Statistical Inference for Genetic Relatedness Based on High-Dimensional Logistic Regression [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 This paper studies the problem of statistical inference for genetic relatedness between binary traits based on individual-level genome-wide association data. Specifically, under the high-dimensional logistic regression models, we define parameters characterizing the cross-trait genetic correlation, the genetic covariance and the trait-specific genetic ...

Applications in Plant Sciences, 2022 Premise Living collections maintained for generations are at risk of diversity loss, inbreeding, and adaptation to cultivation. To address these concerns, the zoo community uses pedigrees to track individuals and implement crosses that maximize founder ...

IRREGULAR GENETIC TRANSMISSION IN TETRAHYMENA CROSSES [PDF]
Genetics, 1963 LLEN (1960) reported briefly an aberration in the breeding behavior of a Astrain (C*) of variety 1 of Tetrahymena pyriformis. Her later studies (ALLEN 1963) established the genetic parameters of the aberration and lead to the conclusion that the total genome of the C* strain is systematically excluded at conjugation.

Identification of F1 cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) progeny using microsatellite markers and capillary electrophoresis [PDF]
, 2016 Generation of genetic diversity is necessary in improving on the potential of cassava when faced with various biotic and abiotic challenges. Presently, cassava breeders are breeding for a number of traits, such as drought tolerance, early root bulking ...

Molecular parentage analysis is essential in breeding Asian seabass.
PLoS ONE, 2012 In aquaculture species, maintaining pedigree information and genetic variation in each generation is essential, but very difficult. In this study, we used nine microsatellites to genotype 2,520 offspring from four independent full-factorial crosses (10 ...

Deep Visual-Genetic Biometrics for Taxonomic Classification of Rare Species [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Visual as well as genetic biometrics are routinely employed to identify species and individuals in biological applications. However, no attempts have been made in this domain to computationally enhance visual classification of rare classes with little image data via genetics.

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2019 Predicting the usefulness of crosses in terms of expected genetic gain and genetic diversity is of interest to secure performance in the progeny and to maintain long-term genetic gain in plant breeding.

Status of cacao breeding in Cote d'Ivoire [PDF]
, 2010 Cocoa breeding in Côte-d'Ivoire was initially based on the creation and selection of bi-parental crosses (hybrid varieties) with yield as the main criterion. Since the introduction of Upper Amazon (UA) materials in 1954, hundreds of "single pair" crosses

Dendritic cells steering antigen and leukocyte traffic in lymph nodes
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Dendritic cells are key players in the activation of T cells and their commitment to effector function. In this In a Nutshell Review, we will discuss how dendritic cells guide the trafficking of antigen and leukocytes in the lymph node, thus influencing T‐cell activation processes. Dendritic cells (DCs) play a central role in initiating and shaping the

ContIG: Self-supervised Multimodal Contrastive Learning for Medical Imaging with Genetics [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 High annotation costs are a substantial bottleneck in applying modern deep learning architectures to clinically relevant medical use cases, substantiating the need for novel algorithms to learn from unlabeled data. In this work, we propose ContIG, a self-supervised method that can learn from large datasets of unlabeled medical images and genetic data ...
