Dissecting the phenotypic variability of osteogenesis imperfecta
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a heterogeneous family of collagen type I-related diseases characterized by bone fragility. OI is most commonly caused by single-nucleotide substitutions that replace glycine residues or exon splicing defects in the COL1A1

Phenotypic variability in the shield morphology of wild- vs. lab-reared eumalacostracan larvae [PDF]
Morphological identification of planktic crustacean larvae is required in many scientific contexts, such as ecology or taxonomy. Due to a still low availability of genetic sequences for many ingroups of Eumalacostraca, this task is still more feasible by

Variability of an Early Developmental Cell Population Underlies Stochastic Laterality Defects
Summary: Embryonic development seemingly proceeds with almost perfect precision. However, it is largely unknown how much underlying microscopic variability is compatible with normal development.

Overview of Monogenic Forms of Hypertension Combined With Hypokalemia
Hypertension is an important risk factor in many conditions and creates a heavy burden of disease and mortality globally. Polygenic hypertension is the most common form; however, it is increasingly recognized that monogenic hypertension is not rare ...

Phenotypic flexibility and the evolution of organismal design [PDF]
Evolutionary biologists often use phenotypic differences between species and between individuals to gain an understanding of organismal design. The focus of much recent attention has been on developmental plasticity – the environmentally induced ...

Phenotypic robustness can increase phenotypic variability after non-genetic perturbations in gene regulatory circuits [PDF]
Non-genetic perturbations, such as environmental change or developmental noise, can induce novel phenotypes. If an induced phenotype confers a fitness advantage, selection may promote its genetic stabilization. Non-genetic perturbations can thus initiate

Transgressivity in Key Functional Traits Rather Than Phenotypic Plasticity Promotes Stress Tolerance in A Hybrid Cordgrass [PDF]
Hybridization might promote offspring fitness via a greater tolerance to environmental stressors due to heterosis and higher levels of phenotypic plasticity.
