The objective of this work was to study genetic diversity by comparing whole genome sequence data of Rutana, Gumuz and Washera sheep found in Amhara and Benishanguel gumuz regional states of Ethiopia. We employed variant calling format tools version...
Osteosarcoma is a rare disorder among cancer, but the most frequently occurring among sarcomas in children and adolescents. It has been reported to possess the relapsing capability as well as accompanying collateral adverse effects which hinder the...
Improving the performance of low-productivity smallholder farmers is a pathway with great potential for reducing poverty and enhancing food security and nutrition in sub-Saharan Africa. Using experimental data from Ethiopia and a mediated stochastic...
With a clear decrease in the agricultural households’ incomes, the increase of food and production
factors prices, and the negative effects of climate change on agricultural production, smallholders’
farmers are facing food insecurity challenge...
The basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor is a vital
component in plant biology, with a significant impact on various aspects of
plant growth, cell development, and physiological processes. Grass pea is a
vital agricultural crop that...
Breeding programs involving either centralized nucleus schemes and/or importation of exotic germplasm for crossbreeding were not successful and sustainable in most Africa countries. Community-based breeding programs (CBBPs) are now suggested as...
Community-based breeding programs (CBBPs) have shown, at pilot scale, to be effective and beneficial in achieving genetic progress and in improving livelihoods of smallholder communities. In Ethiopia 134 sheep and goat CBBPs were operational...
