Evaluating the use of statistical and machine learning methods for estimating breed composition of purebred and crossbred animals in thirteen cattle breeds using genomic information

Frontiers in Genetics, 2023
Introduction: The ability to accurately predict breed composition using genomic information has many potential uses including increasing the accuracy of genetic evaluations, optimising mating plans and as a parameter for genotype quality control.

Prediction of haplotypes for ungenotyped animals and its effect on marker-assisted breeding value estimation [PDF]

, 2010
Background: In livestock populations, missing genotypes on a large proportion of animals are a major problem to implement the estimation of marker-assisted breeding values using haplotypes.

A Genome-Wide Association Study for Calving Interval in Holstein Dairy Cows Using Weighted Single-Step Genomic BLUP Approach

Animals, 2020
Simple Summary Reproductive performance is an important factor, which determines productive life and drives culling decisions in dairy herds. There are strong motives for including reproductive performance in genetic selection programs of dairy cows ...

Forecasting New Employment Using Nonrepresentative Online Job Advertisements With an Application to the Italian and EU Labor Market

Journal of Forecasting, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Using online job advertisement data improves the timeliness and granularity depth of analysis in the labor market in domains not covered by official data. Specifically, its variation over time may be used as an anticipator of official employment variations.

Software Selegen-REML/BLUP: a useful tool for plant breeding

, 2016
The software Selegen-REML/BLUP uses mixed models, and was developed to optimize the routine of plant breeding programs. It addresses the following plants categories: allogamous, automagous, of mixed mating system, and of clonal propagation.

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

, 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.

Integrative Analysis of Plasma Proteome and Genome Reveals Novel Drug Targets for Chronic Rhinosinusitis and Nasal Polyps

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) and nasal polyps (NP) are chronic inflammatory conditions with unsatisfactory treatment outcomes due to frequent recurrence of refractory disease. Identifying new therapeutic targets is essential. Methods We conducted a proteome‐wide Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis by integrating genome‐wide ...

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

Czech 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
