Origins, Dispersal, and Impact: Bidirectional Introgression Between Chinese and European Pig Populations

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study investigates bidirectional introgression between Chinese and European pig populations, revealing 3558 introgressed genomic segments and 30 structural variations. Analysis of the BMP2 region suggests its role in body size enhancement. By integrating ancient and modern genomes, the study highlights the impact of introgression on genetic ...

A Genealogical Interpretation of Linkage Disequilibrium [PDF]

Genetics, 2002
Abstract The degree of association between alleles at different loci, or linkage disequilibrium, is widely used to infer details of evolutionary processes. Here I explore how associations between alleles relate to properties of the underlying genealogy of sequences.

Genetic Regulation of Alternative Polyadenylation Provides Novel Insights into Molecular Mechanisms Underlying Non‐small Cell Lung Cancer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Compared with the non‐risk G allele of rs9606, the risk T allele of rs9606 decreases the binding affinity of NUDT21 for LYRM4, triggering 3'UTR shortening that stabilizes LYRM4 mRNA and elevates its expression. Increased LYRM4 expression promoted malignant phenotypes of non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells through modulating ferroptosis, supporting

Genomic Variation Underpins Genetic Divergence and Differing Salt Resilience in Sesbania bispinosa

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Sesbania, a leguminous halophyte, thrives in saline soils. Comparative genomics reveals key genomic variations—particularly chromosomal inversions—are identified as contributors to population differentiation and salt resilience. These findings advance the understanding of genomic variation driving evolution and phenotypic differentiation and offer ...

Predicting the range of linkage disequilibrium [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2000
A generally accepted strategy in the mapping of a disease gene is to initially apply linkage analysis for an approximate estimate of the location of the trait gene and to subsequently make use of linkage disequilibrium (association) for a more accurate localization.

A Transcriptome‐Wide Mendelian Randomization Study in Isolated Human Immune Cells Highlights Risk Genes Involved in Viral Infections and Potential Drug Repurposing Opportunities for Schizophrenia

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part B: Neuropsychiatric Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Schizophrenia is a neurodevelopmental psychiatric disorder characterized by symptoms of psychosis, thought disorder, and flattened affect. Immune mechanisms are associated with schizophrenia, though the precise nature of this relationship (causal, correlated, consequential) and the mechanisms involved are not fully understood.

Exploring linkage disequilibrium [PDF]

Molecular Ecology Resources, 2015
Linkage disequilibrium (LD, association of allelic states across loci) is poorly understood by many evolutionary biologists, but as technology for multilocus sampling improves, we ignoreLDat our peril. If we sample variation at 10 loci in an organism with 20 chromosomes, we can reasonably treat them as 10 ‘independent witnesses’ of the evolutionary ...

Structure of Linkage Disequilibrium in Plants [PDF]

Annual Review of Plant Biology, 2003
Future advances in plant genomics will make it possible to scan a genome for polymorphisms associated with qualitative and quantitative traits. Before this potential can be realized, we must understand the nature of linkage disequilibrium (LD) within a genome.
