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

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.

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 ...

Benefits of host genetic diversity for resistance to infection depend on parasite diversity [PDF]

, 2010
Host populations with high genetic diversity are predicted to have lower levels of infection prevalence. This theory assumes that host genetic diversity results in variation in susceptibility and that parasites exhibit variation in infectivity. Empirical

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.

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

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 ...
