  1. Beyond the bids: Lessons from farmers' reflections on Vickrey auctions of sweetpotato vines in Rwanda by Kilwinger, Fleur B.M., Spielman, David J., Almekinders, Conny J.M., Rajendran, Srinivasulu, van Dam, Ynte K.

    Published 2025
    “…Significance Although auctions are an increasingly popular tool to evaluate the value of seeds and traits in smallholder farming systems, and although considerable effort has been put into examining mechanisms leading to product overestimation and underestimation in auction settings, this study offers a novel qualitative perspective that uncovers several reasons that explain deviations in the context of an experimental Vickrey auction for sweetpotato vines in rural Rwanda. …”

  2. Understanding pastoralist adaptations to drought via games and choice experiments: Field testing among Borana communities by Bell, Andrew Reid, Rakotonarivo, O. Sarobidy, Zhang, Wei, De Petris, Caterina, Kipchumba, Adams, Meinzen-Dick, Ruth S.

    Published 2025
    “…As one part of considering the relevance of these responses in shaping the future trajectory of transhumant pastoralism, we developed a multi-part intervention for measuring and observing preferences in pastoral systems, including a novel experimental game called GreenReserve, and tested it in Borana communities in northern Kenya. …”

  3. Prediction of crossover recombination using parental genomes by Peñuela, Mauricio, Riccio-Rengifo, Camila, Finke, Jorge, Rocha, Camilo, Gkanogiannis, Anestis, Wing, Rod A., Lorieux, Mathias

    Published 2023
    “…Across chromosomes, an average correlation of about 0.8 between experimental and prediction rates is achieved. The proposed model, a characterization of the variation of the recombination rates along the chromosomes, can enable breeding programs to increase the chances of creating novel allele combinations and, more generally, to introduce new varieties with a collection of desirable traits. …”

  4. Phytochemicals mediated modulation of micrornas and long non-coding rnas in cancer prevention and therapy by Ruiz-Manriquez, Luis M., Estrada-Meza, Carolina, Benavides-Aguilar, Javier A., Ledesma-Pacheco, S. Janin, Torres-Copado, Andrea, Serrano-Cano, Francisco I., Bandyopadhyay, Anindya, Pathak, Surajit, Chakraborty, Samik, Srivastava, Aashish, Sharma, Ashutosh, Paul, Sujay

    Published 2022
    “…Nevertheless, understanding phytochemical‐mediated ncRNA regulation in cancer and the underlying molecular mechanisms on tumor pathophysiology can aid in the development of novel therapeutic strategies to combat this deadly disease.…”

  5. Small farmers’ preferences for weather index insurance: insights from Kenya by Sibiko, Kenneth W., Veettil, Prakashan C., Qaim, Matin

    Published 2018
    “…Farmer groups can also be important platforms for learning about complex innovations, including novel risk transfer products. These concrete results are specific to Kenya; however, they provide some broader policy-relevant insights into typical issues of WII in a small-farm context.…”
