Genetic trends in CIMMYT’s tropical maize breeding pipelines

Scientific Reports, 2022
AbstractFostering a culture of continuous improvement through regular monitoring of genetic trends in breeding pipelines is essential to improve efficiency and increase accountability. This is the first global study to estimate genetic trends across the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT) tropical maize breeding pipelines in ...

Sickle Cell Disease Is an Inherent Risk for Asthma in a Sibling Comparison Study

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Sickle cell disease (SCD) and asthma share a complex relationship. Although estimates vary, asthma prevalence in children with SCD is believed to be comparable to or higher than the general population. Determining whether SCD confers an increased risk for asthma remains challenging due to overlapping symptoms and the ...

Robust Tests in Genome-Wide Scans under Incomplete Linkage Disequilibrium [PDF]

, 2009
Under complete linkage disequilibrium (LD), robust tests often have greater power than Pearson's chi-square test and trend tests for the analysis of case-control genetic association studies.

Psychosocial Outcomes in Patients With Endocrine Tumor Syndromes: A Systematic Review

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction The combination of disease manifestations, the familial burden, and varying penetrance of endocrine tumor syndromes (ETSs) is unique. This review aimed to portray and summarize available data on psychosocial outcomes in patients with ETSs and explore gaps and opportunities for future research and care.

Genetic evaluation of clinical mastitis traits in Holstein cattle

Czech Journal of Animal Science, 2018
The results obtained from different models for predicting breeding values for clinical mastitis (CM) in Holstein cattle were compared. CM was recorded in 30 882 lactations of 12 793 cows in 8 herds from 1996 to 2016. CM was considered either as an all-or-

Genetic and neurophysiological correlates of the age of onset of alcohol use disorders in adolescents and young adults. [PDF]

, 2013
Discrete time survival analysis was used to assess the age-specific association of event-related oscillations (EROs) and CHRM2 gene variants on the onset of regular alcohol use and alcohol dependence.

Nutritional and Behavioral Intervention for Long‐Term Childhood Acute Leukemia Survivors With Metabolic Syndrome

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a common complication in survivors of childhood acute lymphoblastic and myeloid leukemia (AL), and a major risk factor for premature cardiovascular disease, type‐2‐diabetes, and metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD).

Linear and logistic models for multiple-breed genetic analysis of heifer fertility in Mexican Simmental–Simbrah beef cattle

Journal of Applied Animal Research, 2018
The aim of this study was to compare alternative models for the genetic evaluation of heifer fertility in Simmental–Simbrah cattle. The analyses were conducted using a database with 37,390 female birth information recorded from 1984 to 2007, and 59,018 ...

Ovule development: genetic trends and evolutionary considerations [PDF]

Sexual Plant Reproduction, 2009
Much of our current understanding of ovule development in flowering pants is derived from genetic and molecular studies performed on Arabidopsis thaliana. Arabidopsis has bitegmic, anatropous ovules, representing both the most common and the putative ancestral state among angiosperms. These studies show that key genetic determinants that act to control
