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.

Pediatric Oncology Nursing Competencies in Latin America and the Caribbean: A Scoping Review to Inform Practice, Education, and Research

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Nurses are central to cancer care for children and adolescents, yet no comprehensive synthesis has defined essential core competencies for pediatric oncology nursing (PON) practice internationally, particularly in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC).

Bayesian nonparametric tests via sliced inverse modeling [PDF]

, 2015
We study the problem of independence and conditional independence tests between categorical covariates and a continuous response variable, which has an immediate application in genetics.

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.

Assessing Population Structure and Signatures of Selection in Wanbei Pigs Using Whole Genome Resequencing Data

Animals, 2022
Wanbei pig (WBP) is one of the indigenous pig resources in China and has many germplasm characteristics. However, research on its genome is lacking. To assess the genomic variation, population structure, and selection signatures, we resequenced 18 WBP ...

COMPARISON OF QUANTITATIVE GENETIC PARAMETERS [PDF]

Evolution, 1992
Shaw (1991) has described a maximum-likelihood procedure for comparing genetic covariance matrices between populations. While her efforts to expand the procedures available for quantitative genetic analyses are laudable, her discussion is incomplete in several respects. For example, consider her criticism of Dietz's matrix permutation test (Dietz, 1983)

‘They Need to Hear You Say It’: Healthcare Professionals’ Perspectives on Barriers and Enablers to End‐of‐Life Discussions With Adolescents and Young Adults With Cancer

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT End‐of‐life conversations with adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with cancer rarely occur without the guidance of healthcare professionals. As a part of the ‘Difficult Discussions’ study, focused on palliative care and advance care planning discussions with AYAs with cancer, we investigated the factors that healthcare professionals identify ...

Determining selection across heterogeneous landscapes: a perturbation-based method and its application to modeling evolution in space [PDF]

, 2017
Spatial structure can decisively influence the way evolutionary processes unfold. Several methods have thus far been used to study evolution in spatial systems, including population genetics, quantitative genetics, momentclosure approximations, and ...

Feasibility and Preliminary Efficacy of Integrative Neuromuscular Training for Childhood Cancer Survivors: A Pilot Study

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Survivors of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) often exhibit early deficits in muscle and movement competence, which can compromise long‐term health. Integrative neuromuscular training (INT), a multifaceted approach combining fundamental movement activities with strength exercises, may help address these deficits during ...

Fluctuation Domains in Adaptive Evolution

, 2010
We derive an expression for the variation between parallel trajectories in phenotypic evolution, extending the well known result that predicts the mean evolutionary path in adaptive dynamics or quantitative genetics.
