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.

Translational regulation contributes to the elevated CO2 response in two Solanum species. [PDF]

, 2020
Understanding the impact of elevated CO2 (eCO2 ) in global agriculture is important given climate change projections. Breeding climate-resilient crops depends on genetic variation within naturally varying populations.

The Stabilizing Effect Of Intraspecific Genetic Variation On Population Dynamics In Novel And Ancestral Habitats [PDF]

, 2009
Recent studies show that intraspecific genetic variation in asexual species may have large effects on community and ecosystem functions, increasing their stability, productivity, and species richness.

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.

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 ...

Genetic Variation and Atherosclerosis [PDF]

Current Genomics, 2008
A family history of atherosclerosis is independently associated with an increased incidence of cardiovascular events. The genetic factors underlying the importance of inheritance in atherosclerosis are starting to be understood. Genetic variation, such as mutations or common polymorphisms has been shown to be involved in modulation of a range of risk ...

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

Journal 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.
