Prioritizing candidate genes for fertility in dairy cows using gene-based analysis, functional annotation and differential gene expression

BMC Genomics, 2019
Background An unfavorable genetic correlation between milk production and fertility makes simultaneous improvement of milk production and fertility difficult in cattle breeding. Rapid genetic improvement in milk production traits in dairy cattle has been

Weighting sequence variants based on their annotation increases the power of genome-wide association studies in dairy cattle

Genetics Selection Evolution, 2019
Background Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) are widely used to identify regions of the genome that harbor genetic determinants of quantitative traits.

Comparison of 16S rRNA sequencing and shotgun metagenome sequencing for estimating genotypic and phenotypic parameters of enteric methane emission in dairy cattle

Journal of Dairy Science
: Methane emissions from ruminants significantly contribute to GHG, making it crucial for sustainable livestock breeding to understand how both genetic and microbial factors influence methane production.

Estimation of variance components and prediction of breeding values based on group records from varying group sizes

Genetics Selection Evolution, 2018
Background Records on groups of individuals rather than on single individuals could be valuable for predicting breeding values (BV) of the traits that are difficult or costly to measure individually, such as feed intake in pigs or beef cattle.

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 ...

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.

Rational Use of Herbal Products in Pediatric Patients Treated With Anticancer Drugs in the European Union

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction The use of herbal medical preparation (HMP) is rising among pediatric oncology patients, often to manage treatment‐related symptoms. Their effectiveness remains uncertain, and the risk of herb–drug interactions is underestimated.

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.

Guidelines for Pediatric Radiotherapy Simulation: A Report From the Children's Oncology Group Radiation Oncology Discipline

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pediatric radiation therapy presents unique challenges compared to adult treatments, including those of immobilization, potential need for sedation, and the critical importance of accurate, reproducible positioning. Additionally, heightened attention to imaging doses is necessary to minimize long‐term toxicity in survivors.
