Rhh: an R extension for estimating multilocus heterozygosity and heterozygosity–heterozygosity correlation

Molecular Ecology Resources, 2010
AbstractIndividual multilocus heterozygosity estimates based on a limited number of loci are expected to correlate only weakly with the inbreeding level of an individual. Before using multilocus heterozygosity estimates in studies of inbreeding, their ability to capture information on inbreeding in the given setting should be tested.

Heterozygosity–behavior and heterozygosity–fitness correlations in a salamander with limited dispersal

Population Ecology, 2018
AbstractInbreeding and genetic drift can decrease genetic heterozygosity, and this low heterozygosity can depress fitness, resulting in heterozygosity–fitness correlations (HFCs). HFCs are typically small in magnitude, a result often attributed to power of the analyses. Animal behaviors often affect fitness and are often heritable to some degree.

The variance of sample heterozygosity

Theoretical Population Biology, 1990
The variance of sample heterozygosity, averaged over several loci, is studied in a variety of situations. The variance depends on the sampling implicit in the mating system as well as on that explicit in the loci scored and individuals sampled. There are also effects of allelic distributions over loci and of linkage or linkage disequilibrium between ...

Loss of heterozygosity by SCRaMbLEing

Science China Life Sciences, 2019
Genetic variation drives phenotypic evolution within populations. Genetic variation can be divided into different forms according to the size of genomic changes. However, study of large-scale genomic variation such as structural variation and aneuploidy is still limited and mainly based on the static, predetermined feature of individual genomes.

TRANSLOCATION HETEROZYGOSITY, GENETIC HETEROZYGOSITY, AND INBREEDING INCLARKIA SPECIOSA

Evolution, 1977
Numerous species have been found to have reciprocal translocations as a typical component of their genetic systems (Burnham, 1956). Theoretically, individuals which are heterozygous for reciprocal translocations could have greatly reduced genetic recombination compared to structural homozygotes, and it is commonly agreed this could have important ...

Loss of Heterozygosity

2009
The most common molecular alteration observed in human cancers,1 loss of heterozygosity (LOH), is a significant mecha-nism by which critical genes involved in growth regulation and homeostasis become inactivated, or silenced, during disease evolution. This chapter provides a review of LOH and its implications in various cancers as well as a review of ...

Controlled heterozygosity in livestock

Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B - Biological Sciences, 1955
Abstract The word heterozygosity appears in the title of this paper in preference to heterosis for three reasons. First, heterosis has different usages and might be misleading. A simple illustration is provided by the colours of Shorthorn cattle which are determined by a pair of alleles.
