Trends in the Genetic Influences on Smoking [PDF]

Journal of Health and Social Behavior, 2010
Using twin pairs from the National Survey of Midlife Development in the United States, we estimate that 35 percent of the variance in regular smoking is due to additive genetic influences. When we disaggregate the sample by birth cohort we witness strong genetic influences on smoking for those born in the 1920s, 1930s, and 1950s, but negligible ...

Dismantling the Mantel tests [PDF]

, 2012
The simple and partial Mantel tests are routinely used in many areas of evolutionary biology to assess the significance of the association between two or more matrices of distances relative to the same pairs of individuals or demes.

Measurement of Genetic Trend

Journal of Dairy Science, 1961
Summary A method for estimating trend in genetic merit is described for a population consisting of animals sired by artificial insemination and of animals sired naturally. The contemporary comparison of unselected progeny of an artificially used sire and their naturally sired contemporaries making first records under the same conditions constitutes a

Estimation of genetic trends from 1977 to 1998 for farrowing characteristics in the French Large White breed using frozen semen

Animal, 2007
The objective of the study was to estimate genetic trends from 1977 to 1998 in the French Large White (LW) breed for stillbirth and associated traits measured at farrowing using frozen semen. Two groups of pigs (G77 and G98) were obtained by inseminating

Fat Mass and Obesity-Associated Gene (FTO) in Eating Disorders: Evidence for Association of the rs9939609 Obesity Risk Allele with Bulimia nervosa and Anorexia nervosa [PDF]

, 2012
Objective: The common single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs9939609 in the fat mass and obesity-associated gene (FTO) is associated with obesity. As genetic variants associated with weight regulation might also be implicated in the etiology of eating ...

A Quality Improvement Initiative to Standardize Pneumocystis jirovecii Pneumonia Prophylaxis in Pediatric Patients With Solid Tumors

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Pediatric patients with extracranial solid tumors (ST) receiving chemotherapy are at an increased risk for Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PJP). However, evidence guiding prophylaxis practices in this population is limited. A PJP‐related fatality at our institution highlighted inconsistent prescribing approaches and concerns about

Livestock genetic origins: Goats buck the trend [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2001
The domestic goat (Capra hircus) often is dismissed as the “poor man's cow” for its ability to thrive on meager fodder and cope with harsh environments. However, this belies the economic and archaeological importance of the species. From an agricultural standpoint, the world's 700 million goats provide reliable access to meat, milk, skins, and fiber ...
