Efficiency of population structures for mapping of Mendelian and imprinted quantitative trait loci in outbred pigs using variance component methods

Genetics Selection Evolution, 2005
In a simulation study different designs for a pure line pig population were compared for efficiency of mapping QTL using the variance component method. Phenotypes affected by a Mendelian QTL, a paternally expressed QTL, a maternally expressed QTL or by a

A Review of Prader–Willi Syndrome

Endocrines, 2022
Prader–Willi Syndrome (PWS, OMIM #176270) is a rare complex genetic disorder due to the loss of expression of paternally derived genes in the PWS critical region on chromosome 15q11-q13.

EFFECTS OF HUMAN IMPRINTING AND TAMING ON TRACTABILITY OF WILD TURKEYS USED FOR RESEARCH

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 1995
: Imprinting wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo) to humans facilitates their use as research subjects but can require a large time investment for the imprinting process.

Parent-of-origin detection and chromosome-scale haplotyping using long-read DNA methylation sequencing and Strand-seq

Cell Genomics, 2023
Summary: Hundreds of loci in human genomes have alleles that are methylated differentially according to their parent of origin. These imprinted loci generally show little variation across tissues, individuals, and populations.

The power of innate: Behavioural attachment and neural activity in responses to natural and artificial objects in filial imprinting in chicks

Frontiers in Physiology, 2022
Newly hatched domestic chicks are known to orient preferentially toward naturalistic stimuli, resembling a conspecific. Here, we examined to what extent this behavioral preference can be transcended by an artificial imprinting stimulus in both short-term

Imprinting

WIREs Cognitive Science, 2013
AbstractImprinting is a type of learning by which an animal restricts its social preferences to an object after exposure to that object. Filial imprinting occurs shortly after birth or hatching and sexual imprinting, around the onset of sexual maturity; both have sensitive periods. This review is concerned mainly with filial imprinting.

Genotype-Phenotype Relationships and Endocrine Findings in Prader-Willi Syndrome

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2019
Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is a complex imprinting disorder related to genomic errors that inactivate paternally-inherited genes on chromosome 15q11-q13 with severe implications on endocrine, cognitive and neurologic systems, metabolism, and behavior ...

Single‐cell DNA methylation profiling: Technologies, computation, and applications in precision oncology

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Single‐cell DNA methylation (scDNAme) profiling maps epimutational clonal evolution, revealing mechanisms of malignancy and therapeutic resistance across diverse cancer types. By providing a high‐resolution landscape of intratumoral heterogeneity, these technologies empower precise patient stratification, guide the development of enhanced ...
