A method to optimize selection on multiple identified quantitative trait loci
A mathematical approach was developed to model and optimize selection on multiple known quantitative trait loci (QTL) and polygenic estimated breeding values in order to maximize a weighted sum of responses to selection over multiple generations.

R-ISSR As Marker Assisted Selection For Drought Tolerance In Sugarcane [PDF]
Sugarcane is one of the most important crops in the world for its syrup and by-products. Eight sugarcane genotypes (i.e.G.T.54-9, G84-47, Sp 80-32-80, F.153, Co.997, BOT-41, Co.775, and F.161) were kindly provided by Sugar Crops Research Institute (SCRI),

Towards marker assisted selection in livestock [PDF]
In recent years, genomic tools have become available for most livestock species and are now being used routinely to map quantitative trait loci underlying the genetic variance for numerous economically important traits. Fine-mapping methods are being devised to refine the initially coarse map positions of the quantitative trait loci to the point ...

ABSTRACT Introduction Hyperlipidemia is a major risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Although statins are the cornerstone of lipid‐lowering therapy, their use may be limited in some patients by adverse effects. This study evaluated the possible impact of non‐drug treatment using double‐filtration plasmapheresis (DFPP) on CD14+

Degradation mechanism of the von Willebrand factor A2 domain by nattokinase
Nattokinase, a natto‐derived protease, exhibits potent antithrombotic effects. This study demonstrates that nattokinase directly cleaves the von Willebrand factor (vWF) A2 domain in vitro. Unlike the native regulator ADAMTS13, nattokinase degrades folded vWF independently of shear stress.
