Genetic variation in healthy oldest-old.
PLoS ONE, 2009 Individuals who live to 85 and beyond without developing major age-related diseases may achieve this, in part, by lacking disease susceptibility factors, or by possessing resistance factors that enhance their ability to avoid disease and prolong lifespan.

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

Plant Conservation Practitioners Can Benefit from Neutral Genetic Diversity
Diversity, 2021 Several papers deal with a conservation genetics gap in which plant conservation and restoration managers or practitioners do not soundly integrate population genetics information into conservation management. Authors concerned about this issue point out

Polymorphism of the grasshopper Rhammatocerus schistocercoides populations revealed by RAPD [PDF]
Pesquisa Agropecuária Brasileira, 2002 The objective of this work was to study the genetic variability of the grasshopper Rhammatocerus schistocercoides (Orthoptera: Acrididae) using RAPD analysis among individuals from three populations, one from Colombia and two from Brazil (Goiás and Mato ...

Genetic study of litter size and litter uniformity in Landrace pigs
Revista Brasileira de Zootecnia, 2020 We aimed to estimate litter size and litter uniformity genetic parameters and genetic trends of Landrace pigs at birth and at three weeks by using multitrait analyses for 2,787 litters.
