In silico reversal of repeat-induced point mutation (RIP) identifies the origins of repeat families and uncovers obscured duplicated genes [PDF]

, 2010
Background: Repeat-induced point mutation (RIP) is a fungal genome defence mechanism guarding against transposon invasion. RIP mutates the sequence of repeated DNA and over time renders the affected regions unrecognisable by similarity search tools such ...

Genetic analysis of some agronomic traits in groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.)

International Journal of Agricultural Research, Innovation and Technology, 2013
A 10×10 half diallel experiment was conducted on groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) to ascertain the gene action and genetic parameters of ten traits including 50% flowering, no. of pods per plant, plant height, harvest index, pod index, 100 pod weight, 100

Quantitative genetics theory for genomic selection and efficiency of genotypic value prediction in open-pollinated populations

Scientia Agricola
: Quantitative genetics theory for genomic selection has mainly focused on additive effects. This study presents quantitative genetics theory applied to genomic selection aiming to prove that prediction of genotypic value based on thousands of single ...

Genetic determinism in the Finnish upper secondary school biology textbooks

Nordina: Nordic Studies in Science Education, 2015
Genetics is a fast-developing field and it has been argued that genetics education is lagging behind. Genetics education has, for example, been suspected of indoctrinating strong genetic determinism. As the updating of the national upper secondary school

Molecular genetic heterogeneity in autosomal dominant drusen [PDF]

Journal of Medical Genetics, 2001
OBJECTIVE Autosomal dominant drusen is of particular interest because of its phenotypic similarity to age related macular degeneration. Currently, mutation R345W ofEFEMP1 and, in a single pedigree, linkage to chromosome 6q14 have been causally related to the disease. We proposed to investigate and quantify the roles

Error threshold in the evolution of diploid organisms

, 1996
The effects of error propagation in the reproduction of diploid organisms are studied within the populational genetics framework of the quasispecies model. The dependence of the error threshold on the dominance parameter is fully investigated.

Evolved polygenic herbicide resistance in Lolium rigidum by low-dose herbicide selection within standing genetic variation [PDF]

, 2012
The interaction between environment and genetic traits under selection is the basis of evolution. In this study, we have investigated the genetic basis of herbicide resistance in a highly characterized initially herbicide-susceptible Lolium rigidum ...

Genetic heterogeneity in autosomal dominant essential tremor [PDF]

Genetics in Medicine, 2001
To perform linkage analysis of candidate loci in a large Midwestern family with autosomal dominant essential tremor.Thirty-eight members of a six-generation family were evaluated for essential tremor using consensus criteria. Linkage analysis was performed with microsatellite markers reported for three genetic loci associated with familial essential ...

Quantitative trait loci for bone traits segregating independently of those for growth in an F-2 broiler X layer cross [PDF]

, 2007
An F broiler-layer cross was phenotyped for 18 skeletal traits at 6, 7 and 9 weeks of age and genotyped with 120 microsatellite markers. Interval mapping identified 61 suggestive and significant QTL on 16 of the 25 linkage groups for 16 traits.

Detecting selection-induced departures from Hardy-Weinberg proportions

Genetics Selection Evolution, 2009
Viability selection influences the genotypic contexts of alleles and leads to quantifiable departures from Hardy-Weinberg proportions. One measure of these departures is Wright's inbreeding coefficient (F), where observed heterozygosity is compared with ...
