Genetics of human obesity [PDF]
Comptes Rendus. Biologies, 2005 The rapid development of new concepts and tools has led to a change in the way in which researchers carry out nutrition-related research. Obesity is determined by the interaction between predisposing genetic and environmental aspects, but at present the gene–gene and gene–environment interactions contributing to the development of this complex disease ...

Genetic similarity versus genetic ancestry groups as sample descriptors in human genetics [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 A common sample descriptor in human genomics studies is that of 'genetic ancestry group', with terms such as 'European genetic ancestry' or 'East Asian genetic ancestry' frequently used in publications to describe the genetics of groups of individuals based on the analysis of their genotypes.

Horizontes Antropológicos, 2012 As atividades oriundas de ações humanas, incluindo pesquisas científicas, são estruturadas sob contextos individuais e coletivos. A artigo de Kent e Santos considera isso num cenário específico, mas ao descreverem tal fato eles também dão margem a ações ...

Genetic evolution of a multi-generational population in the context of interstellar space travels -- Part I: Genetic evolution under the neutral selection hypothesis [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 We updated the agent based Monte Carlo code HERITAGE that simulates human evolution within restrictive environments such as interstellar, sub-light speed spacecraft in order to include the effects of population genetics. We incorporated a simplified -- yet representative -- model of the whole human genome with 46 chromosomes (23 pairs), containing 2110

Human genetic admixture through the lens of population genomics [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Over the last fifty years, geneticists have made great strides in understanding how our species' evolutionary history gave rise to current patterns of human genetic diversity classically summarized by Lewontin in his 1972 paper, 'The Apportionment of Human Diversity'.

Annual Review of Genomics and Human Genetics, 2005 ▪ Abstract Humans show substantial differences in taste sensitivity to many different substances. Some of this variation is known to be genetic in origin, and many other inter-individual differences are likely to be partially or wholly determined by genetic mechanisms. Recent advances in the understanding of taste at the molecular level have provided

Conflation of Short Identity-by-Descent Segments Bias Their Inferred Length Distribution
G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2016 Identity-by-descent (IBD) is a fundamental concept in genetics with many applications. In a common definition, two haplotypes are said to share an IBD segment if that segment is inherited from a recent shared common ancestor without intervening ...
