Background Many epidemiological studies have suggested that insulin-like growth factor1 (IGF1) gene single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) may be associated with cancer risk.

A framework for gene mapping in wheat demonstrated using the Yr7 yellow rust resistance gene [PDF]
We used three approaches to map the yellow rust resistance gene Yr7 and identify associated SNPs in wheat. First, we used a traditional QTL mapping approach using a double haploid (DH) population and mapped Yr7 to a low-recombination region of chromosome

Homozygote Depression in Gamete-Derived Dragon-Fruit (Hylocereus) Lines
Putative gamete-derived progenies from two Hylocereus species, the diploid H. monacanthus and the tetraploid H. megalanthus, were studied with the dual aims to confirm their gamete origin and to evaluate their potential use as genetic resources.

Resistance to autosomal dominant Alzheimer's disease in an APOE3 Christchurch homozygote: a case report. [PDF]
We identified a PSEN1 (presenilin 1) mutation carrier from the world's largest autosomal dominant Alzheimer's disease kindred, who did not develop mild cognitive impairment until her seventies, three decades after the expected age of clinical onset.

The Effects of Different Sex-Linked Dwarf Variations on Chinese Native Chickens
Variants in chicken growth hormone receptor (GHR) gene lead to sex-linked dwarf (SLD) chickens, but effects of different variants are distinct. In this study, 11 SLD chicken breeds or strains including 3 Chinese native breeds and 8 breeding strains were ...

Under-dominance constrains the evolution of negative autoregulation in diploids [PDF]
Regulatory networks have evolved to allow gene expression to rapidly track changes in the environment as well as to buffer perturbations and maintain cellular homeostasis in the absence of change.
