Genetic Imprinting: Conflict at the Callipyge Locus [PDF]

Current Biology, 2005
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]

PLoS ONE, 2016
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 ...

A whole genome sequencing study of moderate to severe asthma identifies a lung function locus associated with asthma risk

Scientific Reports, 2022
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.

Development and characterization of 16 novel microsatellite markers by Transcriptome sequencing for Angelica dahurica and test for cross-species amplification

BMC Plant Biology, 2020
Background Angelica dahurica (Apiaceae) is an important herb in traditional Chinese medicine. Because of its important medicinal and economic values, its wild resources were over-exploited and increasingly reduced.

An X-STRs analysis of the Iraqi Sorani Kurds.

PLoS ONE, 2023
A database for the Iraqi Sorani Kurds, specifically focused on the 12 X-short tandem repeat (STR) loci, has been developed to fascilitate forensic and population genetics investigations.

Deletion of the Alzheimer’s disease risk gene Abi3 locus results in obesity and systemic metabolic disruption in mice

Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2022
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) genetics studies have identified a coding variant within ABI3 gene that increases the risk of developing AD. Recently, we demonstrated that deletion of the Abi3 gene locus dramatically exacerbates AD neuropathology in a ...

Detailed Functional Characterization of a Waist-Hip Ratio Locus in 7p15.2 Defines an Enhancer Controlling Adipocyte Differentiation

iScience, 2019
Summary: We combined CAGE sequencing in human adipocytes during differentiation with data from genome-wide association studies to identify an enhancer in the SNX10 locus on chromosome 7, presumably involved in body fat distribution. Using reporter assays

The SSR Null Allele Problem, and Its Consequences in Pedigree Reconstruction and Population Genetic Studies in Viticulture

Horticulturae, 2022
Null alleles are alleles that are recessive to codominant markers without any effect on the phenotype. In SSR assays, there are several reasons for the lack of amplification at a locus: the primer does not bind well, longer fragments do not amplify due ...

Genetic diversity at the HUMTHO1 locus

Annals of Human Biology, 1998
A World-wide population genetic study on the highly polymorphic DNA locus HUMTHO1, was performed using data collected from 48 studies. Also this study reports new allele frequency data of a Punjabi population (n = 125) from North India. This population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium with 77.6% heterozygosity and power of exclusion at 0.538.

Reinforcement of genetic coherence in a two-locus model [PDF]

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2001
In order to maintain populations as units of reproduction and thus enable anagenetic evolution, genetic factors must exist which prevent continuing reproductive separation or enhance reproductive contact. This evolutionary principle is called genetic coherence and it marks the often ignored counterpart of cladistic evolution.
