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

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

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.

Genetics of Intraspecies Variation in Avoidance Behavior Induced by a Thermal Stimulus in Caenorhabditis elegans. [PDF]
, 2015 Individuals within a species vary in their responses to a wide range of stimuli, partly as a result of differences in their genetic makeup. Relatively little is known about the genetic and neuronal mechanisms contributing to diversity of behavior in ...

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.

Does habitat stability structure intraspecific genetic diversity? It’s complicated... [PDF]
, 2020 Regional phylogeographic studies have long been conducted in the southeastern United States for a variety of species. With some exceptions, many of these studies focus on single species or single clades of organisms, and those considering multiple ...

Visualizing genetic constraints [PDF]
, 2013 Principal Components Analysis (PCA) is a common way to study the sources of variation in a high-dimensional data set. Typically, the leading principal components are used to understand the variation in the data or to reduce the dimension of the data for ...

Assessment of Genetic Diversity and Conservation in South African Indigenous Goat Ecotypes: A Review
Animals, 2022 Goats were amongst the first livestock to be domesticated more than 10,000 years ago for their meat, milk, skin, and fiber. They were introduced to Southern Africa by migrating nations from Central Africa to the south.
