Filamentous fungi rapidly evolve in response to environmental selection pressures in part due to their genomic plasticity. Parastagonospora nodorum, a fungal pathogen of wheat and causal agent of septoria nodorum blotch, responds to selection pressure ...

Genomic selection: the option for new robustness traits? [PDF]
Genomic selection is rapidly becoming the state-of-the-art genetic selection methodology in dairy cattle breeding schemes around the world. The objective of this paper was to explore possibilities to apply genomic selection for traits related to dairy ...

Rubbish DNA: The functionless fraction of the human genome [PDF]
Because genomes are products of natural processes rather than intelligent design, all genomes contain functional and nonfunctional parts. The fraction of the genome that has no biological function is called rubbish DNA. Rubbish DNA consists of junk DNA, i.e., the fraction of the genome on which selection does not operate, and garbage DNA, i.e ...

Near-Optimal Privacy-Utility Tradeoff in Genomic Studies Using Selective SNP Hiding [PDF]
Motivation: Researchers need a rich trove of genomic datasets that they can leverage to gain a better understanding of the genetic basis of the human genome and identify associations between phenotypes and specific parts of DNA. However, sharing genomic datasets that include sensitive genetic or medical information of individuals can lead to serious ...

Genomic selection on cacao for disease resistance : S04T08 [PDF]
Under favorable conditions, diseases can cause losses up to 100% in cacao. Breeding has been the most effective strategy in reducing these losses. However, breeding is limited by the: a) long generation time; b) large tree size (9 m2/tree); c) multiple ...

Genomic regions, cellular components and gene regulatory basis underlying pod length variations in cowpea (V. unguiculata L. Walp). [PDF]
Cowpea (V. unguiculata L. Walp) is a climate resilient legume crop important for food security. Cultivated cowpea (V. unguiculata L) generally comprises the bushy, short-podded grain cowpea dominant in Africa and the climbing, long-podded ...

Hybrid breeding of rice via genomic selection
Summary Hybrid breeding is the main strategy for improving productivity in many crops, especially in rice and maize. Genomic hybrid breeding is a technology that uses whole‐genome markers to predict future hybrids.

Are there laws of genome evolution? [PDF]
Research in quantitative evolutionary genomics and systems biology led to the discovery of several universal regularities connecting genomic and molecular phenomic variables. These universals include the log-normal distribution of the evolutionary rates of orthologous genes; the power law-like distributions of paralogous family size and node degree in ...

Urine is a rich source of biomarkers for cancer detection. Tumor‐derived material is released into the bloodstream and transported to the urine. Urine can easily be collected from individuals, allowing non‐invasive cancer detection. This review discusses the rationale behind urine‐based cancer detection and its potential for cancer diagnostics ...
