Stroke and Alzheimer’s Disease: A Mendelian Randomization Study

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2020
Stroke and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) are common neurological diseases. Several exiting studies indicated that late onset-AD and ischemic stroke have shared genetic links. Different kinds of stroke have different mechanisms.

Environmental pleiotropy and demographic history direct adaptation under antibiotic selection [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Evolutionary rescue following environmental change requires mutations permitting population growth in the new environment. If change is severe enough to prevent most of the population reproducing, rescue becomes reliant on mutations already present.

Genomic Analysis Reveals Pleiotropic Alleles at EDN3 and BMP7 Involved in Chicken Comb Color and Egg Production

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2019
Artificial selection is often associated with numerous changes in seemingly unrelated phenotypic traits. The genetic mechanisms of correlated phenotypes probably involve pleiotropy or linkage of genes related to such phenotypes.

Lower mutation rates increase cooperation but pleiotropy still evolves, even when pleiotropy is costly.

open access: yes, 2022
We varied the gain-of-function mutation rate, μ, using values 10-fold lower than the typical value used in the main text, and assumed that the evolution of pleiotropy decreases group function by 2%.

QTL Landscape for Oil Content in Brassica juncea: Analysis in Multiple Bi-Parental Populations in High and “0” Erucic Background

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Increasing oil content in oilseed mustard (Brassica juncea) is a major breeding objective—more so, in the lines that have “0” erucic acid content (< 2% of the seed oil) as earlier studies have shown negative pleiotropic effect of erucic acid loci on ...

A genotype and phenotype analysis of SMAD6 mutant patients with radioulnar synostosis

open access: yesMolecular Genetics & Genomic Medicine, 2022
Background SMAD6 variants have been reported in patients with radioulnar synostosis (RUS). This study aimed to investigate the genotypes and phenotypes for a large cohort of patients with RUS having mutant SMAD6. Methods Genomic DNA samples were isolated

Identification of pleiotropic genes and gene sets underlying growth and immunity traits: a case study on Meishan pigs

open access: yesAnimal, 2016
Both growth and immune capacity are important traits in animal breeding. The animal quantitative trait loci (QTL) database is a valuable resource and can be used for interpreting the genetic mechanisms that underlie growth and immune traits. However, QTL

How much energetic trade‐offs limit selection? Insights from livestock and related laboratory model species

open access: yesEvolutionary Applications, 2021
Trade‐offs between life history traits are expected to occur due to the limited amount of resources that organisms can obtain and share among biological functions, but are of least concern for selection responses in nutrient‐rich or benign environments ...

The Gene scb-1 Underlies Variation in Caenorhabditis elegans Chemotherapeutic Responses

open access: yesG3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2020
Pleiotropy, the concept that a single gene controls multiple distinct traits, is prevalent in most organisms and has broad implications for medicine and agriculture.
