Genetic parameters and association between longevity and milk production in buffaloes using the ssGBLUP method

open access: yesRevista Brasileira de Zootecnia, 2023
The objectives of this work were to estimate the genetic parameters for the traits longevity (LG) and accumulated milk yield at 305 days (MY305) using a bitrait animal model and the single-step GBLUP method and estimate the genetic gain for LG through ...

Making tau amyloid models in vitro: a crucial and underestimated challenge

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This review highlights the challenges of producing in vitro amyloid assemblies of the tau protein. We review how accurately the existing protocols mimic tau deposits found in the brain of patients affected with tauopathies. We discuss the important properties that should be considered when forming amyloids and the benchmarks that should be used to ...

Impact of Genetic Selection for Increased Cattle Resistance to Bovine Tuberculosis on Disease Transmission Dynamics

open access: yesFrontiers in Veterinary Science, 2018
Bovine tuberculosis (bTB) poses a challenge to animal health and welfare worldwide. Presence of genetic variation in host resistance to Mycobacterium bovis infection makes the trait amenable to improvement with genetic selection.

Human genetic admixture through the lens of population genomics [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2021
Over the last fifty years, geneticists have made great strides in understanding how our species' evolutionary history gave rise to current patterns of human genetic diversity classically summarized by Lewontin in his 1972 paper, 'The Apportionment of Human Diversity'.

Genetic Strategies for Enhancing Rooster Fertility in Tropical and Humid Climates: Challenges and Opportunities. [PDF]

open access: yesAnimals (Basel)
Native chickens are important both economically and for the preservation of genetic diversity, especially for optimizing the reproductive performance of male chickens, which plays an important role in genetic propagation.

PhysicsGP: A Genetic Programming Approach to Event Selection [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
We present a novel multivariate classification technique based on Genetic Programming. The technique is distinct from Genetic Algorithms and offers several advantages compared to Neural Networks and Support Vector Machines.

Unraveling Mycobacterium tuberculosis acid resistance and pH homeostasis mechanisms

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Mycobacterium tuberculosis exhibits a remarkable resilience to acid stress. In this Review, we discuss some of the molecular mechanisms and metabolic pathways used by the tubercle bacilli to adapt and resist host‐mediated acid stress. Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is a successful pathogen that has developed a variety of strategies to survive and ...

Should genetic groups be fitted in BLUP evaluation? Practical answer for the French AI beef sire evaluation

open access: yesGenetics Selection Evolution, 2004
Some analytical and simulated criteria were used to determine whether a priori genetic differences among groups, which are not accounted for by the relationship matrix, ought to be fitted in models for genetic evaluation, depending on the data structure ...

The asexual genome of Drosophila

open access: yes, 2017
The rate of recombination affects the mode of molecular evolution. In high-recombining sequence, the targets of selection are individual genetic loci; under low recombination, selection collectively acts on large, genetically linked genomic segments ...

Long-term balancing selection drives evolution of immunity genes in Capsella. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Genetic drift is expected to remove polymorphism from populations over long periods of time, with the rate of polymorphism loss being accelerated when species experience strong reductions in population size.
