Long-distance plant dispersal to North Atlantic islands:colonization routes and founder effect [PDF]
, 2015 Long-distance dispersal (LDD) processes influence the founder effect on islands.We use genetic data for 25 Atlantic species and similarities among regional floras to analyse colonization, and test whether the genetic founder effect on five islands is ...

Anatomy of a founder effect: myotonic dystrophy in Northeastern Quebec. [PDF]
, 2005 International audienceFounder effects are largely responsible for changes in frequency profiles of genetic variants in local populations or isolates. They are often recognized by elevated incidence of certain hereditary disorders as observed in regions ...

Parasitology, 2023 Model parasite species, whose entire life cycle can be completed in the laboratory and maintained for multiple generations, have played a fundamental role in our understanding of host–parasite interactions. Yet, keeping parasites in laboratory conditions

Advances in Laboratory Medicine, 2023 Hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC) follows an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern of cancer susceptibility genes. The risk of developing this disease is primarily associated with germline mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes.

Legacy of mutiny on the Bounty: founder effect and admixture on Norfolk Island
, 2009 The population of Norfolk Island, located off the eastern coast of Australia, possesses an unusual and fascinating history. Most present-day islanders are related to a small number of the 'Bounty' mutineer founders.

The effective founder effect in a spatially expanding population [PDF]
, 2014 1 Abstract The gradual loss of diversity associated with range expansions is a well known pattern observed in many species, and can be explained with a serial founder model. We show that under a branching process approximation, this loss in diversity is due to the difference in offspring variance ...

Founder personality and start-up subsidies [PDF]
, 2023 Start-up subsidies play an important role in supporting start-up innovation and performance. However, what characteristics help and hinder start-ups to seek start-up subsidies remains unclear.

Genetic diversity and demographic history of introduced sika deer on the Delmarva Peninsula
Ecology and Evolution, 2019 The introduction of non‐native species can have long‐term effects on native plant and animal communities. Introduced populations are occasionally not well understood and offer opportunities to evaluate changes in genetic structure through time and major ...

Frontiers in Genetics, 2019 Non-syndromic hearing loss (NSHL) is a hereditary disorder that affects many populations. Many genes are involved in NSHL and the mutational load of these genes often differs among ethnic groups. Claudin-14 (CLDN14), a tight junction protein, is known to
