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.

Using eQTL weights to improve power for genome-wide association studies: a genetic study of childhood asthma

Frontiers in Genetics, 2013
Increasing evidence suggests that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with complex traits are more likely to be expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs).

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.

Network-assisted analysis of GWAS data identifies a functionally-relevant gene module for childhood-onset asthma

Scientific Reports, 2017
The number of genetic factors associated with asthma remains limited. To identify new genes with an undetected individual effect but collectively influencing asthma risk, we conducted a network-assisted analysis that integrates outcomes of genome-wide ...

Reduced Neuronal Transcription of Escargot, the Drosophila Gene Encoding a Snail-Type Transcription Factor, Promotes Longevity

Frontiers in Genetics, 2018
In recent years, several genes involved in complex neuron specification networks have been shown to control life span. However, information on these genes is scattered, and studies to discover new neuronal genes and gene cascades contributing to life ...

Wild worm embryogenesis harbors ubiquitous polygenic modifier variation

eLife, 2015
Embryogenesis is an essential and stereotypic process that nevertheless evolves among species. Its essentiality may favor the accumulation of cryptic genetic variation (CGV) that has no effect in the wild-type but that enhances or suppresses the effects ...

Genetic variability for vigor and yield of robusta coffee (Coffea canephora) clones in Ghana

Heliyon, 2022
Effectiveness of plant improvement programs, especially in perennial crops like coffee, may be improved by knowing the level of genetic variation which exist within a breeding population coupled with the knowledge of estimates of genetic parameters for ...

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

Genetics of trans-regulatory variation in gene expression

eLife, 2018
Heritable variation in gene expression forms a crucial bridge between genomic variation and the biology of many traits. However, most expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs) remain unidentified.
