Erwin Schrödinger und die Versuchungen der (Wissenschafts‐)Biografik: Vorurteilsgefüge und Mechanismen der Skandalisierung

open access: yesBerichte zur Wissenschaftsgeschichte, Volume 49, Issue 2, Page 135-293, June 2026.
Since late 2021, serious allegations have been made against physicist Erwin Schrödinger, ranging from pedophilia to serial sexual abuse. These accusations have significantly tarnished the Nobel Prize winner's public reputation. The ongoing debate has repeatedly raised the question of whether, and to what extent, these grave allegations are justified ...

Associations of autozygosity with a broad range of human phenotypes

open access: yesNature Communications, 2019
Inbreeding depression has been observed in many different species, but in humans a systematic analysis has been difficult so far. Here, analysing more than 1.3 million individuals, the authors show that a genomic inbreeding coefficient (FROH) is ...

Putative Genomic Signatures of Local Adaptation in Five Local Indonesian Sheep Reveal Selection on Immunity, Reproduction, and Production Traits

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
We determined the genetic structure and signatures of selection in five local Indonesian sheep breeds using genome‐wide SNP data. By integrating population structure analyses with runs of homozygosity and haplotype‐based selection scans, we identified breed‐specific genomic regions associated with immunity, reproduction, pigmentation, metabolism, and ...

Comparative genome-wide analysis of Ovis aries in Saudi Arabia highlighting inbreeding and genetic isolation of the Najdi sheep breed

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics
IntroductionSheep (Ovis aries) farming through traditional practices plays a vital role in the socio-economic development of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). Genetic relationships among KSA sheep breeds remain poorly characterized.MethodsIn this study,

Whole Genome Analyses of the Endangered Northern Abalone (Haliotis kamtschatkana) Reveal Population Differentiation and a Genomic Signature of a Dramatic Population Decline

open access: yesEvolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Despite widespread declines of many wildlife species, the effects of population decline on the genome and the recovery potential of affected species are still poorly understood, especially beyond a few charismatic species. The Northern abalone (or Pinto abalone; Haliotis kamtschatkana) is a marine gastropod mollusk of social, cultural and ...

Whole-genome sequencing reveals patterns of runs of homozygosity underlying genetic diversity and selection in domestic rabbits

open access: yesBMC Genomics
Background Runs of homozygosity (ROH) are continuous segments of homozygous genotypes inherited from both parental lineages. These segments arise due to the transmission of identical haplotypes. The genome-wide patterns and hotspot regions of ROH provide

Synteny Enabled Upgrade of the Galapagos Giant Tortoise Genome Improves Inferences of Runs of Homozygosity

open access: yesEcology and Evolution
The utility and importance of whole‐genome sequences are recognized across various fields, including evolution and conservation. However, for some taxa, like extinct species, using methods to generate contiguous genomes that rely on high‐quality DNA is ...

Genome-Wide Characterization of Selection Signatures and Runs of Homozygosity in Ugandan Goat Breeds

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2018
Both natural and artificial selection are among the main driving forces shaping genetic variation across the genome of livestock species. Selection typically leaves signatures in the genome, which are often characterized by high genetic differentiation ...

Inbreeding and genetic load in a pair of sibling grouse species: Tetrastes sewersowi and T. bonasia

open access: yesAvian Research
Genetic load and inbreeding are recognized as important factors to be considered in conservation programs. Elevated levels of both can increase the risk of population extinction by negatively impacting fitness-related characters in many species of plants

Genetic characterization of the Latvian local goat breed and genetic traits associated with somatic cell count

open access: yesAnimal
The Latvian local goat (LVK) breed represents the only native domestic goat breed in Latvia, but its limited population places it within the endangered category.
