Contesting Genetic Knowledge-Practices in Livestock Breeding: Biopower, Biosocial Collectivities, and Heterogeneous Resistances [PDF]
, 2012 Cattle and sheep breeders in the UK and elsewhere increasingly draw on genetic techniques in order to make breeding decisions. Many breeders support such techniques, while others argue against them for a variety of reasons, including their preference for

Higher-Order Quantum-Inspired Genetic Algorithms [PDF]
, 2014 This paper presents a theory and an empirical evaluation of Higher-Order Quantum-Inspired Genetic Algorithms. Fundamental notions of the theory have been introduced, and a novel Order-2 Quantum-Inspired Genetic Algorithm (QIGA2) has been presented ...

Genetic Evaluation of Short Stature [PDF]
The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2014 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 should play in the evaluation of a child with short stature.Evidence Acquisition:A search of PubMed ...

Genetic evaluation for three-way crossbreeding [PDF]
Genetics Selection Evolution, 2015 Commercial 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 the pedigree-based additive genetic relationship matrix is replaced by a combined relationship matrix based ...

Root Trait Variation in Lentil (Lens culinaris Medikus) Germplasm under Drought Stress
Plants, 2021 Drought is the most critical environmental factor across the continents affecting food security. Roots are the prime organs for water and nutrient uptake. Fine tuning between water uptake, efficient use and loss determines the genotypic response to water

Laser microdissection as a new approach to prefertilization genetic diagnosis [PDF]
, 2000 The genetic status of oocytes can be determined by polar body (PB) analysis. Following PB extraction, a genetic evaluation is performed. As each PB contains the complementary genetic material of the oocyte, PB analysis reveals information about its ...

Genetic Relationship Between the United States and Canadian Holstein Bull Populations [PDF]
, 1988 The average additive genetic relationship and degree of connectedness between American and Canadian Holstein AI bull populations were estimated. This project was undertaken to determine the feasibility of a joint United States-Canadian sire evaluation to
