histological grading is a good parameter to stratify tumors according to their biological aggressiveness. the elston and ellis grading method in humans, invasive ductal breast carcinomas and other invasive tumors are routinely used. the aims of this study were classification of mammary gland tumors and also application of a human grading method in canine mammary carcinoma. the samples included ...

Aim: To find out utility of grading breast carcinoma on fine needle aspiration (FNA) as per the criteria proposed by Robinson and Colleagues and compare it with histological grading proposed by Elston and Ellis based on method by Nottingham’s modification of Bloom and Richardson system. Methods: Cytological smears of 58 cases of breast carcinoma diagnosed on fine needle aspiration cytology (FNA...

MOTIVATION We developed an EM-random forest (EMRF) for Haseman-Elston quantitative trait linkage analysis that accounts for marker ambiguity and weighs each sib-pair according to the posterior identical by descent (IBD) distribution. The usual random forest (RF) variable importance (VI) index used to rank markers for variable selection is not optimal when applied to linkage data because of corr...

Heterogeneity poses a challenge to linkage mapping. Here, we apply a latent class extension of Haseman-Elston regression to expression phenotypes with significant evidence of linkage to trans regulators in 14 large pedigrees. We test for linkage, accounting for heterogeneity, and classify individual families as "linked" and "unlinked" on the basis of their contribution to the overall evidence o...

Sedlacekvia kinchegaensis sp. nov., a new member of the hitherto monotypic genus Sedlacekvia Winkler, 1989 is described from an arid region of New South Wales, Australia. As the genus has not been associated with any subfamily of Cleridae yet, its classification within Clerinae and phylogenetic relation with Odontophlogistus Elston, 1923 (Cleridae: Clerinae) is proposed.

A common study design to map quantitative trait loci (QTL) is to compare the phenotypes and marker genotypes of two or more siblings in a sample of unrelated sib groups, and to test for linkage between chromosome location and quantitative trait values. The simplest case is sib pairs only, in particular dizygotic twin pairs, and a simple and elegant regression method was proposed by Haseman & El...
