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.

Ironing out the details: Untangling dietary iron and genetic background in diabetes [PDF]

, 2018
The search for genetic risk factors in type-II diabetes has been hindered by a failure to consider dietary variables. Dietary nutrients impact metabolic disease risk and severity and are essential to maintaining metabolic health.

Intra- and inter-individual genetic differences in gene expression [PDF]

, 2008
Genetic variation is known to influence the amount of mRNA produced by a gene. Given that the molecular machines control mRNA levels of multiple genes, we expect genetic variation in the components of these machines would influence multiple genes in a ...

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 ...

The effect of genomic information on optimal contribution selection in livestock breeding programs [PDF]

, 2013
BACKGROUND: Long-term benefits in animal breeding programs require that increases in genetic merit be balanced with the need to maintain diversity (lost due to inbreeding). This can be achieved by using optimal contribution selection. The availability of

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

Frontiers 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 ...

The Genetic Basis of Mutation Rate Variation in Yeast. [PDF]

, 2018
Mutations are the root source of genetic variation and underlie the process of evolution. Although the rates at which mutations occur vary considerably between species, little is known about differences within species, or the genetic and molecular basis ...

The role of mutation rate variation and genetic diversity in the architecture of human disease [PDF]

, 2013
Background We have investigated the role that the mutation rate and the structure of genetic variation at a locus play in determining whether a gene is involved in disease.

Genetic variation and population structure of the mushroom Pleurotus ferulae in China inferred from nuclear DNA analysis

Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2016
To investigate the genetic diversity of an edible fungus Pleurotus ferulae, a total of 89 wild samples collected from six geographical locations in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region of China and two geographical locations in Italy, were analyzed using
