Maximizing Genetic Response in Breeding Schemes of Dairy Cattle with Constraints on Variance of Response [PDF]

, 1994
Predicted genetic progress in dairy cattle breeding schemes was maximized with the variances of selection responses constrained, i.e., restricted effective population sizes. This restriction would also lead to schemes with acceptable rates of inbreeding (

Ewing Sarcoma in Infants and Children Under 2 Years of Age: A French Retrospective Study

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ewing sarcoma, the second most common primary bone cancer in children, requires intensive treatment that may lead to significant long‐term sequelae, particularly in infants. We retrospectively analyzed data from 1621 French patients treated between 1988 and 2015 within the EW88/93/97 or EE99 trials, focusing on 17 infants diagnosed before 24 ...

Response to mass selection when an identified major gene is segregating [PDF]

, 1998
A deterministic model to predict response with mass selection when a major locus is segregating is presented. The model uses a selection index framework in which the weight of the different components included in the index are adjusted to describe the ...
