In the literature an abundance of genomic relationship matrices have been described which mainly differ in the age of the relationships that they trace. Marker based relationship matrices (G) generally trace very old relationships, since the marker mutations occurred. Pedigree (A) and linkage analysis relationship matrices (GLA) trace relationships since pedigree recording started, i.e. since t...

The field of pharmacogenetics has begun to reveal solid evidence for the relationship between interindividual variability in response to drug treatment and one’s genetic background. In the lipoprotein field, response to statin treatment and the severity of adverse events from statin treatment has been linked to genetic variation. Now, new evidence of a relationship between apolipoprotein A-V ge...

Depression and fatigue have previously been suggested to share an underlying genetic contribution. The present study aims to investigate and characterize the familiality and genetic relationship between depression and fatigue. The familiality of depression and fatigue was assessed by calculating relative risks, measured by the prevalence ratio, within 643 monozygotic (MZ) and 577 dizygotic (DZ)...

diversity of durum wheat (triticum turgidum ssp. durum) germplasm was evaluated using simple sequence repeat (ssr) markers. one hundred and forty durum wheat genotypes of diverse origin (belonging to ten countries) were assessed using 48 selected ssrs with whole genome coverage. a total of 245 allelic variants were detected at 37 polymorphic ssr loci, ranging from two to seventeen per locus wit...

the present study was conducted to estimate correlations among performance and egg quality traits in iranian native fowl. data were collected from 21,679 birdsat the isfahan native fowl breeding center to derive genetic parameters for performance traits and egg quality traits were measured on eggs of 1,020 birds. genetic correlations of performance and egg quality traits were estimated with a b...

Dense molecular markers are being used in genetic evaluation for parts of the population. This requires a two-step procedure where pseudo-data (for instance, daughter yield deviations) are computed from full records and pedigree data and later used for genomic evaluation. This results in bias and loss of information. One way to incorporate the genomic information into a full genetic evaluation ...

This study investigated genetic and environmental influences on the associations between mother–child relationship quality (warmth and hostility) and adolescent conduct problems and cigarette use. Participants included 601 mothers and adolescent twin pairs (aged 12–17 years). Mothers and adolescents provided separate reports of mother-to-child warmth and hostility. A combined measure of mother ...

Background & Aim: German chamomile is one of the most important medicinal plants. So, assessment of genetic diversity and relationship among the traits are very essential in chamomile breeding programs. Determination of the best indirect selection criteria for genetic improvement of essence percent and dry flower yield of German chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla L.) populations...
