ABSTRACT Growth heterosis is crucial for Populus deltoides breeding, a key industrial‐timber and ecological‐construction tree species in temperate regions. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying carbon (C)–nitrogen (N) metabolism coordination in regulating growth heterosis remain unclear. Herein high‐hybrids of P.

DCA for genome-wide epistasis analysis: the statistical genetics perspective [PDF]
Direct Coupling Analysis (DCA) is a now widely used method to leverage statistical information from many similar biological systems to draw meaningful conclusions on each system separately. DCA has been applied with great success to sequences of homologous proteins, and also more recently to whole-genome population-wide sequencing data.

Background In genome-wide association studies the extent and impact of confounding due to population structure have been well recognized. Inadequate handling of such confounding is likely to lead to spurious associations, hampering replication, and the ...

Multi‐drug resistance and compensatory mutations in Mycobacterium tuberculosis in Vietnam
Abstract Background Vietnam is a hotspot for the emergence and spread of multidrug‐resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis. This study aimed to perform a retrospective study on the compensatory evolution in multidrug‐resistant M. tuberculosis strains and the association with drug‐resistant mutations and M. tuberculosis genotypes.

Fiuncho: a program for any-order epistasis detection in CPU clusters [PDF]
Epistasis can be defined as the statistical interaction of genes during the expression of a phenotype. It is believed that it plays a fundamental role in gene expression, as individual genetic variants have reported a very small increase in disease risk in previous Genome-Wide Association Studies.

Summary Many specialized metabolic pathways have evolved convergently in plants, but distinguishing multiple origins from alternative evolutionary scenarios can be difficult. Here, we explore the evolution of l‐3,4‐dihydroxyphenylalanine (l‐DOPA) 4,5‐dioxygenase (DODA) enzymes to better resolve the convergent evolution of the betalain biosynthetic ...

Epistasis: Searching for Interacting Genetic Variants Using Crosses [PDF]
Within quantitative genetics, the term “epistasis” is used to broadly describe situations in which combinations of genetic variants show nonadditive phenotypic effects ([Phillips 1998][1], [2008][2]; [Mackay 2014][3]).

An “immortalized F2” (IF2) population and two reciprocal backcross (HSBCF1 and MARBCF1) populations were constructed to investigate the genetic bases of fiber quality traits in upland cotton across four different environments.

Abstract Despite the enormous achievements recorded in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) breeding using traditional and molecular approaches, most cultivars find humid environments highly unfavorable. As a result, fruit production cannot meet the rapidly increasing global demand.

Abstract The complex genotype‐to‐phenotype relationships in Mendelian diseases can be elucidated by mutation‐induced disturbances to the networks of molecular interactions (interactomes) in human cells. Missense and nonsense mutations cause distinct perturbations within the human protein interactome, leading to functional and phenotypic effects with ...
