An F2 Barley Population as a Tool for Teaching Mendelian Genetics
Plants, 2021 In the context of a general genetics course, mathematical descriptions of Mendelian inheritance and population genetics are sometimes discouraging and students often have serious misconceptions.

Selective Sweeps Under Dominance and Inbreeding
G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2020 A major research goal in evolutionary genetics is to uncover loci experiencing positive selection. One approach involves finding ‘selective sweeps’ patterns, which can either be ‘hard sweeps’ formed by de novo mutation, or ‘soft sweeps’ arising from ...

Theoretical aspects of heterosis
Вавиловский журнал генетики и селекции, 2016 The phenomenon of heterosis, known as superior performance of hybrid organism compared with either of their parents, has been exploited by agricultural practices in the production of various crops since the beginning of the last century; however, its ...

A Review on Genetic Dominant Disorder-Polydactyly [PDF]
International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development, 2019 Polydactyly is genetic disorder in which there is mutation of gene that is located on short arm of chromosome 7. One gene that can cause polydactyly is GLI3 and it is one among number of genes that are known to be involved in the patterning of tissues and organs during development of the embryo.

Relationships between estimated autozygosity and complex traits in the UK Biobank [PDF]
, 2018 Inbreeding increases the risk of certain Mendelian disorders in humans but may also reduce fitness through its effects on complex traits and diseases. Such inbreeding depression is thought to occur due to increased homozygosity at causal variants that ...
