Molecular Genetic Influences on Normative and Problematic Alcohol Use in a Population-Based Sample of College Students [PDF]

, 2017
Background: Genetic factors impact alcohol use behaviors and these factors may become increasingly evident during emerging adulthood. Examination of the effects of individual variants as well as aggregate genetic variation can clarify mechanisms ...

Cryptic Genetic Variation in Evolutionary Developmental Genetics [PDF]

Biology, 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 ...

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.

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 ...

Genetic variation in group A streptococci [PDF]

International 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,

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

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 ...

Financial markets and genetic variation [PDF]

Journal of International Financial Markets, Institutions and Money, 2018
Abstract We investigate the extent to which a country’s degree of genetic variation contributes to the observed variation in financial market activity across countries. We postulate that genetic variation can affect financial markets through its impact on aggregate investment behavior, innovation in the financial sector, and productivity. Our country-
