Progeny testing of heterozygote carriers of the Robertsonian translocation 1/29 in Bovidae.
In our recent population study, 220 daughters of a heterozygote carrier of the Robertsonian translocation 1/29 were analysed by screening of metaphase spreads and typing of microsatellite markers.

Captive Breeding of the Chinese Alligator Reduces Inbreeding but Increases Genetic Load
Captive breeding of the Chinese alligator successfully reduced genomic inbreeding but increased the burden of deleterious mutations. Genomic analyses indicate that managing both genetic diversity and genetic load is essential for the long‐term conservation of this critically endangered species.

Estimating the effective number of breeders from heterozygote excess in progeny
International audienceThe heterozygote-excess method is a recently published method for estimating the effective population size (N-e). It is based on the following principle: When the effective number of breeders (N-eb) in a population is small, the ...

Genomic Diversity of the Endangered Guinan Toad‐Headed Lizard and Its Conservation Implications
We produced HiFi long reads and assembled a high‐quality genome for the Guinan toad‐headed lizard—Phrynocephalus guinanensis—and present a comprehensive conservation genomics assessment. Our findings clearly show population structure, a reduced genetic diversity pattern, and a strong bottleneck in demographic history, reaffirming the endangered status ...

Captive populations of threatened species risk losing genetic diversity over time. We evaluated the genetic status of contemporary captive western lowland gorillas (Gorilla gorilla gorilla) at Howletts and Port Lympne and compared this with specimens from a historical wild population.

Genomic Assessment of Reintroduced African Wild Dogs Informs Conservation Translocations
Few reintroduction and translocation programs incorporate genomic assessments into management planning, despite ongoing debate over how founder individuals should be selected. Here, we assess the genomic composition of reintroduced African wild dog (Lycaon pictus) populations in private reserves in South Africa, comparing them with a free‐roaming ...

ABSTRACT Background Genetic variability within the follicle‐stimulating hormone (FSH)‐related genes might contribute to phenotypic heterogeneity in patients with Klinefelter syndrome (KS), yet its clinical impact on sperm retrieval remains unclear. Objectives To investigate the association between FSHB c.211 G > T and FSHR polymorphisms (c.2039 A > G ...

CSTB deficient EPM1 iPS cells manifest increased lysosomal activity and oxidative stress, which lead to DNA damage, cell cycle defects and increased apoptosis. As a protective response, metabolism is suppressed. Image created by BioRender https://BioRender.com/t44oc6h.

In cystic fibrosis disorder, CFTR dysfunction drives multilayered intestinal niche disruption, including dysbiosis, inflammation, hypoxia, metabolic stress and genotoxic injury, promoting cell‐state plasticity and a pre‐neoplastic ecosystem. CFTR modulators and environmental factors may partially reshape these processes, highlighting opportunities for ...
