Assessment of beech scale resistance in full- and half-sibling American beech families
A beech bark disease infested American beech tree (Fagus grandifolia Ehrh.) and two uninfested trees were selected in a mature natural stand in Michigan, USA, and mated to form two full-sib families for evaluating the inheritance of resistance to beech scale (Cryptococcus fagisuga Lind.), the insect element of beech bark disease. Four half-sib families from both infested and uninfested trees we...
متن کاملCombinatorial Reconstruction of Half-sibling Groups
While full sibling group reconstruction from microsatellite data is a well studied problem, reconstruction of half sibling groups is much less studied, theoretically challenging, and a computationally intense problem. In this paper, we present two different formulations of the half-sib reconstruction problem and prove their NP-hardness. We also present exact solutions for these formulations and...
متن کاملModeling confounding by half-sibling regression.
We describe a method for removing the effect of confounders to reconstruct a latent quantity of interest. The method, referred to as "half-sibling regression," is inspired by recent work in causal inference using additive noise models. We provide a theoretical justification, discussing both independent and identically distributed as well as time series data, respectively, and illustrate the pot...
متن کامل“CINDERELLA”: A Story of Sibling Rivalry and Oedipal Conflicts

Why are people so fascinated with “Cinderella”? Depending on the people you ask and their perspectives, you’ll find this que...
متن کاملSibling familial risk ratio of meningococcal disease in UK Caucasians.
To quantify the host genetic component of meningococcal disease (MD) susceptibility, the sibling risk ratio (lambdaS) was calculated as the ratio of observed MD cases among 845 siblings of 443 UK Caucasian cases to that expected, calculated from age-calendar year specific rates for England and Wales. Twenty-seven siblings contracted MD compared with an expected 0.89, generating a lambdaS value ...
