In genomic recurrent selection programs of self-pollinated crops, additive genetic effects (breeding values) are effectively relevant for selection of superior progenies as new parents. However, considering additive and nonadditive genetic effects can improve the prediction of genome-enhanced breeding values (GEBV) of progenie.. Read More»

Quantitative candidate gene association studies of metabolic traits in Han Chinese type 2 diabetes patients
Authors: F.J. Wei, C.Y. Cai, P. Yu, J. Lv, C. Ling, W.T. Shi, H.X. Jiao, B.C. Chang, F.H. Yang, Y. Tian, M.S. Li, Y.H. Wang, L. Zou, J.M. Shi, L.M. Chen and W.D. Li
Recent genome-wide association studies have identified many loci associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), hyperuricemia, and obesity in various ethnic populations. However, quantitative traits have been less well investigated in Han Chinese T2DM populations. We investigated the association between candidate gene single.. Read More»

Comparisons of DNA marker-based genetic diversity with phenotypic estimates in maize grown in Pakistan
Authors: M.M. Shah, S.W. Hassan, K. Maqbool, I. Shahzadi and A. Pervez
We compared DNA-based genetic diversity estimates with conventional estimates by investigating agronomically important traits in maize grown in the northwestern region of Pakistan. RAPD markers were used to characterize 10 commonly cultivated maize genotypes. The same material was tested for phenotypic variation of quantitativ.. Read More»
