under a specific cross-validation scheme are commonly used to evaluate their relative performances. Hadasch et al. compare the predictive abilities of contending models for MAS under several contrasting cross-validation schemes using empirical datasets on two quantitative traits with different heritabilities collected from multienvironment trials. The predictive abilities of models for MAS were...

OBJECTIVES Contradicting results have been demonstrated for the expression of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) as a prognostic marker in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The complexity of the EGF system with four interacting receptors and more than a dozen activating ligands is a likely explanation. The aim of this study is to demonstrate that the combined network of receptors and...

Genotype imputation from low-density to high-density (SNP) chips is an important step before applying genomic selection, because denser chips can provide more reliable genomic predictions. In the current research, the accuracy of genotype imputation from low and moderate-density panels (5K and 50K) to high-density panels in the purebred and crossbred populations was assessed. The simulated popu...

Because of the moderate heritability and the expense associated with collecting feed intake data, effective selection for residual feed intake would be enhanced if marker-assisted evaluation were used for accurate estimation of genetic merit. In this study, a suite of genetic markers predictive of residual feed intake, DMI, and ADG were preselected using single-marker regression analysis, and t...

Since the ratio of the second-to-fourth finger length was first proposed as a marker for prenatal androgen action in 1998, over 100 studies have been published that have either further tested the association between the digit ratio and prenatal androgens, or employed digit ratios as a marker to investigate the association between prenatal androgens and a variety of outcomes, including behavior,...
