The Effect of Using Organic or Conventional Sires on Genetic Gain in Organic Pigs: A Simulation Study

Animals, 2022
Current organic pig-breeding programs use pigs from conventional breeding populations. However, there are considerable differences between conventional and organic production systems.

Benefits of testing in both bio-secure and production environments in genomic selection breeding programs for commercial broiler chicken

Genetics Selection Evolution, 2018
Background A breeding program for commercial broiler chicken that is carried out under strict biosecure conditions can show reduced genetic gain due to genotype by environment interactions (G × E) between bio-secure (B) and commercial production (C ...

Segregation between breeds and local breed proportions in genetic and genomic models for crossbreds

Genetics Selection Evolution, 2023
Background The breeding value of a crossbred individual can be expressed as the sum of the contributions from each of the contributing pure breeds.

Stressful Events Reported by Childhood Cancer Survivors and Community Controls From the St. Jude Lifetime (SJLIFE) Cohort: A Mixed Method Study

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Characterizing stressful events reported by childhood cancer survivors experienced throughout the lifespan may help improve trauma‐informed care relevant to the survivor experience. Methods Participants included 2552 survivors (54% female; 34 years of age) and 469 community controls (62% female; 33 years of age) from the St.

RETRACTED ARTICLE: Dissecting closely linked association signals in combination with the mammalian phenotype database can identify candidate genes in dairy cattle

BMC Genetics, 2018
Background Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have been successfully implemented in cattle research and breeding. However, moving from the associations to identifying the causal variants and revealing underlying mechanisms have proven complicated. In

Imaging of High‐Risk Neuroblastoma: Recommendations From SIOPEN Radiology and Nuclear Medicine Specialty Committees

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Neuroblastoma is the most common extracranial solid tumor in early childhood. Its clinical behavior is highly variable, ranging from spontaneous regression to fatal outcome despite intensive treatment. The International Society of Pediatric Oncology Europe Neuroblastoma Group (SIOPEN) Radiology and Nuclear Medicine Specialty Committees ...

Impact of rare and low-frequency sequence variants on reliability of genomic prediction in dairy cattle

Genetics Selection Evolution, 2018
Background Availability of whole-genome sequence data for a large number of cattle and efficient imputation methodologies open a new opportunity to include rare and low-frequency variants (RLFV) in genomic prediction in dairy cattle.

Strategies Using Genomic Selection to Increase Genetic Gain in Breeding Programs for Wheat

Frontiers in Genetics, 2020
Conventional wheat-breeding programs involve crossing parental lines and subsequent selfing of the offspring for several generations to obtain inbred lines. Such a breeding program takes more than 8 years to develop a variety.

Exploring Preferences for a Digital Single‐Session Intervention for Adolescent Siblings of Youth With Cancer

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Adolescent siblings of children with cancer are at elevated risk for psychosocial problems. Unfortunately, various barriers such as limited family time and resources, conflicting schedules, and psychosocial staffing constraints at cancer centers hinder sibling access to support.

SNP markers associated with body size and pelt length in American mink (Neovison vison)

BMC Genetics, 2018
Background Identification of genes underlying production traits is a key aim of the mink research community. Recent availability of genomic tools have opened the possibility for faster genetic progress in mink breeding.
