Dual Blockade of LILRB1 and LILRB2 Enhances Antiviral Immune Responses in SIV Infection

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Dual LILRB1/B2 blockade with mac20G10 reshapes myeloid activation during acute SIV infection by targeting LILRB1 and LILRB2 on myeloid cells. This treatment enhances CD80 expression on selected myeloid subsets and increases plasma IFN‐λ, IL‐8, and IL‐1RA.

Genetic variation at the FADS1-FADS2 gene locus influences delta-5 desaturase activity and LC-PUFA proportions after fish oil supplement[S]

Journal of Lipid Research, 2013
Delta-5 and delta-6 desaturases (D5D and D6D) are key enzymes in endogenous synthesis of long-chain PUFAs. In this sample of healthy subjects (n = 310), genotypes of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) rs174537, rs174561, and rs3834458 in the FADS1 ...

Steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss) lineages and sexes show variable patterns of association of adult migration timing and age‐at‐maturity traits with two genomic regions

Evolutionary Applications, 2020
As life history diversity plays a critical role in supporting the resilience of exploited populations, understanding the genetic basis of those life history variations is important for conservation management.

A Bayesian Hierarchical Model for Detecting Haplotype-Haplotype and Haplotype-Environment Interactions in Genetic Association Studies [PDF]

Human Heredity, 2011
<i>Objective: </i>Genetic association studies based on haplotypes are powerful in the discovery and characterization of the genetic basis of complex human diseases. However, statistical methods for detecting haplotype-haplotype and haplotype-environment interactions have not yet been fully developed owing to the difficulties encountered ...

An Artificially Selected Cytokinin‐Pathway Transcription Factor Balances Soybean Yield and Pathogen Resistance

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A cytokinin pathway transcription factor, RR2b, was artificially selected during soybean domestication and improvement based on its differential transcriptional activity, which correlates with ATT repeat polymorphisms in its promoter. RR2b balances yield and defense by fine‐tuning its expression level and offers a promising target for decoupling trade ...

Long-range, high-throughput haplotype determination via haplotype-fusion PCR and ligation haplotyping [PDF]

Nucleic Acids Research, 2008
Ligation Haplotyping is a robust, novel method for experimental determination of haplotypes over long distances, which can be applied to assaying both sequence and structural variation. The simplicity and efficacy of the method for genotyping large chromosomal rearrangements and haplotyping SNPs over long distances make it a valuable and powerful ...

Transposable Element–Driven PIEZO Mutation Enhances Locust Flight in Plateau Hypoxia

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Why transposable elements (TEs) persisted or expanded in genomes remains a mystery. Using integrated analysis of TE macro‐ and microevolution in locusts, our results showed that thousands of TE insertions promoted widespread adaptive variation. Subfamilies of candidate adaptive TEs amplified and reshaped species‐level genomic architecture.
