performance of small-area estimators: Fixed vs. random area parameters [PDF]
Most methods for small-area estimation are based on composite estimators derived from design- or model-based methods. A composite estimator is a linear combination of a direct and an indirect estimator with weights that usually depend on unknown ...

The problem of Small Area Estimation is how to produce reliable estimates of area (domain) characteristics, when the sizes within the areas are too small to warrant the use of traditional direct survey estimates.
