Alzheimer's disease: Age of Onset Modifier Genes in the World’s Largest Pedigree
… studied the largest multigenerational extended pedigree from the Paisa genetic isolate in which the p.Glu280Ala (E280A) fully penetrant mutation in the Presenilin-1 (PSEN1) gene causes early-onset familial AD (fAD). One of the most intriguing aspects of this pedigree is the broad spectrum of the …

Effects of Information Source, Pedigree and Reliability on Operators' Utilization of Decision Support Systems
… hoc trust in the above sources of advice and pedigree levels after their objective experience of advisers' diagnostic accuracy (high vs. low) in an airline luggage-screening task. Biases toward automation (observed in Study 1) led to greater dependence on 'novice' automated aids than on …

Improving pedigree prediction, sire, and cow evaluation by adjusting production data for past reproductive performance
… and 0.72 for fat of the bottom 20 dams;Adjusting pedigree information for past reproductive performance improved the regression coefficients for sires and maternal grandsires in predicting young bulls' proofs. However, the regression coefficients for dams were very small (0.02 to 0.03) with or …

Using Pedigree Reconstruction to Test Head-Starting Efficiency for Endangered Amphibians: Field Tested in the Houston Toad (Bufo Houstonensis)
The Houston Toad (Bufo houstonensis) was first described in 1953 and due to habitat loss and severe droughts the species was placed on the endangered species list in 1970. In 2007, a head-starting project was implemented using tadpoles and juveniles that cannot be marked by traditional means. I …
