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

Frontiers 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.

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

Frontiers 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

Molecular 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

Animal, 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

Evolutionary 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

G3: 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.

Function and evolution of microRNAs in eusocial Hymenoptera

Frontiers in Genetics, 2015
The emergence of eusociality (true sociality) in several insect lineages represents one of the most successful evolutionary adaptations in the animal kingdom in terms of species richness and global biomass.

Evidence for the Accumulation of Nonsynonymous Mutations and Favorable Pleiotropic Alleles During Wheat Breeding

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2020
Plant breeding leads to the genetic improvement of target traits by selecting a small number of genotypes from among typically large numbers of candidate genotypes after careful evaluation.

Pleiotropic mutations can rapidly evolve to directly benefit self and cooperative partner despite unfavorable conditions

eLife, 2021
Cooperation, paying a cost to benefit others, is widespread. Cooperation can be promoted by pleiotropic ‘win-win’ mutations which directly benefit self (self-serving) and partner (partner-serving).
