A Detailed View of KIR Haplotype Structures and Gene Families as Provided by a New Motif-Based Multiple Sequence Alignment

Frontiers in Immunology, 2020
Human chromosome 19q13.4 contains genes encoding killer-cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR). Reported haplotype lengths range from 67 to 269 kb and contain 4 to 18 genes.

Superior haplotypes for haplotype‐based breeding for drought tolerance in pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan L.)

Plant Biotechnology Journal, 2020
Summary Haplotype‐based breeding, a recent promising breeding approach to develop tailor‐made crop varieties, deals with identification of superior haplotypes and their deployment in breeding programmes.

Reference‐Guided Chromosome‐by‐Chromosome de novo Assembly at Scale Using Low‐Coverage High‐Fidelity Long‐Reads with HiFiCCL

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
HiFiCCL, as the first assembly framework specifically designed for low‐coverage high‐fidelity reads, improves the assembly quality of existing assemblers and also enhances downstream applications such as large structural variant (SV) detection (>10 000 bp), synteny analysis, pangenome graph construction, and graph‐based individual‐specific germline SVs

Molecular identification of zoonotic taeniids metacestodes in several rodent species trapped in Central Europe

Frontiers in Veterinary Science
BackgroundLarval stages of carnivore cestodes in rodents have been extensively studied for decades, primarily based on morphological indicators. Numerous datasets, particularly from Central Europe, exist on this topic.

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 ...

Haplotype-aware graph indexes [PDF]

bioRxiv, 2018
Motivation The variation graph toolkit (VG) represents genetic variation as a graph. Although each path in the graph is a potential haplotype, most paths are nonbiological, unlikely recombinations of true haplotypes.

Genome‐Wide Association Analyses Reveal the Genetic Basis of EMS Mutagenesis Efficiency in Rice

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Based on large‐scale screening of 420 rice accessions, GWAS identified the Rc locus as a key regulator of EMS mutagenesis efficiency. Functional Rc alleles enhance both seed survival and genome‐wide mutation frequency by boosting antioxidant enzyme activities (CAT, SOD, POD) and reducing oxidative damage.

Inheritance of bovine lymphocyte intestinal retention defect disorder affects Holstein production performance and longevity

Journal of Dairy Science
: Improved methods previously developed for tracking new mutations within existing haplotypes for cholesterol deficiency (HCD) and muscle weakness (HMW) now also were applied to track the bovine lymphocyte intestinal retention defect (BLIRD) discovered ...
