Modern improvement of complex traits in agricultural species relies on successful associations of heritable molecular variation with observable phenotypes. Historically, this pursuit has primarily been based on easily measurable genetic markers.

Equine models in translational medicine: A comparative approach to human health

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
This diagram summarizes and contrasts rodent and equine models, outlining their strengths, limitations, and applications. Horses offer naturally occurring diseases, genetic and physiological similarities to humans, and suitability for longitudinal and clinical‐scale studies.

Heritability estimates of first lactation 300-day milk yield under single versus multi-trait animal models in Phule Triveni cattle

Indian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2016
First lactation records of 493 Phule Triveni cows sired by 55 bulls on production traits, viz. first lactation 300- day or less milk yield (FL300DMY), first lactation length (FLL), first dry period (FDP) and reproduction traits like age at first calving

Genetic prediction of blood cell reactivity and its potential causal influence on bone continuity and density disorders

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
We applied Mendelian randomization to explore causal links between blood cell traits and skeletal disorders. Using genetic instruments from large‐scale summary statistics, we assessed effects on bone continuity, density, and structural integrity. Sensitivity and reverse analyses confirmed robust associations, highlighting potential shared biological ...

Technobiological Pathways for High‐CO₂ Capture Using Micro‐/Macroalgae: Genetic Engineering, Process Automation, and Value‐Added Bioproducts

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions have emerged as one of the most critical drivers of climate change; this is primarily due to high concentrations and long atmospheric life of carbon dioxide (CO2). For a significant amount of time, various biological processes such as microalgal cultivation, cyanobacterial systems, photosynthetic microorganisms ...

Parent-offspring regression to estimate the heritability of an HIV-1 trait in a realistic setup

Retrovirology, 2017
Background Parent-offspring (PO) regression is a central tool to determine the heritability of phenotypic traits; i.e., the relative extent to which those traits are controlled by genetic factors.

A detailed redescription of a skeletally immature ‘Redondasaurus’ suggests ontogenetic transformations in the taxon mirror phytosaurian morphological evolution

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The study of morphological evolution is fundamentally tied to ontogeny, yet studies of these heterochronic processes in the fossil record are rare. Fossils belonging to an ontogenetic series are difficult to assign to an ontogenetic stage due to inconsistent proxies for skeletal ages, challenging to taxonomically assign due to morphological ...

Rethinking brachycephaly: Anatomical implications and health considerations in lagomorphs

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Brachycephaly in domestic rabbits is increasingly perceived by welfare organizations as associated with significant health complications, particularly oral pathologies. Despite this perception, comparative anatomical research into rabbit brachycephaly is limited compared to that of dogs and cats, compelling an in‐depth examination of its ...

Comparative Study of Single-Trait and Multi-Trait Genomic Prediction Models

Animals
Conventional genomic selection models trait individually, neglecting complex trait interactions. Multi-trait models address this by considering genetic correlations, thus improving breeding value accuracy.

The Human Microbiome and the Missing Heritability Problem

Frontiers in Genetics, 2017
The “missing heritability” problem states that genetic variants in Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) cannot completely explain the heritability of complex traits.
