Genetic relationship between purebred and synthetic pigs for growth performance using single step method [PDF]

open access: yesAnimal Bioscience, 2021
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.

A COMPARISON OF GENETIC AND PHENOTYPIC CORRELATIONS [PDF]

open access: yesEvolution, 1988
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 ...

The correlation between reading and mathematics ability at age twelve has a substantial genetic component. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Dissecting how genetic and environmental influences impact on learning is helpful for maximizing numeracy and literacy. Here we show, using twin and genome-wide analysis, that there is a substantial genetic component to children's ability in reading and ...

Genetic meta-analysis of twin birth weight shows high genetic correlation with singleton birth weight [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Birth weight (BW) is an important predictor of newborn survival and health and has associations with many adult health outcomes, including cardiometabolic disorders, autoimmune diseases and mental health. On average, twins have a lower BW than singletons

Genetic parameters and genetic and phenotypic trends of performance traits of equines from the Brazilian Army

open access: yesRevista Brasileira de Zootecnia, 2012
The objective of this research was to compare the magnitude of genetic parameters (coefficients of heritability and genetic correlation) as estimated by the Restricted Maximum Likelihood (REML) method and Bayesian Inference, and to estimate the genetic ...

On the Sampling Variance of Intraclass Correlations and Genetic Correlations [PDF]

open access: yesGenetics, 1998
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 ...

Alcohol Consumption and Risk of Common Autoimmune Inflammatory Diseases—Evidence From a Large-Scale Genetic Analysis Totaling 1 Million Individuals

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2021
Purpose: Observational studies have suggested a protective effect of alcohol intake with autoimmune disorders, which was not supported by Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses that used only a few (<20) instrumental variables.Methods: We systemically ...

Physician-Confirmed and Administrative Definitions of Stroke in UK Biobank Reflect the Same Underlying Genetic Trait

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology, 2022
BackgroundStroke in UK Biobank (UKB) is ascertained via linkages to coded administrative datasets and self-report. We studied the accuracy of these codes using genetic validation.MethodsWe compiled stroke-specific and broad cerebrovascular disease (CVD ...
