Why do mutant allele frequencies in oncogenes peak around .40 and rapidly decrease?

open access: yesLetters in Biomathematics, 2016
The mutant allele frequencies in oncogenes peak around .40 and rapidly decrease. In this article, we explain why this is the case. Invoking a key result from mathematical analysis in our model, namely, the inverse function theorem, we estimate the ...

Genetic and Environmental Contribution to Social Dominance Orientation and its Overlap with HEXACO Personality Traits: A Twin Study

open access: yesPsychological Topics, 2021
Social dominance orientation (SDO), i.e. the preference toward egalitarian or hierarchically arranged relations within a society may be studied from social/contextual, but also dispositional perspective.

The molecular basis of genetic dominance. [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Medical Genetics, 1994
Studies of mutagenesis in many organisms indicate that the majority (over 90%) of mutations are recessive to wild type. If recessiveness represents the 'default' state, what are the distinguishing features that make a minority of mutations give rise to dominant or semidominant characters?

Nature or Nurture? The Concentration of African Americans in Specific Sports [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The prevalence of African Americans in certain American professional sports is certainly evident. Their prevalence is particularly pertinent and commonly associated with sports such as basketball, football, and track. The percentage of the players in the

PAGER: A novel genotype encoding strategy for modeling deviations from additivity in complex trait association studies

open access: yesBioData Mining
Background The additive model of inheritance assumes that heterozygotes (Aa) are exactly intermediate in respect to homozygotes (AA and aa). While this model is commonly used in single-locus genetic association studies, significant deviations from ...
