Optimum mating designs for exploiting dominance in genomic selection schemes for aquaculture species

Genetics Selection Evolution, 2021
Background In commercial fish, dominance effects could be exploited by predicting production abilities of the offspring that would be generated by different mating pairs and choosing those pairs that maximise the average offspring phenotype. Consequently,

An upstream open reading frame regulates expression of the mitochondrial protein Slm35 and mitophagy flux

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study reveals how the mitochondrial protein Slm35 is regulated in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The authors identify stress‐responsive DNA elements and two upstream open reading frames (uORFs) in the 5′ untranslated region of SLM35. One uORF restricts translation, and its mutation increases Slm35 protein levels and mitophagy.

Genetic and Phenotypic Features of the Five Known Polyaminopathies: A Critical Narrative Review

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Polyaminopathies are a recently described family of rare genetic neurodevelopmental disorders. Polyaminopathies disrupt the biosynthesis of the primary polyamines: putrescine, spermidine, and spermine. Snyder–Robinson syndrome results from hemizygous loss‐of‐function variants in the spermine synthase (SMS) gene, resulting in decreased or ...

Stability of closed and needle-punctured vials of Porvac® subunit vaccine against classical swine fever subjected to thermal stress

BMC Veterinary Research
Background Classical Swine Fever (CSF) is still one of the most economically important viral diseases of pigs. In endemic countries, the disease is controlled mostly through vaccination; hence, the availability of safe and effective vaccines is of utmost

Decision tree analysis as a preliminary evidence‐based tool for identifying the syndrome of undifferentiated recurrent fever in children compared with hereditary recurrent fevers and periodic fever, aphthosis, pharyngitis and adenitis syndrome

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Objective To develop evidence‐based criteria to classify SURF patients. Methods 112 SURF patients followed in a single tertiary referral center were analyzed. Patients with genetically confirmed hereditary recurrent fever (HRF) or with periodic fever, aphthosis, pharyngitis and adenitis (PFAPA) syndrome already analyzed for the Eurofever classification
