Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 The centromere is a unique part of the chromosome combining a conserved function with an extreme variability in its DNA sequence. Most of our knowledge about the functional centromere organization is obtained from species with small and medium genome ...

Genomic selection in rubber tree breeding: A comparison of models and methods for managing G×E interactions [PDF]
, 2019 Several genomic prediction models combining genotype × environment (G×E) interactions have recently been developed and used for genomic selection (GS) in plant breeding programs. G×E interactions reduce selection accuracy and limit genetic gains in plant

Multilevel selection on mitochondrial genomes
Current Opinion in Genetics & Development, 2023 Mitochondria are vital organelles for life in eukaryotes, taking centre stage in the process of cellular respiration. This process is regulated via a series of finely coordinated obligate interactions of molecules encoded by two genomes: nuclear DNA and mitochondrial DNA.

Pre-selection of markers for genomic selection [PDF]
BMC Proceedings, 2011 Abstract Background Accurate prediction of genomic breeding values (GEBVs) requires numerous markers. However, predictive accuracy can be enhanced by excluding markers with no effects or with inconsistent effects among crosses that can adversely affect the prediction of GEBVs. Methods

The Adaptive Significance of Natural Genetic Variation in the DNA Damage Response of Drosophila melanogaster. [PDF]
, 2016 Despite decades of work, our understanding of the distribution of fitness effects of segregating genetic variants in natural populations remains largely incomplete. One form of selection that can maintain genetic variation is spatially varying selection,

Detection of selection signatures in dairy and beef cattle using high-density genomic information [PDF]
, 2015 peer-reviewedBackground Artificial selection for economically important traits in cattle is expected to have left distinctive selection signatures on the genome. Access to high-density genotypes facilitates the accurate identification of

The effect of genomic information on optimal contribution selection in livestock breeding programs [PDF]
, 2013 BACKGROUND: Long-term benefits in animal breeding programs require that increases in genetic merit be balanced with the need to maintain diversity (lost due to inbreeding). This can be achieved by using optimal contribution selection. The availability of

Cell, 2007 The incredible leaps in technology that now make high-speed genome sequencing possible are revolutionizing the hunt for genes and genetic variations associated with disease. A stunning series of recent genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified new candidate genes for a number of common diseases including breast cancer, heart disease ...
