OPTIMIZED USE OF LOW-DEPTH GENOTYPING-BY-SEQUENCING FOR GENOMIC PREDICTION AMONG MULTI-PARENTAL FAMILY POOLS AND SINGLE PLANTS IN PERENNIAL RYEGRASS (LOLIUM PERENNE L.)

Ryegrass single plants, bi-parental family pools, and multi-parental family pools are often genotyped, based on allele-frequencies using genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) assays.GBS assays can be performed at low-coverage depth to reduce costs.However, reducing the coverage depth leads to a higher proportion of missing data, and leads to a reduction i

This study examined occupational hazards in small-scale sawmills in three Local Government Areas (Makurdi, Gwer west and Gwer east) in Benue state, Nigeria.A total of ten sawmills were sampled and visited.Ten copies of well-structured questionnaire were distributed in each sawmills to elicit information on the hazards supported by workers due to sa
