Effective population size and Ne/N ratio for two populations of Northern chamois (Rupicapra rupicapra) on the edge of the species’ distribution range

BMC Ecology and Evolution
Background Effective population size (Ne) is a fundamental parameter in conservation genetics, providing relevant information on the adaptability and long-term viability of populations. In contrast, wildlife management strategies, particularly for hunted

Guidelines for Pediatric Radiotherapy Simulation: A Report From the Children's Oncology Group Radiation Oncology Discipline

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pediatric radiation therapy presents unique challenges compared to adult treatments, including those of immobilization, potential need for sedation, and the critical importance of accurate, reproducible positioning. Additionally, heightened attention to imaging doses is necessary to minimize long‐term toxicity in survivors.

Personalized Zebrafish Models for Fusion‐Positive Pediatric Sarcomas

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Clinical sequencing efforts have revolutionized our approaches to categorizing pediatric cancers in real time. This has dramatically improved our ability to profile pediatric tumors, identify actionable vulnerabilities, and influence clinical care.

Effective population sizes in cattle, sheep, horses, pigs and goats estimated from census and herdbook data

Animal, 2016
Accurate measures of effective population sizes (Ne) in livestock require good quality data and specialized skills for their computation and analysis. Ne can be estimated by Wright’s equation Ne=4MF/(M+ F) (M, F being sires and dams, respectively), but ...

Accurate Estimation of Effective Population Size in the Korean Dairy Cattle Based on Linkage Disequilibrium Corrected by Genomic Relationship Matrix [PDF]

Asian-Australasian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2013
Linkage disequilibrium between markers or genetic variants underlying interesting traits affects many genomic methodologies. In many genomic methodologies, the effective population size (Ne) is important to assess the genetic diversity of animal ...

Paracoccidioides restrepiensis has undergone a severe population bottleneck

Revista de la Academia Colombiana de Ciencias Exactas, Físicas y Naturales, 2022
Genus Paracoccidioides now encompasses five species, P. lutzii, P. brasiliensis sensu stricto, P. americana, P. venezuelensis, and P. restrepiensis. All the paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) cases reported in Colombia have been classified as P. restrepiensis,

Harvest‐induced evolution and effective population size [PDF]

Evolutionary Applications, 2016
AbstractMuch has been written about fishery‐induced evolution (FIE) in exploited species, but relatively little attention has been paid to the consequences for one of the most important parameters in evolutionary biology—effective population size (Ne).

Health Literacy, Self‐Efficacy and Knowledge of Sickle Cell Disease Among Caregivers

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a hereditary blood disorder in which abnormal haemoglobin leads to severe anaemia, painful crises and organ failure. Caregivers’ health literacy (HL) – their ability to assess, understand and apply information, and interact with healthcare professionals – is crucial for managing children with SCD, yet ...

Pedigree analysis and inbreeding effects over morphological traits in Campolina horse population

Animal, 2018
Genetic improvement, without control of inbreeding, can go to loss of genetic variability, reducing the potential for genetic gains in the domestic populations.

Individualized Medicine in Africa: Bringing the Practice Into the Realms of Population Heterogeneity

Frontiers in Genetics, 2022
The declared aim of “personalized”, “stratified” or “precision” approaches is to place individual variation, as ascertained through genomic and various other biomarkers, at the heart of Scientific Medicine using it to predict risk of disease or response ...
