Cross-border genetic testing [PDF]
As genetic testing (GT) is now available for many rare disorders, no GT laboratory can be expert enough to provide every test. Samples are therefore sent between laboratories for testing, often across borders. Such cross-border testing raises some questions: The 2003 OECD survey of 827 molecular GT laboratories in 18 countries found that 64% of ...

IRREGULAR GENETIC TRANSMISSION IN TETRAHYMENA CROSSES [PDF]
LLEN (1960) reported briefly an aberration in the breeding behavior of a Astrain (C*) of variety 1 of Tetrahymena pyriformis. Her later studies (ALLEN 1963) established the genetic parameters of the aberration and lead to the conclusion that the total genome of the C* strain is systematically excluded at conjugation.

Construction and extension of complicated genetic models for multiple-cross mating designs
According to the principles of general genetic model, and based on multiple-cross mating designs, additive-dominance-epistatic models with GE interaction and seed models including four genetic systems of diploid embryo, triploid endosperm, cytoplasm and ...

Combining ability and heritability estimates of main agronomic characters in rapeseed breeding lines using line × tester analysis [PDF]
To estimate the general and specific combining ability (GCA and SCA) effects of plant height, yield components, seed yield and oil content, three testers and six lines of spring type of rapeseed varieties were crossed using line × tester fashion ...

Cryptococcus neoformans Mating and Genetic Crosses [PDF]
AbstractThe Cryptococcus pathogenic species complex is a group of opportunistic human fungal pathogens that cause cryptococcal meningoencephalitis, an infection associated with unacceptably high mortality rates. The public health relevance of these pathogens has galvanized extensive research over the past several decades and led to characterization of ...

The evolutionary stability of cross-sex, cross-trait genetic covariances. [PDF]
Although knowledge of the selective agents behind the evolution of sexual dimorphism has advanced considerably in recent years, we still lack a clear understanding of the evolutionary durability of cross-sex genetic covariances that often constrain its evolution.

eQTL epistasis – challenges and computational approaches
The determination of eQTL epistasis - a form of functional interaction between genetic loci that affect gene expression - is an important step towards the thorough understanding of gene regulation.
