Genetic evaluation for three-way crossbreeding [PDF]
BackgroundCommercial pig producers generally use a terminal crossbreeding system with three breeds. Many pig breeding organisations have started to use genomic selection for which genetic evaluation is often done by applying single-step methods for which

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.

Genetic evaluation of short stature. [PDF]
CONTEXT Genetics plays a major role in determining an individual's height. Although there are many monogenic disorders that lead to perturbations in growth and result in short stature, there is still no consensus as to the role that genetic diagnostics ...

The Genetic Evaluation of Dilated Cardiomyopathy. [PDF]
Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a common cause of heart failure and is the primary indication for heart transplantation. A genetic etiology can be found in 20-35% of patients with DCM, especially in those with a family history of cardiomyopathy or sudden cardiac death at an early age.

The evaluation of genetic tests [PDF]
Scientific advances in genetics and molecular biology have been very successful in advancing our knowledge of biological mechanisms in health and disease, and in catalysing a variety of technological innovations. The number of genetic tests available has consequently increased exponentially over the last few years.

Developmental Changes of Duckling Liver and Isolation of Primary Hepatocytes
The liver is the main site of fat synthesis and plays an important role in the study of fat deposition in poultry. In this study, we investigated the developmental changes of duckling livers and isolated primary duck hepatocytes.

The development of the knob in Chinese geese (Anser cygnodies) is an outcome of extensive and prolonged selection and breeding. The knob serves not only as a visual indicator of sexual maturity in geese but also holds significance as a crucial packaging ...
