Random regression models for the evaluation of the growth of goats of the Anglonubian breed [PDF]
Arquivo Brasileiro de Medicina Veterinária e Zootecnia, 2020 A total of 6593 weight records collected from 796 male and female Anglo-Nubian goats aged up to 130 days, offspring from 29 sires and 225 dams, were used to compare models and estimate genetic parameters throughout the growth curve by applying random ...

Correlation of litter size traits [PDF]
Biotechnology in Animal Husbandry, 2016 Heredity and correlation of litter size traits were observed in 3693 litters, i.e. in 1622 daughters of two genotypes Swedish Landrace genotype - SL; and F1 ♀ SLxLW. The study included daughters (minimum ten daughters per sire) of 24 sires.

Genetic correlates of phenotypic heterogeneity in autism [PDF]
Nature Genetics, 2020 Abstract The substantial phenotypic heterogeneity in autism limits our understanding of its genetic aetiology. To address this gap, we investigated genetic differences between autistic individuals (N max = 12,893) based on core (i.e., social communication difficulties, and ...

GENETIC COVARIANCE OF FITNESS CORRELATES: WHAT GENETIC CORRELATIONS ARE MADE OF AND WHY IT MATTERS [PDF]
Evolution, 1991 The genetic variance-covariance matrix, G, is determined in part by functional architecture, the pathways by which variation in genotype influences phenotype. I develop a simple architectural model for G for two traits under directional selection constrained by their dependence on a common limiting resource. I assume that genetic variance is maintained
