The main factor considered in breeding programs for fish is growth, which can be assessed in terms of a gain in either weight or body measurements. This study was undertaken to evaluate the morphometric traits of GIFT ...

Pathogens, which have recently colonized a new host species or new populations of the same host, are interesting models for understanding how populations may evolve in response to novel environments. During its colonization ...

The impact of recent habitat fragmentation on population genetic diversity and structure has often been studied, mainly related to anthropogenic causes; however its long-term effect has been much less evaluated. In this ...

Linear Genetic Programming (LGP) is an Evolutionary Computation algorithm, inspired in the Genetic Programming (GP) algorithm. Instead of using the standard tree representation of GP, LGP evolves a linear program, which ...

BACKGROUND: Treatment with erythropoietin (Epo) in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), the rodent model of multiple sclerosis (MS), has consistently been shown to ameliorate disease progression and improve ...

A genetic algorithm has been developed in order to estimate not only the main effects but also the association of terms when analyzing the influence of experimental factors through a Plackett-Burman design of experiments. ...

The objective of this work was to study the effect of selective thinning on the estimates of genetic parameters in progenies of Pinus caribaea var. hondurensis. The progeny test was installed in June 1986, following a 10 ...

This study estimated the genetic contribution to genetic variance components and genetic parameters from cytoplasmic lineage effects through the transmission of cytoplasmic components, mainly, the mitochondrial genome ...
