Aerobiology of the Wheat Blast Pathogen: Inoculum Monitoring and Detection of Fungicide Resistance Alleles [PDF]
Wheat blast, caused by the ascomycetous fungus Pyricularia oryzae Triticum lineage (PoTl), is mainly controlled by fungicide use, but resistance to the main fungicide groups—sterol demethylase (DMI), quinone outside (QoI), and succinate ...

Selection on Alleles Affecting Human Longevity and Late-Life Disease: The Example of Apolipoprotein E [PDF]
It is often claimed that genes affecting health in old age, such as cardiovascular and Alzheimer diseases, are beyond the reach of natural selection. We show in a simulation study based on known genetic (apolipoprotein E) and non-genetic risk factors ...

Comparison of short tandem repeat loci D2S1338 and D18S51 in the populations of the Republic of Srpska and the autonomous province of Vojvodina [PDF]
Introduction: Numerous human migrations between Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia's northern province of Vojvodina have led to the increased mixing of these population's genetic pool, leading to a reduction in genetic differences. The question is whether

Allele age and a test for selection on rare alleles [PDF]
An approximate expression for the probability distribution of the age of a neutral allele as a function of its frequency is derived for a population undergoing arbitrary changes in population size. A simple maximum–likelihood estimator of allele age based on frequency is also obtained.
