Comparative evaluation of phenotypic, pedigree, and family-based selection in insect breeding using stochastic simulation

Animal
Selective breeding in insects has predominantly relied on phenotypic selection without considering relatedness. Selection on estimated breeding values could potentially increase genetic gain, but the challenge of pedigree tracking complicates this ...

Genetic linkage and natural selection [PDF]

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2010
Abstract The prevalence of recombination in eukaryotes poses one of the most puzzling questions in biology. The most compelling general explanation is that recombination facilitates selection by breaking down the negative associations generated by random drift (i.e. Hill–Robertson interference, HRI).

Inpatient Exposure, Confidence, and Knowledge in Pediatric Hematology/Oncology: Evaluating General Pediatric Residents During 2025 ACGME Curriculum Change

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background General pediatricians often evaluate hematologic and oncologic presentations before subspecialty consultation, yet the 2025 Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) pediatric requirements reduce inpatient pediatric hematology/oncology (PHO) time, raising questions about resident readiness.

Response to mass selection when an identified major gene is segregating [PDF]

, 1998
A deterministic model to predict response with mass selection when a major locus is segregating is presented. The model uses a selection index framework in which the weight of the different components included in the index are adjusted to describe the ...

Test-day milk yield as a selection criterion for dairy buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis Artiodactyla, Bovidae)

Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2008
Due to the great demand for buffalo milk by-products the interest in technical-scientific information about this species is increasing. Our objective was to propose selection criteria for milk yield in buffaloes based on total milk yield, 305-day milk ...

Consensus Standards and Recommendations for Developmental and Cognitive Surveillance, Screening, and Evaluation in Sickle Cell Disease: Executive Summary From the National Alliance of Sickle Cell Centers Neurocognitive Workgroup

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Neurodevelopmental and neurocognitive difficulties are prevalent among individuals with sickle cell disease and warrant prompt identification and support. This Special Report provides an executive summary of standards and recommendations for surveillance, screening, and evaluation for development and cognition across the lifespan developed by ...

DIRECT AND INDIRECT GENETIC GAINS FOR GROWTH AND REPRODUCTIVE TRAITS IN Inga edulis

Revista do Instituto Florestal
In this study parameters, correlations, and expected direct (DGg%) e indiretos (IGg%) genetic gains from mass selection and selection among progenies were estimated for growth, crown architecture, and reproductive traits in 105 open-pollinated Inga ...

Reduction of traits for genetic evaluation of linear described traits in the Old Kladruber horse

Czech Journal of Animal Science, 2012
The estimated genetic parameters were used for selection of important conformation traits and reduction in the number of the described characteristics. For reduction in the number of described traits from the original 36 to 24, the traits were selected ...

Population genetics: The signature of selection [PDF]

Current Biology, 2001
There is hope that the structure of molecular variation within populations can give evidence for recent adaptive evolution. New work on Drosophila genes that seem to have been subject to adaptive changes illustrates the difficulties in calculating the statistical significance of data trends that seem to show this.
