A Genetic Model of the Connectome [PDF]

Neuron, 2020
The connectomes of organisms of the same species show remarkable architectural and often local wiring similarity, raising the question: where and how is neuronal connectivity encoded? Here, we start from the hypothesis that the genetic identity of neurons guides synapse and gap-junction formation and show that such genetically driven wiring predicts ...

Genetic risks and genetic model specification [PDF]

Journal of Theoretical Biology, 2016
Genetic risks and genetic models are often used in design and analysis of genetic epidemiology studies. A genetic model is defined in terms of two genetic risk measures: genotype relative risk and odds ratio. The impacts of choosing a risk measure on the resulting genetic models are studied in the power to detect association and deviation from Hardy ...

Genetics in non-genetic model systems [PDF]

Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 2012
The past few decades have seen the field of genetic engineering evolve at a rapid pace, with neuroscientists now equipped with a wide range of tools for the manipulation of an animal's genome in order to study brain function. However, the number of species to which these technologies have been applied, namely the fruit fly, C.

A MODEL FOR THE GENETICS OF HANDEDNESS [PDF]

Genetics, 1972
ABSTRACT Experimental data and theoretical work on the inheritance of handedness and cerebral dominance are reviewed. A two-gene, four-allele model, one locus pertaining to left or right hemispheric dominance and the other to contralateral or ipsilateral hand control relative to the dominant hemisphere, is constructed. It is in excellent

Genetic Models of Migraine [PDF]

Archives of Neurology, 2007
Migraine is a common, disabling, complex brain disorder, presenting in attacks that may have up to 3 phases: a prodromal phase, the aura phase, and the headache phase. The pathogenesis of the aura and headache phases is reasonably well understood, but the mechanism by which migraine attacks are triggered is unknown.

Genetic models of fibrillinopathies

GENETICS, 2023
Abstract The fibrillinopathies represent a group of diseases in which the 10–12 nm extracellular microfibrils are disrupted by genetic variants in one of the genes encoding fibrillin molecules, large glycoproteins of the extracellular matrix. The best-known fibrillinopathy is Marfan syndrome, an autosomal dominant condition affecting the

A COMPARISON OF GENETIC NETWORK MODELS [PDF]

Biocomputing 2001, 2000
With the completion of the sequencing of the human genome, the need for tools capable of unraveling the interaction and functionality of genes becomes extremely urgent. In answer to this quest, the advent of microarray technology provides the opportunity to perform large scale gene expression analyses.

Genetic Models [PDF]

, 2019
Genetically altered rat and mouse models have been instrumental in the functional analysis of genes in a physiological context. In particular, studies on the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) have profited from this technology in the past. In this review, we summarize the existing animal models for the protective axis of the RAS consisting of angiotensin ...

Joint Modeling of Imaging and Genetics [PDF]

, 2013
We propose a unified Bayesian framework for detecting genetic variants associated with a disease while exploiting image-based features as an intermediate phenotype. Traditionally, imaging genetics methods comprise two separate steps. First, image features are selected based on their relevance to the disease phenotype.

Genetic influences on exercise participation in 37.051 twin pairs from seven countries [PDF]

, 2006
Background A sedentary lifestyle remains a major threat to health in contemporary societies. To get more insight in the relative contribution of genetic and environmental influences on individual differences in exercise participation, twin samples from ...
