Assuming that selection in closed herds can promote reduction in additive genetic variance, multiple regression models were used to estimate this change in additive genetic (co)variance component, over the years when the selection was done.

L'Uso dell'analisi multicaratteriale nella stima dell'ereditabilità della curva di lattazione in bovine da latte [PDF]
The heritability estimation of the shape of the lactation curve is quite complex. However, it now seems to be resolvable thanks to a combination of two mathematical methods which up to now have been developed indipendently.

Causal relationships between milk quality and coagulation properties in Italian Holstein-Friesian dairy cattle [PDF]
Background: Recently, selection for milk technological traits was initiated in the Italian dairy cattle industry based on direct measures of milk coagulation properties (MCP) such as rennet coagulation time (RCT) and curd firmness 30 min after rennet ...

Defining Roles in Pediatric Palliative Care: Perspectives From Oncology and Palliative Care Teams
ABSTRACT Background Early integration of pediatric palliative care (PPC) is associated with improved symptom management, quality of life, and healthcare utilization for children with cancer. Despite this, variation persists in how PPC is understood, operationalized, and integrated within pediatric oncology programs. In particular, ambiguity surrounding

Estimates of genetic variance components in asparagus hybrids in two cultivation systems
In order to determine the genetic variance components and heritability of six pistillate and six asparagus elite plants, 18 hybrids were evaluated for yield traits in two cultivation systems (blanched and green asparagus) in two harvest periods.

Estimates of (co)variance components and genetic parameters for growth traits in Suffolk lambs
The study aimed to estimate the components of (co)variance and heritability for weights at birth (BW), weaning (WW) and 180 days of age (W180), as well as the average daily gains from birth to weaning (ADG1), birth to 180 days of age (ADG2) and weaning ...

The use of general and specific combining abilities in a context of gene expression relevant to plant breeding [PDF]
Many common traits are believed to be a composite reflection of multiple genetic and environmental factors. Recent advances suggest that subtle variations in the regulation of gene expression may contribute to quantitative traits.

2D association and integrative omics analysis in rice provides systems biology view in trait analysis. [PDF]
The interactions among genes and between genes and environment contribute significantly to the phenotypic variation of complex traits and may be possible explanations for missing heritability.

ABSTRACT Background Survivors of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) often exhibit early deficits in muscle and movement competence, which can compromise long‐term health. Integrative neuromuscular training (INT), a multifaceted approach combining fundamental movement activities with strength exercises, may help address these deficits during ...

Variance components for body weight in Japanese quails (Coturnix japonica)
The objective of this study was to estimate the variance components for body weight in Japanese quails by Bayesian procedures. The body weight at hatch (BWH) and at 7 (BW07), 14 (BW14), 21 (BW21) and 28 days of age (BW28) of 3,520 quails was recorded ...
