Global assessment of effective population sizes: consistent taxonomic differences in meeting the 50/500 rule

bioRxiv, 2023
Effective population size (Ne) is a particularly useful metric for conservation as it affects genetic drift, inbreeding and adaptive potential within populations.

Alveolar Soft Part Sarcoma in Pediatric and Young Adult Patients: A Report From the Children's Oncology Group Study ARST0332

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Alveolar soft part sarcoma (ASPS) is a rare soft tissue sarcoma occurring most commonly in adolescence and young adulthood. Methods We present the clinical characteristics, treatments, and outcomes of patients with newly diagnosed ASPS enrolled on the Children's Oncology Group study ARST0332.

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.

Solution of an infection model near threshold

, 2007
We study the Susceptible-Infected-Recovered model of epidemics in the vicinity of the threshold infectivity. We derive the distribution of total outbreak size in the limit of large population size $N$.

Implementing Health‐Related Quality of Life Assessment in Pediatric Oncology: A Feasibility Study

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background There is growing interest in embedding health‐related quality of life (HRQoL) assessment and patient‐reported outcome measures (PROMs) within clinical cancer care. This study evaluated the feasibility, acceptability, and usability of implementing an electronic PROM (ePROM) platform to measure HRQoL in children with cancer ...

POPULATION STRUCTURE AND EFFECTIVE SIZE OF A LIZARD POPULATION [PDF]

Evolution, 1965
Sewall Wright, R. A. Fisher, and others have shown the influence of population size on the fluctuation in gene frequencies but have disagreed on the explanation for it. The ratio of the effective population number to the actual number is a measure of the extent to which parents make unequal contributions to succeeding generations.

Treatment Decision‐Making Roles and Preferences Among Adolescents and Young Adults With Cancer

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Decision‐making (DM) dynamics between adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with cancer, parents, and oncologists remain underexplored in diverse populations. We examined cancer treatment DM preferences among an ethnically and socioeconomically diverse group of AYAs and their parents.

A new and almost perfectly accurate approximation of the eigenvalue effective population size of a dioecious population: comparisons with other estimates and detailed proofs

Peer Community Journal, 2023
The effective population size is an important concept in population genetics. It corresponds to a measure of the speed at which genetic drift affects a given population.

Large Global Effective Population Sizes in Paramecium [PDF]

Molecular Biology and Evolution, 2006
The genetic effective population size (N(e)) of a species is an important parameter for understanding evolutionary dynamics because it mediates the relative effects of selection. However, because most N(e) estimates for unicellular organisms are derived either from taxa with poorly understood species boundaries or from host-restricted pathogens and ...
