A global reference for human genetic variation [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 2015
The 1000 Genomes Project set out to provide a comprehensive description of common human genetic variation by applying whole-genome sequencing to a diverse set of individuals from multiple populations. Here we report completion of the project, having reconstructed the genomes of 2,504 individuals from 26 populations using a combination of low-coverage ...

Oracle selection provides insight into how far off practice is from Utopia in plant breeding

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2023
Since the introduction of genomic selection in plant breeding, high genetic gains have been realized in different plant breeding programs. Various methods based on genomic estimated breeding values (GEBVs) for selecting parental lines that maximize the ...

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

open access: yes, 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.

Invasion of Europe by the western corn rootworm, Diabrotica virgifera virgifera: multiple transatlantic introductions with various reductions of genetic diversity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The early stages of invasion involve demographic bottlenecks that may result in lower genetic variation in introduced populations as compared to source population/s. Low genetic variability may decrease the adaptive potential of such populations in their

Genetic variation in Cumbrians

open access: yesAnnals 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,

The association between single nucleotide polymorphism in vitamin D receptor and calcium oxalate urolithiasis in dogs

open access: yesJournal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, 2021
Background Polymorphisms of the vitamin D receptor (VDR) are associated with calcium oxalate (CaOx) nephrolithiasis in humans. Objectives To investigate the association between VDR polymorphisms and susceptibility to CaOx urolithiasis in dogs.

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

open access: yes, 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

Cryptic Genetic Variation in Evolutionary Developmental Genetics [PDF]

open access: yesBiology, 2016
Evolutionary developmental genetics has traditionally been conducted by two groups: Molecular evolutionists who emphasize divergence between species or higher taxa, and quantitative geneticists who study variation within species. Neither approach really comes to grips with the complexities of evolutionary transitions, particularly in light of the ...

Genetic variation in group A streptococci [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2007
Group A streptococcus (GAS) is responsible for a range of human diseases that vary in their clinical manifestations and severity. While numerous virulence factors have been described, the way these factors interact to promote different streptococcal diseases is less clear. In order to identify multifactorial relationships between GAS and the human host,

Genetics of PlGF plasma levels highlights a role of its receptors and supports the link between angiogenesis and immunity

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Placental growth factor (PlGF) is a member of the vascular endothelial growth factor family and is involved in bone marrow-derived cell activation, endothelial stimulation and pathological angiogenesis.
