Genetic prediction of male pattern baldness based on large independent datasets [PDF]

, 2023
Genetic prediction of male pattern baldness (MPB) is important in science and society. Previous genetic MPB prediction models were limited by sparse marker coverage, small sample size, and/or data dependency in the different analytical steps.

Combining genome-wide association studies highlight novel loci involved in human facial variation

Nature Communications, 2022
Combining multiple related traits can increase power in genetic association studies. Here, the authors develop a method to integrate GWAS statistics for multiple traits and apply it to find genetic loci affecting human facial variation.

Protozoan Parasites of Sarcocystis spp. in Rodents from Commercial Orchards

Animals, 2023
Small mammals are an important group of wildlife that can transmit pathogens to humans and animals. There is a lack of comprehensive studies on the protozoan parasites of the genus Sarcocystis in agricultural areas. The aim of the current research was to

Proportioning whole-genome single-nucleotide-polymorphism diversity for the identification of geographic population structure and genetic ancestry [PDF]

, 2006
The identification of geographic population structure and genetic ancestry on the basis of a minimal set of genetic markers is desirable for a wide range of applications in medical and forensic sciences.

Microbial DNA fingerprinting of human fingerprints: dynamic colonization of fingertip microflora challenges human host inferences for forensic purposes [PDF]

, 2009
Human fingertip microflora is transferred to touched objects and may provide forensically relevant information on individual hosts, such as on geographic origins, if endogenous microbial skin species/strains would be retrievable from physical ...

From forensic epigenetics to forensic epigenomics: broadening DNA investigative intelligence

Genome Biology, 2017
Human genetic variation is a major resource in forensics, but does not allow all forensically relevant questions to be answered. Some questions may instead be addressable via epigenomics, as the epigenome acts as an interphase between the fixed genome ...

MRNA-based skin identification for forensic applications [PDF]

, 2011
Although the identification of human skin cells is of important relevance in many forensic cases, there is currently no reliable method available. Here, we present a highly specific and sensitive messenger RNA (mRNA) approach for skin identification ...

Identification of consistent functional genetic modules [PDF]

Statistical Applications in Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2016
AbstractIt is often of scientific interest to find a set of genes that may represent an independent functional module or network, such as a functional gene expression module causing a biological response, a transcription regulatory network, or a constellation of mutations jointly causing a disease.
