    Abstract: Comprehensive information on genetic variability and selection parameters is very crucial to design breeding strategies. However, very limited information is available in Ethiopian linseed germplasm. Therefore, the present study was conducted to estimate genetic variability, broad sense heritability and genetic advance; and determine selection for ... Show More

    Abstract: Intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) is a prevalent degenerative disease and risk factors for it are complex and diverse. Due to limitations in observational research, identifying causal risk factors remains challenging. Mendelian randomization (MR), leveraging genetic variation as an instrumental variable (IV), has emerged as a powerful tool to... Show More
