A foundation for provitamin A biofortification of maize: genome-wide association and genomic prediction models of carotenoid levels. [PDF]
Efforts are underway for development of crops with improved levels of provitamin A carotenoids to help combat dietary vitamin A deficiency. As a global staple crop with considerable variation in kernel carotenoid composition, maize (Zea mays L.) could ...

Contribution of common and rare variants to bipolar disorder susceptibility in extended pedigrees from population isolates. [PDF]
Current evidence from case/control studies indicates that genetic risk for psychiatric disorders derives primarily from numerous common variants, each with a small phenotypic impact. The literature describing apparent segregation of bipolar disorder (BP)

Syringohydromyelia in Dogs: The Genomic Component Underlying a Complex Neurological Disease
Syringohydromyelia (SHM) is a neurological disorder characterized by the appearance of fluid-containing cavities within the spinal cord. Although SHM is thought to be under multigenic control, the molecular basis of this disease remains poorly defined. A
