Study of different structures of additive genetic groups to increase the efficiency of genetic selection in beef cattle
Authors: G.A. Oliveira Junior
The structure of genetic groups is a technique that allows animals with unknown paternity to be included in genetic evaluation programs. The ways these groups are formed are still arbitrary, making it important to study different formation strategies for genetic groups, aiming for a suitable framework for the genetic evaluatio..

Use of weaning management group as a random effect for a more robust estimation of genetic parameters for post-weaning traits in Nellore cattle
Authors: V.B. Pedrosa, J.P. Eler, J.B.S. Ferraz and E. Groeneveld
Data from 69,525 animals were used to compare two types of analyses, one of them having the weaning management group (WEMANG) included as an effect in the contemporary group (F_WEMANG) and the other considering the weaning management group as a random effect, not related to the mathematical model (R_WEMANG) for post-weaning tr..

Correlation analysis of serum obestatin expression with insulin resistance in childhood obesity
Authors: M.Y. Zhang, F. Li and J.P. Wang
Childhood obesity is a serious public health concern condition, as excess body fat can negatively affect a child's health. Obestatin is a hormone that regulates body weight by suppressing appetite and reducing food intake; fasting obestatin level is negatively correlated with basal insulin level. This study aims to investigate.. Read More»

Descriptive statistics and correlation analysis of agronomic traits in a maize recombinant inbred line population....
Authors: H.M. Zhang, G.Q. Hui, Q. Luo, Y. Sun and X.H. Liu
Maize (Zea mays L.) is one of the most important crops in the world. In this study, 13 agronomic traits of a recombinant inbred line population that was derived from the cross between Mo17 and Huangzao4 were investigated in maize: ear diameter, ear length, ear axis diameter, ear weight, plant height, ear height, days to pollen..

HLA-B51 subtypes in Turkish patients with Beh�§etâ��s disease and their correlation with clinical manifestations
Authors: D.D. Demirseren, G.G. Ceylan, G. Akoglu, S. Emre, S. Erten, A. Arman and A. Metin
Behçet’s disease (BD) is a multisystemic inflammatory disease believed to be triggered by microbial or environmental factors on a genetic platform. Clinically, it may have an impact on many body systems, including the mucocutaneous, ocular, articular, vascular, and neurological systems. In this study, we aimed to .. Read More»

Genetic parameters and path analysis in cowpea genotypes grown in the Cerrado/Pantanal ecotone
Authors: K.V. Lopes, P.E. Teodoro, F.A. Silva, M.T. Silva, R.L. Fernandes,T.C. Rodrigues, T.C. Faria and A.M. Corr�ªa
Estimating genetic parameters in plant breeding allows us to know the population potential for selecting and designing strategies that can maximize the achievement of superior genotypes. The objective of this study was to evaluate the genetic potential of a population of 20 cowpea genotypes by estimating genetic parameters and.. Read More»

Expression and significance of miR-21 in multiple myeloma patients
Authors: J.H. Wang, W.W. Zhou, B.X. Liu, D.L. Man1, Z.D. Yang, F.R. Liu and H. Shang
The aim of the present study is to examine the expression level of peripheral mir-21 in multiple myeloma (MM) patients and to determine its clinical significance. MM patients (30), monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) patients (14), and normal controls (20) were recruited to determine the serum level of β2-MG, IgA and IgM, IgG, &..

A novel COL1A1 gene-splicing mutation (c.1875+1G>C) in a Brazilian patient with osteogenesis imperfecta

Osteogenesis imperfecta is a heterogeneous genetic disorder characterized by bone fragility and deformity, recurrent fractures, blue sclera, short stature, and dentinogenesis imperfecta. Most cases are caused by mutations in COL1A1 and COL1A2 genes. We present a novel splicing mutation in the COL1A1 gene (c.1875+1G>C) in a .. Read More»

Estimation of genetic parameters and variance components for growth traits in Romosinuano cattle in the Colombian humid tropics
Authors: Sarmiento RM and Garcia JP
(Co)variance components and genetic parameters were estimated for body weights of a Romosinuano herd located in Sinú Valley, Cordoba, Colombia. Restricted maximum likelihood methods were used with a univariate animal model for birth weight, weaning weight (270 days), 16-month weight (480 days), weaning daily gain, and p.. Read More»
