Growth and Variation in Fallow Deer (Dama dama L.) From Two Contrasting Habitats in Southern Britain

open access: yesActa Zoologica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We have compiled a unique data set on the age, sex, body weight and dimensions of over 500 European fallow deer from two contrasting areas of habitat in southern England: a high‐density managed parkland population and a lower‐density feral woodland one.

Parentage Verification and Segregation Distortion Patterns of Microsatellite Markers in Olive Flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) Full-Sib Families

open access: yesAnimals
Microsatellite markers are widely used in aquaculture for genetic analysis and breeding programs, but challenges such as segregation distortion and allelic instability can impact their effectiveness in parentage verification and inheritance studies. This

A century of theories of balancing selection

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Traits that affect organismal fitness are often highly genetically variable. This genetic variation is vital for populations to adapt to their environments, but it is also surprising given that nature – after all – ‘selects’ the best genotypes at the expense of those that fall short.

A Novel Homozygous Nonsense Pathogenic Variant of the CPAMD8 Gene Associated With Congenital Microcoria

open access: yesClinical Genetics, EarlyView.
A novel CPAMD8 nonsense mutation c.2679C>G (p.Tyr893*) was identified in a patient with congenital microcoria, leading to reduced mRNA expression and predicted protein truncation. ABSTRACT Congenital microcoria (MCOR) is a rare inherited ocular disorder. Here, we describe a novel nonsense variant in the CPAMD8 gene in a patient with MCOR.

Genetic markers as instrumental variables: an application to child fat mass and academic achievement [PDF]

open access: yes
The use of genetic markers as instrumental variables (IV) is receiving increasing attention from economists. This paper examines the conditions that need to be met for genetic variants to be used as instruments.
