Immunology, EarlyView.A cumulative genetic score based on IgG4‐associated variants explains a substantial proportion of variance in psIgG4 levels during sustained peanut consumption, highlighting strong gene‐by‐environment interactions. Our findings suggest that early, sustained peanut consumption, in combination with genetic factors, promotes a protective immune response ...

MOLECULAR MARKER ANALYSIS OF SPIKE FERTILITY INDEX AND RELATED TRAITS IN A BREAD WHEAT RECOMBINANT INBRED LINE POPULATION [PDF]
BAG. Journal of Basic and Applied Genetics, 2019 Spike fertility index (SF) has been well established as an ecophysiological trait related to grain number per unit area and a promising selection target in wheat breeding programs. Scarce information on the molecular basis of SF is available thus far. In

Use of Cluster Analysis for Identifying Metafounders
Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In the metafounder approach, the relationship matrix of metafounders, Γ$$ \boldsymbol{\Gamma} $$ is used to transfer information on relationships between pedigree founders into the numerator relationship matrix A$$ \mathbf{A} $$, creating matrix AΓ$$ {\mathbf{A}}^{\boldsymbol{\Gamma}} $$.

Unravelling the Genetic Mechanisms of Litter Traits in a Maternal Line of Pigs
Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Reproductive traits related to litter size are the main indicators of reproductive efficiency in pig production and are continuously evaluated for the selection of maternal lines. Several environmental and genetic factors are involved with the development of these traits.
