Implementation of Metafounders in the Genomic Prediction for the Polled Trait in Brahman Cattle Using a Multi‐Breed Population

Animal Genetics, Volume 57, Issue 5, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The absence of horns (polled trait) in cattle is associated with better animal welfare by reducing the need for dehorning. In Brahman cattle, population size and the scarcity of phenotypic records challenge the accuracy of genomic predictions for this trait.

Female‐Specific Risk of TAS2R Variants in Chronic Rhinosinusitis: A Hospital‐Based Cohort Study From the Taiwan Precision Medicine Initiative

International Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, Volume 16, Issue 10, Page 1133-1141, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Bitter taste receptors (T2Rs) function in the innate immune defense of the sinonasal mucosa; however, the genetic association between the TAS2R gene family and chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) remains understudied in Asian populations.

Inbreeding determined by the amount of homozygous regions in the genome

, 2017
Hovedformålet med denne doktorgraden var å studere lange homozygote segmenter i genomet hos NRF, og å finne genomiske metoder som kan måle innavl mer nøyaktig enn ved bruk av slektskapsdatabase. I utgangspunktet var «runs of homozygosity» (ROH) valgt som en egnet og interessant metode for denne studien, fordi den var antatt å oppnå nøyaktige anslag ...

Urbanisation Leaves a Genetic Signature but No Detectable Demographic Effects in a Small Mammal Population

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.
Urbanisation can alter both genetic connectivity and demographic performance of wildlife populations, but these responses may occur on different temporal scales. Using multi‐year capture‐mark‐recapture data and microsatellite analyses of Eurasian red squirrels across an urbanisation gradient in Berlin, we found subtle genetic structuring without clear ...

Breeding Behaviors and Kinship in the Endangered Hawaiian Stilt (Ae‘o; Himantopus mexicanus knudseni)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.
A comparison of behavioral observations with genetic analyses of the Hawaiian Stilt on Molokaʻi revealed some evidence of conspecific parasitism, potential extra‐pair paternity, and inbreeding, although most observed family groups clustered together genetically, suggesting these alternative tactics may be relatively rare.

Genomics Reveal Population Crash and Range Contraction in Elusive Fijian Hylaeus Bees

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.
We used a novel paired low‐lying and canopy sampling technique with genomic data to assess the recently discovered canopy‐specialist Fijian Hylaeus bee clade. We found major (~99%) declines in population size since European colonisation, limited contemporary distributions and inter‐island genetic structuring.

Whole‐Genome Resequencing Reveals the Genetic Diversity and Adaptive Evolution of Rhabdophis nuchalis

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.
Rhabdophis nuchalis populations from four regions were analyzed using genome resequencing. The results showed that the Sichuan and Yunnan populations formed one cluster, while the Hubei and Shaanxi populations formed another. The Yunnan population displayed the highest genetic diversity.

Machine‐Learning Models Trained on Genomic Summary Statistics Assess Extinction Risk and Recovery Potential of Bottlenecked Populations [PDF]

Evol Appl
ABSTRACT Forecasting extinction risk from genomic data is challenging because of interactions among environment, demography, and genomic erosion. Here, we use known outcomes from forward simulations as a proof‐of‐concept study to test whether machine‐learning (ML) models can discriminate relative extinction risk and recovery potential from genomic ...

Multiple Genetic Lineages and Inter‐Island Gene Flow in Nemadactylus monodactylus at Tristan da Cunha: Implications for Phylogeography and Taxonomy

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.
We studied the genetics of the Five‐finger fish across the remote islands of Tristan da Cunha using mitochondrial DNA and microsatellites. mtDNA revealed four genetic clades, three of which were polyphyletic with congeners, and one potentially unique to Tristan da Cunha, suggesting current species classifications may be inaccurate.
