Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Sheep production contributes to a secure and diverse food and fibre supply in the United States, with growing ethnic diversity strengthening demand. Katahdin is a composite hair‐type sheep breed developed in the United States that has become the most popular breed in many regions of the country and the first one to have genomic selection ...

The Case | Epistasis and urolithiasis
Kidney International, 2017 A 26-year-old woman was referred for recurrent urolithiasis. The first manifestation occurred 3 years before, followed by recurrent acute episodes. She underwent one ureteral stent placement, one shock wave lithotripsy, and at last a flexible ureteroscopy that allowed to retrieve all the remaining stones.

Phenotypic plasticity is broadly adaptive across an elevation gradient in the Cutleaf Monkeyflower
New Phytologist, EarlyView.Leaf shape plasticity expression is variable in Mimulus laciniatus. Summary Phenotypic plasticity is a key mechanism by which organisms cope with environmental heterogeneity, but its evolutionary consequences depend on how plastic responses align with the broader adaptive landscape.

Ion Channel Dysfunction and Therapeutic Targeting in Salivary Gland Disorders
Oral Diseases, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Salivary gland hypofunction and xerostomia represent major clinical complications of radiation therapy, autoimmune disorders such as Sjögren's disease, and inherited epithelial ion transport defects. This review integrates current knowledge on ion channel dysfunction as a central mechanistic driver of salivary gland pathology and ...

Performance analysis of novel methods for detecting epistasis
BMC Bioinformatics, 2011 Background Epistasis is recognized fundamentally important for understanding the mechanism of disease-causing genetic variation. Though many novel methods for detecting epistasis have been proposed, few studies focus on their comparison.

Structural Variations Contribute to Subspeciation and Yield Heterosis in Rice
Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Yield heterosis has been extensively exploited in hybrid breeding, with intersubspecific hybrids often exhibiting the most pronounced effects. However, developing elite hybrids remains a laborious and time‐consuming process. The genetic basis of heterosis has been debated for over a century, hindered largely by the lack of high‐quality genomes.

A Novel AP2/ERF Transcription Factor Controls Trichome Initiation and Fruit Development in Cucumber
Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Trichomes, the hair‐like outgrowths of the plant epidermis, are critical for defence, reproduction and development. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms governing their initiation remain elusive. Here, we identified CsGL2, an AP2/ERF transcription factor, as a key integrator controlling trichome initiation and fruit development in ...

Haplotypes and Machine Learning Improve Genomic Prediction in Brassica napus
Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Genomic selection (GS) is a crop and livestock improvement method suited for predicting complex agronomical traits, while genomic prediction (GP) is the development of GS models prior to their practical use in breeding programs. One of the challenges in GP is accounting for how complex genomic interactions, such as epistasis, affect the ...
