How does the strength of selection influence genetic correlations?
bioRxiv, 2020 Genetic correlations between traits can strongly impact evolutionary responses to selection, and may thus impose constraints on adaptation. Theoretical and empirical work has made it clear that, without strong linkage, genetic correlations at ...

Czech Journal of Animal Science, 2018 Fish are a rich source of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFAs) and thus, they should be an integral part of human diet at least twice a week.

A large population-based investigation into the genetics of susceptibility to gastrointestinal infections and the link between gastrointestinal infections and mental illness. [PDF]
, 2020 Gastrointestinal infections can be life threatening, but not much is known about the host's genetic contribution to susceptibility to gastrointestinal infections or the latter's association with psychiatric disorders.

Simultaneous estimation of daily weight and feed intake curves for growing pigs by random regression
Animal, 2012 In this study, random regression models were used to estimate covariance functions between feed intake and BW in boars from the two breeds: the Norwegian Landrace and the Norwegian Duroc.

Environmental stress alters genetic regulation of novelty seeking in vervet monkeys. [PDF]
, 2011 Considerable attention has been paid to identifying genetic influences and gene-environment interactions that increase vulnerability to environmental stressors, with promising but inconsistent results.

Journal of Dairy Science, 2019 Greenhouse gases originating from the dairy sector, including methane (CH4), contribute to global warming. A possible strategy to reduce CH4 production is to use genetic selection. This requires genetic parameters for CH4 production and correlations with

Genomic Analysis of Milk Protein Fractions in Brown Swiss Cattle
Animals, 2020 Depending on whether milk protein fractions are evaluated qualitatively or quantitatively, different genetic outcomes may emerge. In this study, we compared the genetic parameters for the major milk protein fractions—caseins (αS1-, αS2-, &

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023 In the present work, we studied ten new productive traits in meagre (Argyrosomus regius), comprising three related to the carcass (cNiT) and seven related to morphometric (mNiT) characteristics.

Implications of avoiding overlap between training and testing data sets when evaluating genomic predictions of genetic merit [PDF]
, 2010 The aim of this study was to evaluate and quantify the importance of avoiding overlap between training and testing subsets of data when evaluating the effectiveness of predictions of genetic merit based on genetic markers.

Nature Communications, 2019 Body composition is often altered in psychiatric disorders. Using genome-wide common genetic variation data, we calculate sex-specific genetic correlations amongst body fat %, fat mass, fat-free mass, physical activity, glycemic traits and 17 psychiatric
