‘Disease‐smart’ outcrossing can enhance individual fitness and increase survival via immune priming against pathogens: New approaches to strengthen genetic rescue efforts

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Our study provides a proof of concept for combining immune priming with assisted migration for insect conservation. Introducing genetically diverse, immune‐primed migrants improves both pathogen resistance and reproductive success in inbred individuals.

Doubting Thomas: Aquinas on Doubt and the Act of Faith

open access: yesInternational Journal of Systematic Theology, EarlyView.
Abstract Several modern theologians affirm that doubt is compatible with faith, even as authoritative voices from the Christian tradition deny this. While Thomas Aquinas is often seen as an exemplar of the traditional view, few scholars have devoted serious attention to the nature of doubt in Thomas’ thought.

Hyper- and hypo-responsiveness to dietary fat and cholesterol among inbred mice: searching for level and variability genes

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1995
A concept proposed by Berg (Berg, K. 1989. Arteriosclerosis. 9: I-50-I-58) is that a combination of level and variability genes determine an individual's overall plasma lipid levels and atherosclerotic risk.

On the Identifiability of Genetic Parameters for Growth in Mice With a Massively Deep Pedigree

open access: yesJournal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In models with direct and maternal genetic effects, structural features of the data are a potential source of bias and low accuracy of estimates for genetic covariance parameters. One of the well‐known reasons for such poor practical identifiability is the lack of dams with own observations.

TaSED interacts with TaSPA synergistically regulating SDS‐sedimentation volume in bread wheat

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Wheat TaSED is a positive regulator of SDS‐sedimentation volume, an indicator of gluten strength and thus baking properties. TaSED interacts with the transcription factor TaSPA regulating wheat storage protein gene expression, altering protein composition and affecting SDS‐sedimentation volume, providing a valuable genetic resource for improving wheat ...

The Mechanism of Expansion and the Volatility it created in Three Pheromone Gene Clusters in the Mouse (\u3ci\u3eMus musculus\u3c/i\u3e) Genome [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Three families of proteinaceous pheromones have been described in the house mouse: androgen-binding proteins (ABPs), exocrine gland–secreting peptides (ESPs), and major urinary proteins (MUPs), each of which is thought to communicate different ...

Embodying Tradition and Ascribing Meaning: Israeli Jewish Atheists Choosing to Circumcise Their Sons

open access: yesJournal for the Scientific Study of Religion, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article explores the meanings Israeli–Jewish atheists ascribe to their choice to circumcise their sons. Despite their lack of religious belief, many choose to engage in this practice, often seen as a typical representation of Jewish physical embodiment. Employing a lived religion approach, which emphasizes the multifaceted nature of human
