The genetic improvement of soybean cultivars over the years has focused on increasing the yield capacity and tolerance to some abiotic and biotic factors, such as drought, diseases, and pests. However, during the transfe...

The increasing complexity of forensic genetic samples has driven the development and implementation of probabilistic genotyping software (PGS) to assist experts in quantifying the weight of evidence. A common challenge l...

A Genetic Algorithm is defined as a smart algorithm which can be used to solve the complex matters and improve them, which are used in many fields. Also, Genetic Algorithm is considered as one of the efficient search met...

A produção industrial de aves e suínos mostrou enormes avanços nos últimos anos, principalmente devido ao aumento dos conhecimentos na área de genética e de nutrição. Na área de avaliação dos alimentos e das ...

The challenge to increase agricultural production with a minimum environmental impact requires to reach the maximum efficiency in the capture and use of resources such as photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), water,...

ABSTRACT The genusBryconcomprises fish species of significant socioeconomic and biological importance in Brazil. Despite that, the genetic knowledge about these species is scarce, especially regardingBrycon falcatus. Thu...

BackgroundType 2 diabetes (T2D) is a heterogeneous disease for which (1) disease-causing pathways are incompletely understood and (2) subclassification may improve patient management. Unlike other biomarkers, germline ge...

El objetivo de este trabajo radica en demostrar la pervivencia en Argentina de la doctrina de "mejora de la raza" como argumento legitimador de políticas sanitarias locales, desde finales de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. M...

Documenting the presence and abundance of the neotropical mammals is the first step for understanding their population ecology, behavior and genetic dynamics in designing conservation plans. The combination of field rese...

Abstract Rare disease gene discovery is limited by small cohorts and the frequent absence of matched controls. We present the Case-Only Burden Test (COBT), a gene-based burden test for case-only designs accounting for mu...

ABSTRACT The present study tested a comet assay that was modified for compatibility with Giemsa staining to assess the drug genotoxicity in the peripheral blood of rats. We analysed the peripheral blood of 16 female Wist...

Abstract Background Genetic analysis of the mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) has become essential for breed characterization, population genetics, and taxonomic studies in livestock. Genetic variations in mitochondrial ...

Aims Accurate prevalence estimates are vital for the provision of healthcare services. We calculated the diagnosed UK prevalence of fragile X syndrome (FXS) and estimated the undiagnosed FXS population.Methods A retrospe...

Abstract Background The complex relationship between the gut microbiome and immune system development during infancy is considered a key factor in the rising rates of pediatric allergic diseases. Food protein-induced all...

Abstract Cell–cell communication regulates complex biological processes in multicellular systems. Existing scRNA-seq-based methods typically aggregate gene expression by clusters, overlooking within-cluster heterogenei...

The extensive develop- ment of genealogical studies based on archival documents has provided powerful support for genetic research in Costa Rica over the past quarter century. As a result, several questions of population...

Multiple crossover per couple (MCPC) is a newly introduced crossover method which in contrast with the single crossover per couple approach (SCPC), permits more than one crossover operation for each mating pair. MCPC was...

Background. Despite being one of the most studied families within the Carnivora, the phylogenetic relationships among the members of the bear family (Ursidae) have long remained unclear. Widely divergent topologies have ...

Los algoritmos de clustering de tipo c-means son sensibles a los valores de inicialización de los centroides y pueden quedar atrapados en extremos locales. Planteado en estos términos, el uso de enfoques aproximados pa...

As a new promising crossover method, multiple crossovers per couple (MCPC) deserves special attention in evolutionary computing field. Allowing multiple crossovers per couple on a selected pair of parents provided an ext...
