Is Left Ventricular Noncompaction a Trait, Phenotype, or Disease? [PDF]
The question is is left ventricular noncompaction (LVNC) a trait, phenotype, or disease? By trait, we refer to a discrete and measurable characteristic like eye color. The term phenotype expands this definition to include multiple observable traits derived from diverse genetic factors (genotype) and to recognize additional roles for the environment in ...

A synthesis of bacterial and archaeal phenotypic trait data [PDF]
AbstractA synthesis of phenotypic and quantitative genomic traits is provided for bacteria and archaea, in the form of a scripted, reproducible workflow that standardizes and merges 26 sources. The resulting unified dataset covers 14 phenotypic traits, 5 quantitative genomic traits, and 4 environmental characteristics for approximately 170,000 strain ...

Technical note: Prediction of liveweight from linear conformation traits in dairy cattle [PDF]
The objectives of this study were to derive phenotypic and genetic prediction equations of liveweight from linear conformation traits, and estimate genetic and phenotypic parameters for these traits.

Multiple-trait quantitative trait locus mapping with incomplete phenotypic data [PDF]
Conventional multiple-trait quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping methods must discard cases (individuals) with incomplete phenotypic data, thereby sacrificing other phenotypic and genotypic information contained in the discarded cases. Under standard assumptions about the missing-data mechanism, it is possible to exploit these cases.We present an ...

Prenatal maternal effects on body condition score, female fertility, and milk yield of dairy cows [PDF]
In this study, maternal effects were described as age of dam at first and second calving, first-lactation body condition score (BCS) of the dam during gestation, and milk yield of the dam.

The structure of phenotypic personality traits. [PDF]
This personal historical article traces the development of the Big-Five factor structure, whose growing acceptance by personality researchers has profoundly influenced the scientific study of individual differences. The roots of this taxonomy lie in the lexical hypothesis and the insights of Sir Francis Galton, the prescience of L. L.

Predicting phenotypes of beef eating quality traits
Introduction:Phenotype predictions of beef eating quality for individual animals could be used to allocate animals to longer and more expensive feeding regimes as they enter the feedlot if they are predicted to have higher eating quality, and to sort carcasses into consumer or market value categories.

From mice to humans—divergent strategies for intestinal homeostasis and regeneration
Recent advances such as organoid genome editing, xenotransplantation, imaging, and whole‐genome sequencing have enabled direct studies of human intestinal stem cells (ISCs). These studies reveal species‐specific features, including slower ISC proliferation, distinct injury responses, slower somatic mutation accumulation in humans, and an inverse ...

Genetic and phenotypic relationships among endocrine and traditional fertility traits and production traits in Holstein-Friesian dairy cows [PDF]
The objective of this study was to estimate the heritability of a number of traditional and endocrine fertility traits in addition to d-56 predicted milk yield (MY56), and the genetic and phenotypic correlations between these traits.
