to assess heritability, gene action and combining ability of rice varieties for characteristics related to grain appearance and cooking quality, the progenies derived from direct and reverse crosses of the 6×6 complete diallel together with their parents included hashemi, hassani, shahpasand, kadous, vandana and ir36 were grown in a randomized complete block design with three replications in th...

background: one substantial part of microarray studies is to predict patients’ survival based on their gene expression profile. variable selection techniques are powerful tools to handle high dimensionality in analysis of microarray data. however, these techniques have not been investigated in competing risks setting. this study aimed to investigate the performance of four sparse variable selec...

Gene–environment interactions have important implications for elucidating the genetic basis of complex diseases beyond joint function multiple factors and their (or epistasis). In past, G × E been mainly conducted within framework association studies. The high dimensionality interactions, due to complicated form environmental effects presence a large number including gene expressions SNPs, has ...
