Accuracy of EBV’s
نویسندگان
چکیده
In previous versions of PIGBLUP, breeders had no knowledge of the accuracy with which specific estimated breeding values (EBV’s) were calculated. This was generally of no concern. Replacement breeding stock were selected based on EBV’s knowing that young animals will generally have EBV’s with similar accuracies. Consequently, even if accuracy was an issue for the breeder, there would be little room to descriminate between young animals based on accuracy.

Comparative Study of Different Sire Evaluation Methods Using First Lactation Traits in Crossbred Cattle
The records of 1085 crossbred cattle daughters of 57 sires maintained during 1974-2004 at Instructional Dairy Farm of Govind Ballabh Pant University of Agriculture & Technology, Pantnagar, Uttarakhand, India were used to evaluate sires for first lactation performance traits. The data were analyzed to estimate the breeding values of sires using least squares methods (LSM), best linear unbiased p...
متن کاملComparison of Genetic Parameters in PIGBLUP with UNE17P Parameters
Genetic improvement is based on selecting genetically superior animals. From the phenotypic performance of an animal it is not known whether an animal is genetically superior or whether good performance is caused by favourable management or environmental effects. Genetic principles are applied in genetic evaluation programs like PIGBLUP to determine genetically superior animals which is express...
متن کاملEpstein-Barr Virus: The Path from Association to Causality for a Ubiquitous Human Pathogen
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), a herpes virus, is now accepted as a bona fide human tumor virus and has been found to be a risk factor for the development of multiple sclerosis (MS). Epidemiological studies and molecular virology have been combined to establish EBV’s causal roles in several lymphomas and carcinomas. The success of these combined approaches illustrates what insights will be needed to...
متن کاملp16-independence of Epstein–Barr virus- induced cell proliferation and virus latency
Received 20 November 2003 Accepted 11 February 2004 Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) has the ability to promote cell cycle progression following the initial infection of primary resting B-lymphocytes and to cause cell cycle arrest at the onset of the viral replicative cycle. Various mechanisms have been proposed for the proliferative effects, including the up-regulation of cyclin D2 by the viral EBNA-2...

Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) infects a large percentage of the world’s population and is responsible for infectious mononucleosis and, in rare cases, Burkitt’s lymphoma and nasopharyngeal carcinoma. EBV’s primary means of infection is the association of the viral surface glycoprotein gp350 with Complement Receptor 2 (CR2) of the immune system. Various mutagenesis studies have identified key residue...
