Using runs of homozygosity to detect genomic regions associated with susceptibility to infectious and metabolic diseases in dairy cows under intensive farming conditions [PDF]
Runs of homozygosity (ROH) are contiguous stretches of homozygous genome which likely reflect transmission from common ances- tors and can be used to track the inheritance of haplotypes of interest. In the present paper, ROH were extracted from 50K SNPs and used to detect regions of the genome associated with susceptibility to diseases in a population ...

Validation of Biometric Identification of Dairy Cows based on Udder NIR Images [PDF]
Identifying dairy cows with infections such as mastitis or cows on medications is an extremely important task and legally required by the FDA$'$s Pasteurized Milk Ordinance. The milk produced by these dairy cows cannot be allowed to mix with the milk from healthy cows or it risks contaminating the entire bulk tank or milk truck.

Vine copula based likelihood estimation of dependence patterns in multivariate event time data [PDF]
In many studies multivariate event time data are generated from clusters having a possibly complex association pattern. Flexible models are needed to capture this dependence. Vine copulas serve this purpose. Inference methods for vine copulas are available for complete data. Event time data, however, are often subject to right-censoring.

Network analysis reveals a potentially 'evil' alliance of opportunistic pathogens inhibited by a cooperative network in human milk bacterial communities [PDF]
The critical importance of human milk to infants and even human civilization has been well established. Although the human milk microbiome has received increasing attention with the expansion of research on the human microbiome, our understanding of the milk microbiome has been limited to cataloguing OTUs and computation of community diversity indexes.

Background Many methods for the genetic analysis of mastitis use a cross-sectional approach, which omits information on, e.g., repeated mastitis cases during lactation, somatic cell count fluctuations, and recovery process.
