Setaria Comes of Age: Meeting Report on the Second International Setaria Genetics Conference
Setaria viridis is an emerging model for cereal and bioenergy grasses because of its short stature, rapid life cycle and expanding genetic and genomic toolkits.

Genetically altered rat and mouse models have been instrumental in the functional analysis of genes in a physiological context. In particular, studies on the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) have profited from this technology in the past. In this review, we summarize the existing animal models for the protective axis of the RAS consisting of angiotensin ...

Genetics of Arthrogryposis and Macroglossia in Piemontese Cattle Breed
Arthrogryposis and macroglossia are congenital pathologies known in several cattle breeds, including Piemontese. As variations in single genes were identified as responsible for arthrogryposis in some breeds, we decided: (i) to test the hypothesis of a ...

Joint Modeling of Imaging and Genetics [PDF]
We propose a unified Bayesian framework for detecting genetic variants associated with a disease while exploiting image-based features as an intermediate phenotype. Traditionally, imaging genetics methods comprise two separate steps. First, image features are selected based on their relevance to the disease phenotype.

Genetic model misspecification in genetic association studies [PDF]
The underlying model of the genetic determinant of a trait is generally not known with certainty a priori. Hence, in genetic association studies, a dominant model might be erroneously modelled as additive, an error investigated previously. We explored this question, for candidate gene studies, by evaluating the sample size required to compensate for ...

Optimizing the Jiles-Atherton Model of Hysteresis by a genetic algorithm [PDF]
Modeling magnetic components for simulation in electric circuits requires an accurate model of the hysteresis loop of the core material used. It is important that the parameters extracted for the hysteresis model be optimized across the range of ...

The distribution of the deep geothermal field and the tectonic thermal control mode in the Yingshan area were not understood systematically, which would bring in constraints to the sustainable exploration of local geothermal resources. Based on the field

Genetic algorithms are a practical approach for finding near-optimal solutions for nondeterministic polynomial-hard problems. In this work we exploit the parallel processing capability of graphics processing units and Nvidia's CUDA programming platform ...

Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome gene mutations modulate cancer susceptibility in the p53± murine model
The Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein (WASp) is a key regulator of the actin cytoskeleton in hematopoietic cells and mutated in two severe immunodeficiency diseases with high incidence of cancer.

Neonatal hydrocephalus affects about one child per 1000 births and is a major congenital brain abnormality. We previously discovered a gene mutation within the coiled-coil domain-containing 39 (Ccdc39) gene, which causes the progressive hydrocephalus ...
