Nutritional and industrial quality assessment of Spanish durum wheat commercial cultivars

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Durum wheat is the raw material used to produce pasta, and its price is determined by grain physical characteristics, gluten strength and semolina yellowness. Gluten strength is mainly determined by high‐ and low‐molecular‐weight glutenin subunits (HMW‐GS and LMW‐GS). Semolina yellowness is determined by loci that control carotenoid

Convergence of Y chromosome STR haplotypes from different SNP haplogroups compromises accuracy of haplogroup prediction [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2013
Short tandem repeats (STRs) and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are two kinds of commonly used markers in Y chromosome studies of forensic and population genetics. There has been increasing interest in the cost saving strategy by using the STR haplotypes to predict SNP haplogroups.

Increasing acidification does not affect sexual reproduction of a solitary zooxanthellate coral transplanted at a carbon dioxide vent

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, EarlyView.
Abstract The absorption of atmospheric carbon dioxide is causing significant changes to the carbonate chemistry of the ocean, in a phenomenon called ocean acidification. The latter makes it potentially more difficult for marine calcifiers like corals, to build their calcium carbonate structures, thus affecting their ability to survive and reproduce ...

Association of Interleukin-10 Gene Haplotype with Gastric Cancer in a Chinese Population

open access: yesCancer Biology & Medicine, 2010
OBJECTIVE Interleukin-10 (IL-10) is a multifunctional cytokine with both immunosuppressive and antiangiogenic functions. Previous studies have reported that IL-10 levels are signifi cantly elevated in patients with gastric cancer (GC).

Haplotype Assembly: An Information Theoretic View [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2014
This paper studies the haplotype assembly problem from an information theoretic perspective. A haplotype is a sequence of nucleotide bases on a chromosome, often conveniently represented by a binary string, that differ from the bases in the corresponding positions on the other chromosome in a homologous pair.

Impact of glacial cycles and ocean currents on radiation events in the Japanese turban snail Lunella coreensis

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography Letters, EarlyView.
Abstract The Japanese turban snail Lunella coreensis is sensitive to ocean currents due to its short pelagic larval stage and moderate dispersal ability, making it an ideal model for studying genetic diversity shaped by paleoclimatic shifts. In this study, we analyzed the mitochondrial genes COI and 12S of museum samples collected from various coasts ...

Category theory for genetics II: genotype, phenotype and haplotype [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2018
The overarching goal of this paper is to solve the word problem for a class of idempotent commutative monoids whose elements model population haplotypes. More specifically, we design an algebraic framework in which it is possible to unravel population stratification relationships and infer linkage disequilibrium in terms of algebraic equations of ...

Prevalence and Clinical Characteristics of the LRRK2 p.L1795F Variant in Central Europeans with Early‐Onset and Familial Parkinson's Disease

open access: yesMovement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Leucine‐rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) p.L1795F variant was proposed as a genetic risk factor for Parkinson's disease (PD). However, its prevalence, phenotype, and origin remain unknown. Objective The aim was to evaluate the frequency and phenotype of p.L1795F in early‐onset PD (EOPD) and familial PD compared to healthy controls (HC ...

The dystrophinopathies in Costa Rica

open access: yesRevista de Biología Tropical, 2004
A five-years long study aiming to describe the basic genetic epidemiology of the dystrophinopathies in Costa Rica recruited 31 patients with clinical symptoms of DMD/BMD at the National Children’s Hospital (HNN).
