Multistage selection for genetic gain by orthogonal transformation. [PDF]
Abstract An exact transformed culling method for any number of traits or stages of selection with explicit solution for multistage selection is described in this paper. This procedure does not need numerical integration and is suitable for obtaining either desired genetic gains for a variable proportion selected or optimum aggregate ...

A survey of genetic improvement search spaces [PDF]
Genetic Improvement (GI) uses automated search to improve existing software. Most GI work has focused on empirical studies that successfully apply GI to improve software's running time, fix bugs, add new features, etc. There has been little research into

Estimation of genetic variation in residual variance in female and male broiler chickens [PDF]
In breeding programs, robustness of animals and uniformity of end product can be improved by exploiting genetic variation in residual variance. Residual variance can be defined as environmental variance after accounting for all identifiable effects.

Selection of parental lines for plant breeding via genomic prediction
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 ...

Genetic and phenotypic spectrum associated with IFIH1 gain‐of‐function [PDF]
IFIH1 gain-of-function has been reported as a cause of a type I interferonopathy encompassing a spectrum of autoinflammatory phenotypes including Aicardi-Goutières syndrome and Singleton Merten syndrome. Ascertaining patients through a European and North American collaboration, we set out to describe the molecular, clinical and interferon status of a ...

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.

Spatiotemporal patterns of genetic variation for growth and fertility in Scots pine [PDF]
Genetic testing plays an important role in tree breeding. Understanding basic genetic parameters for growth and fertility is a prerequisite for developing a successful breeding strategy to balance between short- and long-term gains.
