Sister-to-sister oocyte donation: couples’ experiences with regard to genetic ties [PDF]
Objective: This study aimed to gain an in-depth understanding of the experiences of genetic ties in intrafamily oocyte donation families. Background: Previous research has shown that most mothers have a good and stable relationship with their donor ...

Estimating genetic gains for tolerance to stress combinations in tropical maize hybrids
Maize is a strategic food crop in sub-Saharan Africa. However, most maize growing tropical savannas particularly in West and Central African experience the occurrence of frequent droughts and Striga infestation, resulting in 30–100% yield losses.

Genetic optimization of quantum annealing [PDF]
The study of optimal control of quantum annealing by modulating the pace of evolution and by introducing a counterdiabatic potential has gained significant attention in recent times. In this work, we present a numerical approach based on genetic algorithms to improve the performance of quantum annealing, which evades the Landau-Zener transitions to ...

A simulations approach for meta-analysis of genetic association studies based on additive genetic model [PDF]
Genetic association studies are becoming an important component of medical research. To cite one instance, pharmacogenomics which is gaining prominence as a useful tool for personalized medicine is heavily reliant on results from genetic association studies.

High-gain nonlinear observer for simple genetic regulation process
High-gain nonlinear observers occur in the nonlinear automatic control theory and are in standard usage in chemical engineering processes. We apply such a type of analysis in the context of a very simple one-gene regulation circuit.

Selection of a Minimal Number of Significant Porcine SNPs by an Information Gain and Genetic Algorithm Hybrid Model [PDF]
A panel of large number of common Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) distributed across an entire porcine genome has been widely used to represent genetic variability of pig. With the advent of SNP-array technology, a genome-wide genetic profile of a specimen can be easily observed.
