Identification of Genetic Networks [PDF]
AbstractIn this report, we propose the use of structural equations as a tool for identifying and modeling genetic networks and genetic algorithms for searching the most likely genetic networks that best fit the data. After genetic networks are identified, it is fundamental to identify those networks influencing cell phenotypes.

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

Target identification strategies in plant chemical biology [PDF]
The current needs to understand gene function in plant biology increasingly require more dynamic and conditional approaches opposed to classic genetic strategies.

From forensic epigenetics to forensic epigenomics: broadening DNA investigative intelligence
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 ...

The use of DNA markers for genetic differentiation of common (Avena sativa L.) and naked oat (Avena nuda L.) [PDF]
The usefulness of genetic identification of varieties for seed quality analyses becomes important, when we suspect the presence of another variety, species or even genus, based on morphological seed traits in the purity analysis and germination test ...

The genetic architecture underlying the evolution of a rare piscivorous life history form in brown trout after secondary contact and strong introgression [PDF]
Identifying the genetic basis underlying phenotypic divergence and reproductive isolation is a longstanding problem in evolutionary biology. Genetic signals of adaptation and reproductive isolation are often confounded by a wide range of factors, such as

Identification of cellular automata based on incomplete observations with bounded time gaps [PDF]
In this paper, the problem of identifying the cellular automata (CAs) is considered. We frame and solve this problem in the context of incomplete observations, i.e., prerecorded, incomplete configurations of the system at certain, and unknown time stamps.

Identification of consistent functional genetic modules [PDF]
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.
