Invasion and effective size of graph-structured populations. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2018 Population structure can strongly affect evolutionary dynamics. The most general way to describe population structures are graphs. An important observable on evolutionary graphs is the probability that a novel mutation spreads through the entire ...

Population Size in Evolutionary Biology Is More Than the Effective Size [PDF]
Evolutionary ApplicationsIn population genetics idealized Wright‐Fisher (WF) populations are generally considered equivalent to real populations with regard to the major evolutionary processes that influence genotype and allele frequencies.

Ancestry-specific recent effective population size in the Americas. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2018 Populations change in size over time due to factors such as population growth, migration, bottleneck events, natural disasters, and disease. The historical effective size of a population affects the power and resolution of genetic association studies ...

Genealogical information analysis of Gyr and Nelore cattle from Costa Rica [PDF]
Ciência Rural, 2023 : The objectives were to analyze the genealogical information of Gyr (GY) and Nelore (NL) cattle from Costa Rica. Analyzed: pedigree integrity (GY, 13272; NL, 18153); number of complete, maximum traced and equivalent complete generations; inbreeding (FI);

Genetic variability of Guzerat cattle raised in northern Brazil, based on pedigree analysis
Arquivo Brasileiro de Medicina Veterinária e Zootecnia, 2022 Genealogical data comprised 45,711 animals born between 1901 and 2016, with 48,127 animals in the pedigree file. Population structure was analyzed in terms of pedigree completeness, individual inbreeding coefficient (F), generation interval (L), rate of ...

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 ...
