Interleukin-4 gene intron 3 VNTR polymorphism in adult acute myeloid leukemia

Egyptian Journal of Medical Human Genetics, 2022
Background The proliferation of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) blast into the bone marrow microenvironment is controlled by cytokines. Interleukin-4 (IL-4) has recently been discovered to suppress the development and persistence of AML cells selectively ...

Polygenic inheritance and micro/minisatellites [PDF]

Molecular Psychiatry, 1998
While it has often been stated that the identification of the genes involved in complex polygenic traits may be extremely difficult, the principles learned in the past century about single gene-single disease inheritance may not be relevant to polygenic inheritance. A new paradigm specific to complex disorders may be needed.

Haplotype‐resolved autotetraploid genome of Dioscorea nipponica provides insights into recent polyploidization, metabolic rewiring, and environmental adaptation

The Plant Journal, Volume 127, Issue 6, September 2026.
SUMMARY Whole‐genome duplication (WGD, or polyploidization) is a major evolutionary force in plants, yet the genomic, transcriptional, and metabolic consequences of autopolyploidy remain less understood than those of allopolyploidy. Dioscorea nipponica, a medicinal species producing diosgenin‐type steroidal saponins, harbors both diploid and ...

Minisatellite mutation rates increase with extra-pair paternity among birds

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2009
Background Amos 1 suggested recently that a previously reported positive relationship between minisatellite mutation rates and extra-pair paternity among species of birds 2 was confounded by transcription errors and selective inclusion of studies.

Multi-locus genotypes of Enterocytozoon bieneusi in captive Asiatic black bears in southwestern China: High genetic diversity, broad host range, and zoonotic potential. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
Enterocytozoon bieneusi is an obligate eukaryotic intracellular parasite that infects a wide variety of vertebrate and invertebrate hosts. Although considerable research has been conducted on this organism, relatively little information is available on ...

Migrating and Nonmigrating Neutral Mass Density Tides From GRACE‐FO Observations for Solar Minimum Conditions

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract This study presents the migrating and nonmigrating thermospheric neutral mass density tides from the Gravity Recovery And Climate Experiment Follow‐On (GRACE‐FO) observations under solar minimum conditions (year 2020). The observed densities are first mapped to a reference altitude of 500 km using an empirical model (NRLMSIS 2.0) to remove the

Orbital Decay of the Three SNIPE CubeSats During the Super Geomagnetic Storm in May 2024

Space Weather, Volume 24, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The Mother's Day (Gannon) geomagnetic superstorm of May 2024 produced extreme thermospheric heating and expansion, resulting in enhanced atmospheric drag on low Earth orbiting (LEO) satellites. We investigate storm‐time thermospheric drag and density variability using three satellites of the Small‐scale magNetospheric and Ionospheric Plasma ...

Identification and Characterization of Genes Associated With Wood Property Traits via Genome Sequencing in Fast‐Growing Species of Genus Neolamarckia

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The Neolamarckia (Rubiaceae) genus is composed of only two species: N. cadamba and N. macrophylla. Both species are fast‐growing plants with significant industrial and medicinal values. Here, we provided a high‐quality chromosome‐level assembly of the N. macrophylla genome for the first time.

Genetic association study of selected candidate genes (ApoB, LPL, Leptin) and telomere length in obese and hypertensive individuals

BMC Medical Genetics, 2009
Background A genetic study was carried out among obese and hypertensive individuals from India to assess allelic association, if any, at three candidate loci: Apolipoprotein B (ApoB) minisatellite and two tetranucleotide repeat loci; LPL (Lipoprotein ...

Rare exonic minisatellite alleles in MUC2 influence susceptibility to gastric carcinoma. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2007
BACKGROUND: Mucins are the major components of mucus and their genes share a common, centrally-located region of sequence that encodes tandem repeats. Mucins are well known genes with respect to their specific expression levels; however, their genomic ...
