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 ...

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 ...

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).

The Role of Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation in Ataxia‐Telangiectasia

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Ataxia‐telangiectasia (A‐T) is a DNA repair disorder characterized by neurodegeneration, immunodeficiency, and cancer predisposition. Hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is an established therapy in related disorders such as Fanconi anemia (FA) and Nijmegen breakage syndrome (NBS), but its role in A‐T is unclear.

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.

Increased Risk of Sarcomas in Children With Congenital Anomalies: Findings From the Genetic Overlap Between Anomalies and Cancer in Kids (GOBACK) Registry Linkage Study

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Pediatric sarcomas are a heterogeneous group of tumors that contribute disproportionately to cancer mortality in children. Although congenital anomalies are among the strongest known risk factors for childhood cancer, the risk of specific sarcoma subtypes among affected individuals has not yet been thoroughly evaluated. Procedure We

On the eigenvalue effective size of structured populations [PDF]

Journal of Mathematical Biology, 2014
A general theory is developed for the eigenvalue effective size (N(e)E) of structured populations in which a gene with two alleles segregates in discrete time. Generalizing results of Ewens (Theor Popul Biol 21:373-378, 1982), we characterize N(e)E in terms of the largest non-unit eigenvalue of the transition matrix of a Markov chain of allele ...
