Life history and ecological genetics of the colonial ascidian Botryllus schlosseri [PDF]
, 2015 The colonial ascidian Botryllus schlosseri is a cosmopolitan, marine filter feeder, introduced as a laboratory research organism in the 1950s. Currently, it is widely used in many laboratories to investigate a variety of biological questions.

Long-term balancing selection drives evolution of immunity genes in Capsella. [PDF]
, 2019 Genetic drift is expected to remove polymorphism from populations over long periods of time, with the rate of polymorphism loss being accelerated when species experience strong reductions in population size.

An Improved Real--Space Genetic Algorithm for Crystal Structure and Polymorph Prediction [PDF]
Physical Review B 77, 134117 2008, 2008 Existing Genetic Algorithms for crystal structure and polymorph prediction can suffer from stagnation during evolution, with a consequent loss of efficiency and accuracy. An improved Genetic Algorithm (GA) is introduced herein which penalizes similar structures and so enhances structural diversity in the population at each generation.

The best of both worlds: Combining population genetic and quantitative genetic models [PDF]
, 2021 Numerous traits under migration-selection balance are shown to exhibit complex patterns of genetic architecture with large variance in effect sizes. However, the conditions under which such genetic architectures are stable have yet to be investigated, because studying the influence of a large number of small allelic effects on the maintenance of ...

Genetic polymorphisms in sepsis
Pediatric Critical Care Medicine, 2005 Wide variability exists in the susceptibility to and outcome from sepsis even within similar intensive care unit populations. Some of this variability in the host may be due to genetic variation in genes coding for components of the innate immune response.To review the evidence for a genetic influence on the susceptibility to and outcome from sepsis ...

Genetic polymorphisms and folate status [PDF]
Congenital Anomalies, 2017 AbstractModerate hyperhomocysteinemia‐induced low folate status is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease, dementia, and depression. Folate is an essential cofactor in the one‐carbon metabolism pathway and is necessary in amino acid metabolism, purine and thymidylate synthesis, and DNA methylation.

The genetic basis of a social polymorphism in halictid bees
Nature Communications, 2018 The emergence of eusociality represents a major evolutionary transition from solitary to group reproduction. The most commonly studied eusocial species, honey bees and ants, represent the behavioral extremes of social evolution but lack close relatives ...

Solving Novel Program Synthesis Problems with Genetic Programming using Parametric Polymorphism [PDF]
, 2023 Contemporary genetic programming (GP) systems for general program synthesis have been primarily concerned with evolving programs that can manipulate values from a standard set of primitive data types and simple indexed data structures. In contrast, human programmers do not limit themselves to a small finite set of data types and use polymorphism to ...
