چکیده
The State of Israel that was declared independent in 1948 is a country that is ~450 km in length and 180 km at its maximum width (Fig. 1). At the end of 2012 there were 7,984,500 inhabitants in Israel among which 5,999,600 (75.1%) were Jews, 1,387,600 (17.4%) Muslim Arabs, 158,400 (2.0%) Christian Arabs, and 131,500 (1.6%) Druzes (Statistical Abstracts of Israel 2013). In 2012, there were 170,940 live births among which 125,409 (73.4%) were Jews, 36,041 (21.1%) Muslim Arabs, 2610 (1.5%) Christian Arabs, and 2371 (1.4%) Druze. Most of the population lives in the coastal area and, in particular, in the Tel Aviv region. The Jewish population is located primarily in cities, whereas the Arab population mostly resides in small towns and villages.

The objective of this study was to compare the accuracy of estimating and predicting breeding values using two diverse approaches, GBLUP and BayesC, using simulated data under different quantitative trait locus(QTL) effect distributions. Data were simulated with three different distributions for the QTL effect which were uniform, normal and gamma (1.66, 0.4). The number of QTL was assumed to be...

Introduction: We are currently faced with a global epidemic of a new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) that It affects not only thousands of people in China, but all over the world. The rapid increase in cases appears to be related to the active genome of the virus, which may affect its pathogenesis. An understanding of the novel coronavirus genomic organization will help us in understanding their origi...
