Genome scan of Diabrotica virgifera virgifera for genetic variation associated with crop rotation tolerance [PDF]
Crop rotation has been a valuable technique for control of Diabrotica virgifera virgifera for almost a century. However, during the last two decades, crop rotation has ceased to be effective in an expanding area of the US corn belt.

Integration of microsatellite (SSR) markers in Hevea spp. reference genetic map : a powerful tool for genetic analysis of qualitative and quantitative agronomic traits [PDF]
In 2000, was published (Lespinasse et al. 2000) the 1st genetic map of rubber tree (Hevea spp.). This saturated map encompassed 717 loci, allowing an efficient coverage of the 18 chromosomes of the Hevea genome, and it can be considered as the reference ...

Common DNA markers can account for more than half of the genetic influence on cognitive abilities [PDF]
For nearly a century, twin and adoption studies have yielded substantial estimates of heritability for cognitive abilities, although it has proved difficult for genomewide-association studies to identify the genetic variants that account for this ...

Inferring Species Trees Directly from Biallelic Genetic Markers: Bypassing Gene Trees in a Full Coalescent Analysis [PDF]
The multi-species coalescent provides an elegant theoretical framework for estimating species trees and species demographics from genetic markers. Practical applications of the multi-species coalescent model are, however, limited by the need to integrate

Misspecification in mixed-model based association analysis
Additive genetic variance in natural populations is commonly estimated using mixed models, in which the covariance of the genetic effects is modeled by a genetic similarity matrix derived from a dense set of markers.

The features of forming of dermatoglyphics of feet are compared for sportsmen and people, which do not go in for sports. In researches took part 209 men and 198 women in age 17-19 years, which did not go in for systematic sports.
