Maternal and fetal genetic contribution to gestational weight gain [PDF]

International Journal of Obesity, 2017
AbstractBackgroundClinical recommendations to limit gestational weight gain (GWG) imply high GWG is causally related to adverse outcomes in mother or offspring, but GWG is the sum of several inter-related complex phenotypes (maternal fat deposition and vascular expansion, placenta, amniotic fluid and fetal growth).

Model-based controller design for a plastic film extrusion process [PDF]

, 2010
This paper reports the development and implementation of a model-based cross-directional controller for plastic film extrusion and other web-forming processes. The controller design has a similar structure to that of internal model control (IMC) with the

Genetic variability and association studies in half-sib progenies of Puvarasu (Thespesia populnea L. Sol. ex. Correa) in coastal regions of Thiruvarur District, Tamil Nadu

Electronic Journal of Plant Breeding, 2018
Twelve-month-old superior 20 half-sib progenies of Thespesiapopulnea were evaluated nine months after planting for genetic variability, heritability, genetic gain, correlation and path analysis at Perugavalthan, Thiruvarur District, Tamil Nadu during ...

Fine-grained timing using genetic programming [PDF]

, 2010
In previous work, we have demonstrated that it is possible to use Genetic Programming to minimise the resource consumption of software, such as its power consumption or execution time. In this paper, we investigate the extent to which Genetic Programming

Controlling Coancestry and Thereby Future Inbreeding by Optimum-Contribution Selection Using Alternative Genomic-Relationship Matrices

Frontiers in Genetics, 2020
We tested the consequences of using alternative genomic relationship matrices to predict genomic breeding values (GEBVs) and control of coancestry in optimum contribution selection, where the relationship matrix used to calculate GEBVs was not ...

Selection of parental lines for plant breeding via genomic prediction

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
A set of superior parental lines is imperative for the development of high-performing inbred lines in any biparental crossing program for crops. The main objectives of this study are to (a) develop a genomic prediction approach to identify superior ...

A Unified Model of Codon Reassignment in Alternative Genetic Codes [PDF]

, 2005
Many modified genetic codes are found in specific genomes in which one or more codons have been reassigned to a different amino acid from that in the canonical code.

Hybrid Aspen Performance and Genetic Gains

Northern Journal of Applied Forestry, 1993
Abstract The aspen hybrid breeding program has been active in the Lake States since 1955. This study summarizes long-term performance of aspen hybrids in six locations in Wisconsin and Upper Michigan. Interspecific hybrids of native bigtooth aspen and quaking aspen with other poplar species show improved growth when compared with native ...

Genomic Breeding Programs Realize Larger Benefits by Cooperation in the Presence of Genotype × Environment Interaction Than Conventional Breeding Programs

Frontiers in Genetics, 2020
Genotype × environment interaction (G × E) is of increasing importance for dairy cattle breeders due to international multiple-environment selection of animals as well as the differentiation of production environments within countries.

Human genetic admixture through the lens of population genomics [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
Over the last fifty years, geneticists have made great strides in understanding how our species' evolutionary history gave rise to current patterns of human genetic diversity classically summarized by Lewontin in his 1972 paper, 'The Apportionment of Human Diversity'.
