Comparison of random regression models, traditional animal model and with the inclusion of molecular markers in the estimation of genetic parameters in Colombian Holstein cattle

open access: yesSemina: Ciências Agrárias, 2021
The use of molecular markers to identify desirable genes in animal production is known as marker-assisted selection. The traditional genetic evaluation model uses the BLUP methodology; when genetic markers are included in the evaluation model, the ...

Singular spaces, groupoids and metrics of positive scalar curvature [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
We define and study, under suitable assumptions, the fundamental class, the index class and the rho class of a spin Dirac operator on the regular part of a spin stratified pseudomanifold.

To stay or to roam? Behavioural type influences trade‐offs in male wild turkey survival

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Animals develop familiarity with specific areas through repeated use, gaining detailed knowledge of local conditions, such as food availability, predator presence, and landscape features, which can directly impact fitness.

Analysis of alternative models treating herd × year effects as fixed or random

open access: yesCzech Journal of Animal Science, 2004
The analysis was conducted of the national database of station tests carried out between May 1996- February 2001, using the Hungarian Large White breed. Days of test, total amount of consumed feed and valuable cuts were taken into the analysis. Using the

Estimation of individual animal SNP-BLUP reliability using full Monte Carlo sampling

open access: yesJDS Communications, 2021
Calculation of individual animal reliability of estimated genomic breeding value by SNP-BLUP requires inversion of the mixed model equations (MME). When the SNP-BLUP model includes a residual polygenic (RPG) effect, the size of the MME will be at least ...

Enhancing Genome-Enabled Prediction by Bagging Genomic BLUP

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
We examined whether or not the predictive ability of genomic best linear unbiased prediction (GBLUP) could be improved via a resampling method used in machine learning: bootstrap aggregating sampling ("bagging"). In theory, bagging can be useful when the predictor has large variance or when the number of markers is much larger than sample size ...

Implications of avoiding overlap between training and testing data sets when evaluating genomic predictions of genetic merit [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The aim of this study was to evaluate and quantify the importance of avoiding overlap between training and testing subsets of data when evaluating the effectiveness of predictions of genetic merit based on genetic markers.

Intra‐ and Interspecific Effects on Spatio‐Temporal Behavior of Common Commensal Rodent Species

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This study revealed major findings on spatio‐temporal behavior of commensal rodents on a pig farm showing the influence of interspecific dominance on movement behavior and the resulting species‐specific ecological adaptations. Additionally, rodents tend to stay in their home ranges and migration to other stable buildings is only rare.

Incorporating kernelized multi-omics data improves the accuracy of genomic prediction

open access: yesJournal of Animal Science and Biotechnology, 2022
Background Genomic selection (GS) has revolutionized animal and plant breeding after the first implementation via early selection before measuring phenotypes.

Real-Time Estimation of the Distribution of Brake Response Times for an Individual Driver Using Vehicular Ad Hoc Network

open access: yes, 2014
Adapting the functioning of the collision warning systems to the specific drivers' characteristics is of great benefit to drivers. For example, by customizing collision warning algorithms we can minimize false alarms, thereby reducing injuries and deaths
