Genetic Variation of PPARs [PDF]

PPAR Research, 2009
Welcome to this special issue of PPAR Research dedicated to the “Genetic Variation of PPARs.” Since PPARs are nuclear transcription factors regulating multiple genes involved in energy production, glucose and lipid metabolism, polymorphisms in these receptors may influence the pathology of numerous diseases including obesity, diabetes, atherosclerosis,

Genetic Variation and Atherosclerosis [PDF]

Current Genomics, 2008
A family history of atherosclerosis is independently associated with an increased incidence of cardiovascular events. The genetic factors underlying the importance of inheritance in atherosclerosis are starting to be understood. Genetic variation, such as mutations or common polymorphisms has been shown to be involved in modulation of a range of risk ...

Cryptic genetic variation [PDF]

Current Biology, 2008
What is cryptic genetic variation? Cryptic genetic variation refers to unexpressed, bottled-up genetic potential. It is not normally seen, but is expressed under abnormal conditions such as in a new environment or a different genetic background.

Genetic variation in the zebrafish [PDF]

Genome Research, 2006
Although zebrafish was introduced as a laboratory model organism several decades ago and now serves as a primary model for developmental biology, there is only limited data on its genetic variation. An establishment of a dense polymorphism map becomes a requirement for effective linkage analysis and cloning approaches in zebrafish. By comparing ESTs to

Levels of genetic polymorphism: marker loci versus quantitative traits [PDF]

, 1998
Species are the units used to measure ecological diversity and alleles are the units of genetic diversity. Genetic variation within and among species has been documented most extensively using allozyme electrophoresis.

Phenotypic robustness can increase phenotypic variability after non-genetic perturbations in gene regulatory circuits [PDF]

, 2010
Non-genetic perturbations, such as environmental change or developmental noise, can induce novel phenotypes. If an induced phenotype confers a fitness advantage, selection may promote its genetic stabilization. Non-genetic perturbations can thus initiate

Distribution of genetic diversity in wild European populations of prickly lettuce (Lactuca serriola): implications for plant genetic resources management [PDF]

, 2010
Genetic variation in Lactuca serriola, the closest wild relative of cultivated lettuce, was studied across Europe from the Czech Republic to the United Kingdom, using three molecular marker systems, simple sequence repeat (SSR, microsatellites), AFLP and

Genetic Covariance Structure of Reading, Intelligence and Memory in Children [PDF]

, 2009
This study investigates the genetic relationship among reading performance, IQ, verbal and visuospatial working memory (WM) and short-term memory (STM) in a sample of 112, 9-year-old twin pairs and their older siblings.

Genetic analysis of environmental variation [PDF]

Genetics Research, 2010
SummaryEnvironmental variation (VE) in a quantitative trait – variation in phenotype that cannot be explained by genetic variation or identifiable genetic differences – can be regarded as being under some degree of genetic control. Such variation may be either between repeated expressions of the same trait within individuals (e.g. for bilateral traits),
