Worse Health Status and Higher Incidence of Health Disorders in Rhesus Negative Subjects. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Rhesus-positive and Rhesus-negative persons differ in the presence-absence of highly immunogenic RhD protein on the erythrocyte membrane. The biological function of the RhD molecule is unknown.

A saturated genetic linkage map of autotetraploid alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) developed using genotyping-by-sequencing is highly syntenous with the Medicago truncatula genome. [PDF]
, 2014 A genetic linkage map is a valuable tool for quantitative trait locus mapping, map-based gene cloning, comparative mapping, and whole-genome assembly. Alfalfa, one of the most important forage crops in the world, is autotetraploid, allogamous, and highly

A role for kinesin heavy chain in controlling vesicle transport into dendrites in Drosophila. [PDF]
, 2011 The unique architecture of neurons requires the establishment and maintenance of polarity, which relies in part on microtubule-based transport to deliver essential cargo into dendrites.

Common HLA alleles associated with health, but not with facial attractiveness. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2007 Three adaptive hypotheses have been proposed to explain the link between the human leucocyte antigen (hla) genes, health measures and facial attractiveness: inbreeding avoidance, heterozygote advantage and frequency-dependent selection.

Diverse mating phenotypes impact the spread of wtf meiotic drivers in Schizosaccharomyces pombe
eLife, 2021 Meiotic drivers are genetic elements that break Mendel’s law of segregation to be transmitted into more than half of the offspring produced by a heterozygote.
