Estimation of genetic variation in residual variance in female and male broiler chickens [PDF]
, 2008 In breeding programs, robustness of animals and uniformity of end product can be improved by exploiting genetic variation in residual variance. Residual variance can be defined as environmental variance after accounting for all identifiable effects.

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 ...

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 ...

, 2021 Abstract An introduction to randomness and the neutral theory of molecular evolution and how it contributes to levels of genetic diversity in populations. The estimation of random shifts in allele frequencies over time is discussed using the binomial probability distribution.

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 ...

Genetic variation in Cumbrians
Annals of Human Biology, 1981 Regional variation in the genetic constitution of the Cumbrian population is demonstrated in a survey of blood groups, red cell enzymes, and secretor status in a large sample of schoolchildren. In particular, the south and centre appear to be distinct from the remainder of Cumbria, but in different directions. The features of the central Lake District,

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.

Impact of pharmacogenetics on aspirin resistance: a systematic review
Arquivos de Neuro-Psiquiatria, 2023 Background Pharmacogenetics promises better control of diseases such as cardiovascular disease (CVD). Acetylsalicylic acid, aspirin, prevents the formation of an activating agent of platelet aggregation and vasoconstriction, and it is used to prevent CVD.
