Genetic structure of the polymorphic metrosideros (Myrtaceae) complex in the Hwaiian islands using nuclear microsatellite data. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 BackgroundFive species of Metrosideros (Myrtaceae) are recognized in the Hawaiian Islands, including the widespread M. polymorpha, and are characterized by a multitude of distinctive, yet overlapping, habit, ecological, and morphological forms.

Organellar inheritance in the green lineage: insights from Ostreococcus tauri [PDF]
, 2013 Along the green lineage (Chlorophyta and Streptophyta), mitochondria and chloroplast are mainly uniparentally transmitted and their evolution is thus clonal. The mode of organellar inheritance in their ancestor is less certain.

A hierarchical statistical model for estimating population properties of quantitative genes
BMC Genetics, 2002 Background Earlier methods for detecting major genes responsible for a quantitative trait rely critically upon a well-structured pedigree in which the segregation pattern of genes exactly follow Mendelian inheritance laws.

Generalized Hybrid Evolutionary Algorithm Framework with a Mutation Operator Requiring no Adaptation [PDF]
, 2017 This paper presents a generalized hybrid evolutionary optimization structure that not only combines both nondeterministic and deterministic algorithms on their individual merits and distinct advantages, but also offers behaviors of the three originating ...

A statistical model for estimating maternal-zygotic interactions and parent-of-origin effects of QTLs for seed development. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2008 Proper development of a seed requires coordinated exchanges of signals among the three components that develop side by side in the seed. One of these is the maternal integument that encloses the other two zygotic components, i.e., the diploid embryo and ...

Inheritance-Based Diversity Measures for Explicit Convergence Control in Evolutionary Algorithms
, 2018 Diversity is an important factor in evolutionary algorithms to prevent premature convergence towards a single local optimum. In order to maintain diversity throughout the process of evolution, various means exist in literature.

Chloroplast microsatellites: measures of genetic diversity and the effect of homoplasy [PDF]
, 2005 Chloroplast microsatellites have been widely used in population genetic studies of conifers in recent years. However, their haplotype configurations suggest that they could have high levels of homoplasy, thus limiting the power of these molecular markers.

Computing Individual Risks based on Family History in Genetic Disease in the Presence of Competing Risks [PDF]
, 2017 When considering a genetic disease with variable age at onset (ex: diabetes , familial amyloid neuropathy, cancers, etc.), computing the individual risk of the disease based on family history (FH) is of critical interest both for clinicians and patients.
