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 ...

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 ...

The relationship between tacrolimus concentration-dose ratio and genetic polymorphism in patients subjected to renal transplantation [PDF]
Vojnosanitetski Pregled, 2018 Background/Aim. Tacrolimus concentration-dose ratio as a potential therapeutic drug monitoring strategy was suggested to be used for the patients subjected to renal transplantation.

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 ...

Association of PAX3 and TMTC2 gene polymorphism with the face morphology change after excision of skin tumors [PDF]
Vojnosanitetski Pregled, 2020 Background/Aim. The group of genes, known as PAX (paired box), has a great role in organogenesis, as well as in maintaining the normal function of certain cells after the birth. In addition to these genes, the impact on the organogenesis, at the cellular

DNA polymorphisms amplified by arbitrary primers are useful as genetic markers.
Nucleic Acids Research, 1990 Molecular genetic maps are commonly constructed by analyzing the segregation of restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) among the progeny of a sexual cross.

Mathematical model for studying genetic variation in terms of restriction endonucleases.
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 1979 A mathematical model for the evolutionary change of restriction sites in mitochondrial DNA is developed. Formulas based on this model are presented for estimating the number of nucleotide substitutions between two populations or species.

Blood ties: ABO is a trans-species polymorphism in primates [PDF]
, 2012 The ABO histo-blood group, the critical determinant of transfusion incompatibility, was the first genetic polymorphism discovered in humans. Remarkably, ABO antigens are also polymorphic in many other primates, with the same two amino acid changes responsible for A and B specificity in all species sequenced to date.

Genetic Variant BDNF (Val66Met) Polymorphism Alters Anxiety-Related Behavior
Science, 2006 A common single-nucleotide polymorphism in the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) gene, a methionine (Met) substitution for valine (Val) at codon 66 (Val66Met), is associated with alterations in brain anatomy and memory, but its relevance to ...
