Inbreeding and runs of homozygosity before and after genomic selection in North American Holstein cattle

open access: yesBMC Genomics, 2018
While autozygosity as a consequence of selection is well understood, there is limited information on the ability of different methods to measure true inbreeding.

The spread of non‐native species

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The global redistribution of species through human agency is one of the defining ecological signatures of the Anthropocene, with biological invasions reshaping biodiversity patterns, ecosystem processes and services, and species interactions globally.

Giraffe translocation population viability analysis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Most populations of giraffes have declined in recent decades, leading to the recent IUCN decision to upgrade the species to Vulnerable status, and some subspecies to Endangered.

A roadmap to key traits of invasive Drosophilidae

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biological invasions have intensified in recent decades, mostly driven by international trade and travel, raising significant concerns, particularly regarding insect pests. Once non‐native species establish, they can disrupt natural ecosystem stability, undermine agroecosystem sustainability and cause substantial economic losses.

Evolutionary patterns and structural divergence of CENH3 in legumes: Implications for haploid induction breeding

open access: yesGrassland Research, EarlyView.
From structure to application: evolutionary insights and genome editing strategies for CENH3‐mediated haploid induction in legumes. Abstract Background The centromeric histone variant CENH3 is crucial for chromosome segregation and haploid induction in plants, yet its evolutionary patterns in legumes remain poorly characterized. Methods We investigated

Life Stage‐Specific Genetic Diversity and Landscape Characteristics Collectively Influence Genetic Recovery in Pometia pinnata Population 生活史阶段特异的遗传多样性与景观特征对番龙眼种群遗传恢复的协同影响

open access: yesIntegrative Conservation, EarlyView.
Pometia pinnata demonstrated life‐stage‐specific genetic responses to landscape features, with asymmetric gene flow patterns and population recovery following historical bottlenecks, revealing complex topographic and demographic influences on forest genetic structure.

Exploring inbreeding depression in Brazilian Angus cattle population using pedigree and genomic data

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics
IntroductionInbreeding depression refers to the decline in performance caused by increased levels of inbreeding, which results from mating individuals with common ancestors.

Assessment of runs of homozygosity islands and estimates of genomic inbreeding in Gyr (Bos indicus) dairy cattle

open access: yesBMC Genomics, 2018
Runs of homozygosity (ROH) are continuous homozygous segments of the DNA sequence. They have been applied to quantify individual autozygosity and used as a potential inbreeding measure in livestock species.

Genome‐Wide Assessment Reveals Ancestral Differences in Homozygosity Patterns Potentially Linked to Parkinson's Disease Etiology

open access: yesMovement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Recessive genetic variation and extended runs of homozygosity (ROHs) may contribute to the unexplained heritability of Parkinson's disease (PD), particularly in diverse and understudied populations. Objective We conducted the first large‐scale, multi‐ancestral investigation of PD to examine the impact of genome‐wide homozygosity on ...
