Towards Knowledge-guided Genetic Improvement [PDF]

Proceedings of the IEEE/ACM 42nd International Conference on Software Engineering Workshops, 2020
We propose Knowledge-guided Genetic Improvement as a combination of Grammar-guided Genetic Programming with Tree-based Genetic Programming. Instead of utilizing a grammar directly, an operator graph based on that grammar is created, that is responsible for producing abstract syntax trees.

Contributions of Zea mays subspecies mexicana haplotypes to modern maize

Nature Communications, 2017
Maize was domesticated from wild lowland progenitors that co-existed with upland subspecies in Southwestern Mexico. Here Yang et al. use a meta-assembly approach to assemble an upland mexicana genome and find evidence of introgression suggesting it ...

Unravelling the genetics of non-random fertilization associated with gametic incompatibility

Scientific Reports, 2022
In the dairy industry, mate allocation is dependent on the producer’s breeding goals and the parents’ breeding values. The probability of pregnancy differs among sire-dam combinations, and the compatibility of a pair may vary due to the combination of ...

Helitron distribution in Brassicaceae and whole Genome Helitron density as a character for distinguishing plant species

BMC Bioinformatics, 2019
Background Helitron is a rolling-circle DNA transposon; it plays an important role in plant evolution. However, Helitron distribution and contribution to evolution at the family level have not been previously investigated.

Intraspecific variation of residual heterozygosity and its utility for quantitative genetic studies in maize

BMC Plant Biology, 2018
Background Residual heterozygosity (RH) in advanced inbred lines of plants benefits quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping studies. However, knowledge of factors affecting the genome-wide distribution of RH remains limited.

Regulation of an endophytic nitrogen-fixing bacteria GXS16 promoting drought tolerance in sugarcane

BMC Plant Biology, 2023
Background Drought limits crop growth and is an important issue in commercial sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum) production. Drought tolerance in sugarcane induced by endophytic nitrogen-fixing bacteria is a complex biological process that ranges from ...

Gut microbiota affects the estrus return of sows by regulating the metabolism of sex steroid hormones

Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology, 2023
Background Sex hormones play important roles in the estrus return of post-weaning sows. Previous studies have demonstrated a complex and bi-directional regulation between sex hormones and gut microbiota.

Characterization of novel loci controlling seed oil content in Brassica napus by marker metabolite-based multi-omics analysis

Genome Biology, 2023
Background Seed oil content is an important agronomic trait of Brassica napus (B. napus), and metabolites are considered as the bridge between genotype and phenotype for physical traits.
