A comprehensive study on size and definition of the core group in the proven and young algorithm for single-step GBLUP by Rostam Abdollahi-Arpanahi, Daniela Lourenco, Ignacy Misztal

“…Methods The aim of this study was to investigate several core definitions, including the most popular animals (MPA) (i.e., animals with high contributions to the genetic pool), the least popular males (LPM), the least popular females (LPF), a random set (Rnd), animals evenly distributed across genealogical paths (Ped), unrelated individuals (Unrel), or based on within-family selection (Fam), or on decomposition of the gene content matrix (QR). …”

“…<br>A cultivar of cowpea, Vigna unguiculata, named "Setentão" was obtained from a cross between "Sempre Verde" with seeds with cream integument and "TVu 59" with seeds with brown integument. The genealogical method with productive capacity test was used in the selection for F3 and F4 generations, with the best lines submitted to a bulk selection in isolated blocks (with lines separated by maige) in the F5 generation. …”

Comparative analysis of information contents relevant to recognition of introns in many species by Gotoh Osamu, Iwata Hiroaki

“…Again, moderate correlation was observed between the similarities in pattern of short intron recognition and the genealogical relationships among the species. When mammalian introns were categorized into three subtypes according to their terminal dinucleotide sequences, each subtype segregated into a nearly monophyletic group, regardless of the host species, with respect to the 5' and 3' splicing signals. …”

Genotyping of Capreolus pygargus fossil DNA from Denisova cave reveals phylogenetic relationships between ancient and modern populations. by Nadezhda V Vorobieva, Dmitry Y Sherbakov, Anna S Druzhkova, Roscoe Stanyon, Alexander A Tsybankov, Sergey K Vasil'ev, Mikhail V Shunkov, Vladimir A Trifonov, Alexander S Graphodatsky

“…METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: We analyzed a 629 bp fragment of the mitochondrial control region from ancient bones of 10 Holocene and four Pleistocene Siberian roe deer from Denisova cave as well as 37 modern specimen belonging to populations from Altai, Tian Shan (Kyrgyzstan), Yakutia, Novosibirsk region and the Russian Far East. Genealogical reconstructions indicated that most Holocene haplotypes were probably ancestral for modern roe deer populations of Western Siberia and Tian Shan. …”

Trans-species polymorphism at antimicrobial innate immunity cathelicidin genes of Atlantic cod and related species by Katrín Halldórsdóttir, Einar Árnason

“…Due to the stochastic nature of evolution, neutral variation may accumulate on genealogical branches, but trans-species polymorphisms are rare under neutrality and are strong evidence for balancing selection. …”

Population genetic analysis of Chadian Guinea worms reveals that human and non-human hosts share common parasite populations. by Elizabeth A Thiele, Mark L Eberhard, James A Cotton, Caroline Durrant, Jeffrey Berg, Kelsey Hamm, Ernesto Ruiz-Tiben

“…Genetic diversity of Chadian Guinea worms was considerably higher than that of the other three countries, even after controlling for sample size through rarefaction, and demographic analyses are consistent with a large, stable parasite population. Genealogical analyses eliminate the other three countries as possible sources of parasite reintroduction into Chad, and sequence divergence and distribution of genetic variation provide no evidence that parasites in human and non-human hosts are separate species or maintain isolated transmission cycles. …”

¿De Juan B. Justo a Perón? Relecturas del pasado nacional y la tradición partidaria en los grupos socialistas del PSRN by Emanuel Correa

“…Dado que el PS hací­a de los usos del pasado una herramienta de primer orden en su lucha contra el peronismo, para los dirigentes y militantes que provení­an de esa agrupación, la adhesión al gobierno peronista planteaba la necesidad de ensayar una justificación polí­tica que implicaba, en alguna medida, una revisión del pasado nacional y/o de la trayectoria previa del socialismo: o bien se reconsideraba el lugar que el peronismo ocupaba en la historia argentina, inscribiéndolo de alguna manera en la genealogí­a reivindicada por la tradición partidaria, de fuerte raigambre liberal, o bien se revisaban algunos de los tópicos tenidos como válidos por esa tradición. …”
