Gene expression programming approach to event selection in high energy physics [PDF]
Gene Expression Programming is a new evolutionary algorithm that overcomes many limitations of the more established Genetic Algorithms and Genetic Programming. Its first application to high energy physics data analysis is presented.

Talent selection and genetics in sport
Whether the performance demonstrated by talented sportsmen is hereditary or acquired later has become subject of research for physical education and sport scientists from past to present. However, training science and trainers wonder how far can reach the higher performance limits emerging as a result of talents available in sportsmen.

Genetic evolution of a multi-generational population in the context of interstellar space travels -- Part I: Genetic evolution under the neutral selection hypothesis [PDF]
We updated the agent based Monte Carlo code HERITAGE that simulates human evolution within restrictive environments such as interstellar, sub-light speed spacecraft in order to include the effects of population genetics. We incorporated a simplified -- yet representative -- model of the whole human genome with 46 chromosomes (23 pairs), containing 2110

Selection and Genetic Gain in Third-generation Seedling Seed Orchard of Acacia Mangium [PDF]
One of the purposes of seedling seed orchard (SSO) establishment is to produce genetically improved seeds. The amount of genetic gain in the SSO is determined from a series of selection involving within and between family selection in which the gain is ...

New cycle, same old mistakes? Overlapping vs. discrete generations in long-term recurrent selection
Background Recurrent selection is a foundational breeding method for quantitative trait improvement. It typically features rapid breeding cycles that can lead to high rates of genetic gain.

Genome-Wide Footprints of Pig Domestication and Selection Revealed through Massive Parallel Sequencing of Pooled DNA [PDF]
Background Artificial selection has caused rapid evolution in domesticated species. The identification of selection footprints across domesticated genomes can contribute to uncover the genetic basis of phenotypic diversity.

Genetic linkage and natural selection [PDF]
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). I classify the effects of HRI owing to: deleterious mutation,

Genetic Selection for Gaits in the Horse
Quality and cadence of various locomotion patterns are extremely valuable traits in horses. Breeds like the Tennessee Walking Horse, Florida Cracker Horse, Mangalarga Marchador, and Icelandic Pony are prized and selected for unique intermediate-speed locomotion patterns.
