Assessment of genotyping array performance for genome-wide association studies and imputation in African cattle por Riggio, V., Tijjani, Abdulfatai, Callaby, R., Talenti, A., Wragg, D., Obishakin, E.T., Ezeasor, C.K., Jongejan, F., Ogo, N.I., Aboagye-Antwi, F., Touré, A., Nzalawahej, J., Diallo, B., Missohou, A., Belem, A.M.G., Djikeng, Appolinaire, Julef, Nick, Fourie, J., Labuschagne, Maryke T., Madder, M., Marshall, Karen, Prendergast, James G.D., Morrison, Liam J.

“…Finally, we show that imputation from low-density arrays can perform almost as well as HD arrays, if a two-stage imputation approach is adopted, i.e. first imputing to HD and then to WGS, which can potentially reduce the costs of GWAS.Our results show that the choice of an array should be based on a balance between the objective of the study and the breed/population considered, with the HD and BOS1 arrays being the best choice for both taurine and indicine breeds when performing GWAS, and the GGPF250 being preferable for fine-mapping studies. …”

Did prior receipt of nutrition-sensitive social protection build resilience to COVID-19 in rural Bangladesh? por Ahmed, Akhter, Bakhtiar, M. Mehrab, Hoddinott, John F., Quabili, Wahid, Roy, Shalini

“…. • In November 2021, compared with the control group, former Cash+BCC households report experiencing significantly lower prevalence of moderate or severe food insecurity, report a more diverse diet (being significantly more likely to consume eggs, dairy, and fruit in the previous seven days), report a slightly smaller share of main earners being unemployed, and report experiencing significantly less stress. • Our findings suggest that providing poor rural households in Bangladesh with sizable cash transfers of long duration alongside intensive complementary programming, such as nutrition BCC, may help them cope with future shocks. …”
