LIMA BEAN POPULATIONS ASSESSMENTS VIA REML/BLUP METHODOLOGY
ABSTRACT - Based on its nutritional and economic value, the lima bean (Phaseolus lunatus L.) is the second most important species of the genus. It has high genetic diversity and potential for production and is considered an alternative food and income source.

QTL mapping for production traits in Czech Fleckvieh cattle
The objective of this study was to find QTL for milk production traits in Czech Fleckvieh cattle on chromosomes 6, 7, 11, 14, and 23 where QTL were previously identified in other dairy cattle populations.

The analysis of very small samples of repeated measurements II: a modified box correction [PDF]
There is a need for appropriate methods for the analysis of very small samples of continuous repeated measurements. A key feature of such analyses is the role played by the covariance matrix of the repeated observations.

Regularization for Generalized Additive Mixed Models by Likelihood-Based Boosting [PDF]
With the emergence of semi- and nonparametric regression the generalized linear mixed model has been expanded to account for additive predictors. In the present paper an approach to variable selection is proposed that works for generalized additive mixed

A new approach fits multivariate genomic prediction models efficiently
Background Fast, memory-efficient, and reliable algorithms for estimating genomic estimated breeding values (GEBV) for multiple traits and environments are needed to make timely decisions in breeding.

Plasma metabolites reflect seasonally changing metabolic processes in a long-distance migrant shorebird (Calidris canutus) [PDF]
Migrant birds have tightly scheduled annual cycles consisting of several distinct life cycle (sub-)stages such as reproduction, migration, moult and overwintering, each of which have specific metabolic requirements (e.g., fattening during migration ...

Predicted Residual Error Sum of Squares of Mixed Models: An Application for Genomic Prediction. [PDF]
Genomic prediction is a statistical method to predict phenotypes of polygenic traits using high-throughput genomic data. Most diseases and behaviors in humans and animals are polygenic traits. The majority of agronomic traits in crops are also polygenic.
