Discovery of quantitative trait loci for resistance to parasitic nematode infection in sheep: I. Analysis of outcross pedigrees

BMC Genomics, 2006
Background Currently most pastoral farmers rely on anthelmintic drenches to control gastrointestinal parasitic nematodes in sheep. Resistance to anthelmintics is rapidly increasing in nematode populations such that on some farms none of the drench ...

Assessment of Genetic Correlations Between Tobacco or Alcohol Use and Neurodegenerative Diseases Using East Asian Genetic Ancestry Genome‐Wide Association Study Results

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part B: Neuropsychiatric Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD) are the most prevalent late‐onset neurodegenerative diseases worldwide. Both are influenced in part by genetic factors and are currently incurable. Tobacco and alcohol, the two most common substances used among the general adult population, are potential AD/PD risk factors and are also ...

Quantitative Genetic Dissection of Shoot Architecture Traits in Maize: Towards a Functional Genomics Approach

The Plant Genome, 2008
Quantitative trait loci (QTL) affecting the total number of leaves made before flowering and the number of leaves below the uppermost ear (NLBE) were mapped and characterized using the intermated B73 × Mo17 recombinant inbred lines (IBMRILs) of maize ( L.

PbAT: A user‐friendly R/Shiny platform for data‐driven decision support in crop improvement

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Modern plant breeding requires robust analysis of complex, multi‐environment datasets to identify superior genotypes. Although R offers powerful statistical packages, their use often requires programming expertise. Existing graphical user interface (GUI)‐based tools are either limited in scope or not openly accessible, leaving breeders

Molecular methods for differentiating Phragmites australis subspecies and identification of hybrid stands in the Upper Midwestern United States

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise In North America, Phragmites australis (common reed) has drawn a great deal of research attention. Non‐native P. australis subsp. australis is a noxious weed that has locally displaced native P. australis subsp. americanus in some areas.
