ABSTRACT Oculocutaneous albinism (OCA) is a genetic disorder found worldwide, but its impact is particularly pronounced in the African continent. This results from both a higher prevalence and the persistent myths and superstitions surrounding the condition in many African communities.

Estimating quantitative genetic parameters in wild populations:A comparison of pedigree and genomic approaches [PDF]
The estimation of quantitative genetic parameters in wild populations is generally limited by the accuracy and completeness of the available pedigree information. Using relatedness at genome-wide markers can potentially remove this limitation and lead to

The Swedish Arctic Fox Project: 40 years of research in ecology and conservation
The 4 central research themes in The Swedish Arctic Fox Project and key deliverables for practical conservation achieved over 4 decades. Abstract The scientific community widely recognizes the value of long‐term studies, especially those with individual‐level resolution; however, maintaining a consecutive data series is associated with multiple ...

SLC7A6OS Founder Mutation: A Rare Cause of Progressive Myoclonus Epilepsy Dated to 1100 Years Ago
Abstract Background SLC7A6OS c.191A>G is a rare, autosomal recessive cause of progressive myoclonus epilepsy (PME). The c.191A>G variant, first discovered in two families from Türkiye and Portugal, was recently identified in three additional probands from the USA, all of Puerto Rican ancestry.

EFFECT OF INBREEDING ON LOIN AND FAT DEPTH IN HUNGARIAN LANDRACE PIGS [PDF]
Pedigree and field test data - collected between 1997-2005 - were analyzed in a group of 68062 Hungarian Landrace pigs. The analysed traits were loin depth (LD), fat depth1 (FD1) and fat depth2 (FD2).

Equivalence by descent: pedigree analysis with inbreeding and gametic phase disequilibrium [PDF]
In the presence of gametic phase disequilibrium and inbreeding, multiple locus genotype frequencies cannot be written solely in terms of identity by descent (IBD) probabilities. Following Cockerham & Weir (1973) we introduce the concept of ‘equivalence by descent’ (EBD), an extension of the concept of IBD to include non‐allelic genes. Two genes are

Inbreeding depression in
Background Solanum carolinense (horsenettle) is a highly successful weed with a gametophytic self-incompatibility (SI) system. Previous studies reveal that the strength of SI in S. carolinense is a plastic trait, associated with particular S-alleles. The

American ginseng is a shade‐obligate, North American medicinal plant that is widely traded and used internationally. To meet global demand, ginseng is cultivated in forest farms in the Appalachian region of the USA and field‐based artificial shade farms in two regions: Ontario, Canada and Wisconsin, USA. We conducted social research leveraging in‐depth
