Evolutionary-thinking in agricultural weed management [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Agricultural weeds evolve in response to crop cultivation. Nevertheless, the central importance of evolutionary ecology for understanding weed invasion, persistence and management in agroecosystems is not widely acknowledged.

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

open access: yesGenetics 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.

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

open access: yesAnimals, 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

open access: yesGenetics 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

open access: yesGenetics 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.

Personalized Selumetinib Dosing in Pediatric Neurofibromatosis Type 1: Insights From a Pilot Therapeutic Drug Monitoring Study

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate selumetinib exposure using therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) in pediatric patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) and plexiform neurofibromas (PN), assess interpatient pharmacokinetic variability, and explore the relationship between drug exposure, clinical response, and adverse effects.

Selection and validation of potato candidate genes for maturity corrected resistance to Phytophthora infestans based on differential expression combined with SNP association and linkage mapping. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Late blight of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) caused by the oomycete Phytophthora infestans (Mont.) de Bary, is one of the most important bottlenecks of potato production worldwide.

RETRACTED ARTICLE: Dissecting closely linked association signals in combination with the mammalian phenotype database can identify candidate genes in dairy cattle

open access: yesBMC 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

Sirolimus for Extracranial Arteriovenous Malformations: A Scoping Review of the Evidence in Syndromic and Non‐Syndromic Cases

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are rare, high‐flow, vascular anomalies that can occur either sporadically or as part of a genetic syndrome. AVMs can progress with serious morbidity and even mortality if left unchecked. Sirolimus is an mTOR inhibitor that is effective in low‐flow vascular malformations; however, its role in AVMs is unclear.

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

open access: yesGenetics 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.
