Genetics of the Rh-Hr Locus in Humans [PDF]
An analysis is attempted to throw more light on the inheritance of rhesus factor in humans and the Fisher-Race and Wiener's concepts are respectively evaluated.It is claimed that the Rh-Hr locus is not comprised of the recombination of C, D, E, c and e genes, much less the help of the auxiliary (d) which merely appears to be a conventional approach ...

A genetic locus for paranoia [PDF]
The psychological effects of brain-expressed imprinted genes in humans are virtually unknown. Prader–Willi syndrome (PWS) is a neurogenetic condition mediated by genomic imprinting, which involves high rates of psychosis characterized by hallucinations and paranoia, as well as autism.

Genetic Elements at the Alpha-Synuclein Locus
Genome-wide association studies have consistently shown that the alpha-synuclein locus is significantly associated with Parkinson’s disease. The mechanism by which this locus modulates the disease pathology and etiology remains largely under-investigated.

Genetic variability at the PARK16 locus [PDF]
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a complex neurodegenerative disease which is clinically heterogeneous and pathologically consists of loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra and intracytoplasmic neuronal inclusions containing alpha-synuclein aggregations known as Lewy bodies.

Genetic variation in the immunoglobulin heavy chain locus shapes the human antibody repertoire
Variation in the antibody response has been linked to differential outcomes in disease, and suboptimal vaccine and therapeutic responsiveness, the determinants of which have not been fully elucidated.

Prime editing uses the Cas9 nickase fused to a reverse transcriptase to copy a DNA sequence into a specific locus from a ‘prime editing’ guide RNA (pegRNA), eliminating the need for double-stranded DNA breaks and donor DNA templates.

Genetic Imprinting: Conflict at the Callipyge Locus [PDF]
The imprinted Dlk1-Gtl2 region of the mammalian genome - which in sheep encompasses the Callipyge locus, known for its unusual mode of inheritance - encodes a number of maternally expressed miRNAs. Five of these miRNAs, hosted by the antisense transcript antiPeg11, have now been shown to target degradation of the paternally expressed Peg11 mRNA by an ...

The Gene Encoding Dihydroflavonol 4-Reductase Is a Candidate for the anthocyaninless Locus of Rapid Cycling Brassica rapa (Fast Plants Type). [PDF]
Rapid cycling Brassica rapa, also known as Wisconsin Fast Plants, are a widely used organism in both K-12 and college science education. They are an excellent system for genetics laboratory instruction because it is very easy to conduct genetic crosses ...

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified many common variant loci associated with asthma susceptibility, but few studies investigate the genetics underlying moderate-to-severe asthma risk.
