Genetic correlations in mutation processes [PDF]
We study the role of phylogenetic trees on correlations in mutation processes. Generally, correlations decay exponentially with the generation number. We find that two distinct regimes of behavior exist. For mutation rates smaller than a critical rate, the underlying tree morphology is almost irrelevant, while mutation rates higher than this critical ...

Genetic parameters and correlations of related feed efficiency, growth, and carcass traits in Hanwoo beef cattle [PDF]
Objective This study aimed to estimate the genetic parameters and genetic correlations for related feed efficiency, growth, and carcass traits in Hanwoo cattle. Methods Phenotypic data from 15,279 animals born between 1989 and 2015 were considered.

AN EXPERIMENTAL EVALUATION OF GENETIC CORRELATION [PDF]
ABSTRACT Heritability and genetic correlations realized from both single-trait and antagonistic index selection were compared with paternal half-sib estimates. Primary attention was focused on the genetic correlation between six-week body weight and six-week tail length.

A COMPARISON OF GENETIC AND PHENOTYPIC CORRELATIONS [PDF]
Genetic variances and correlations lie at the center of quantitative evolutionary theory. They are often difficult to estimate, however, due to the large samples of related individuals that are required. I investigated the relationship of genetic- and phenotypic-correlation magnitudes and patterns in 41 pairs of matrices drawn from the literature in ...

Genetic relationship between purebred and synthetic pigs for growth performance using single step method [PDF]
Objective The objective of this study was to estimate the genetic correlation (rpc) of growth performance between purebred (Duroc and Korean native) and synthetic (WooriHeukDon) pigs using a single-step method.

On the Sampling Variance of Intraclass Correlations and Genetic Correlations [PDF]
Abstract Widely used standard expressions for the sampling variance of intraclass correlations and genetic correlation coefficients were reviewed for small and large sample sizes. For the sampling variance of the intraclass correlation, it was shown by simulation that the commonly used expression, derived using a first-order Taylor ...

Genetic parameters of traits at the juvenile stage of different assai palm tree progenies [PDF]
: The objective of this work was to estimate genetic parameters of traits at the juvenile stage of different assai palm (Euterpe oleracea) tree progenies, as well as to select among and within the most promising for fruit production.
