Comparison of north carolina designs for the study of genetic variances in okra (Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench)

Electronic Journal of Plant Breeding, 2016
The progenies developed through North Carolina Designs (NCD I, II and III) in F2 populations of okra viz., HRB-55 x Kamini (cross 1) and BO-13 x Parbhani Kranti (cross 2) were used to study the genetic variances.

Bridging the Loneliness Gap: Depression, Connectivity, and Isolation in Pediatric Oncology Patients and Their Peers

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Loneliness is associated with adverse physical and mental health outcomes and remains understudied in children and adolescents undergoing cancer therapy. Pediatric oncology patients may be at increased risk due to medical isolation and disruption of social networks.

Optimizing bulk segregant analysis of drug resistance using Plasmodium falciparum genetic crosses conducted in humanized mice

iScience, 2022
Summary: Classical malaria parasite genetic crosses involve isolation, genotyping, and phenotyping of progeny parasites, which is time consuming and laborious.

Cross-border genetic testing [PDF]

Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases, 2010
As genetic testing (GT) is now available for many rare disorders, no GT laboratory can be expert enough to provide every test. Samples are therefore sent between laboratories for testing, often across borders. Such cross-border testing raises some questions: The 2003 OECD survey of 827 molecular GT laboratories in 18 countries found that 64% of ...

Genetic draft and valley crossing [PDF]

, 2018
ABSTRACT Living systems are characterized by complex adaptations which require multiple coordinated mutations in order to function. Empirical studies of fitness landscapes that result from the many possible mutations in a gene region reveal many fitness peaks and valleys that connect them.

Humanized Mice and the Rebirth of Malaria Genetic Crosses [PDF]

Trends in Parasitology, 2020
The first experimental crosses carried out with the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum played a key role in determining the genetic loci responsible for drug resistance, virulence, invasion, growth rate, and transmission. These crosses relied on splenectomized chimpanzees to complete the liver stage of the parasite's life cycle and the ...

Early Body Mass Index z‐Score Change and Resolution of Severe Malnutrition in Children With Sickle Cell Anemia in a Low‐Income Setting: A Prospective Single‐Arm Extension Study

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Children with sickle cell anemia (SCA) in low‐income settings are at risk of severe malnutrition, but optimal nutritional management has not been established. We evaluated an intensified ready‐to‐use therapeutic food (RUTF) regimen in children with persistent severe malnutrition after initial treatment and assessed whether early ...

The quantitative genetic basis of sex ratio variation in Nasonia vitripennis : a QTL study [PDF]

, 2010
Our understanding of how natural selection should shape sex allocation is perhaps more developed than for any other trait. However, this understanding is not matched by our knowledge of the genetic basis of sex allocation.

The power and promise of genetic mapping from Plasmodium falciparum crosses utilizing human liver-chimeric mice

Communications Biology, 2021
Button-Simons et al. report on two different genetic crosses of Plasmodium falciparum derived from Asian and African origin parasites, and generate large numbers of recombinant progeny.

Impact of Radiation Therapy on Physical and Psychosocial Health of Adolescents and Young Adults: A Joint Report From the Children's Oncology Group AYA and Radiation Oncology Committees

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rates of cancer among adolescents and young adults (AYA), age 15–39 years, are increasing. Consequently, radiation oncologists are treating more AYAs who have diagnoses spanning both pediatric and adult practices. Compared to pediatric and older adult patients, AYAs face a unique set of challenges.
