Landscape genetics and gene flow in the banana pathogenic fungus Mycosphaerella fijiensis [PDF]

, 2007
Among the different evolutionary forces driving population genetics, gene flow related to dispersal plays a major role in local adaptation processes. However very few studies on plant pathogenic fungi focussed on deciphering gene flow patterns at the ...

The limits of mean-field heterozygosity estimates under spatial extension in simulated plant populations [PDF]

, 2012
Computational models of evolutionary processes are increasingly required to incorporate multiple and diverse sources of data. A popular feature to include in population genetics models is spatial extension, which reflects more accurately natural ...

Molecular Methods for Rare Hemoglobinopathy Cases: First Brazilian Report of Pediatric Siblings with Hb O‐Arab and Alpha‐Thalassemia

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hemoglobinopathies are prevalent globally; diagnosis is complex in high genetic admixture populations like Brazil. We report, in two pediatric siblings, the first documented cases in Brazil of heterozygosity for hemoglobin (Hb) O‐Arab with coinheritance of α‐thalassemia (αα/−α4.2; −α3.7/−α4.2), resulting in microcytic and hypochromic anemia ...

Population genetics models of local ancestry

, 2012
Migrations have played an important role in shaping the genetic diversity of human populations. Understanding genomic data thus requires careful modeling of historical gene flow.

Alveolar Soft Part Sarcoma in Pediatric and Young Adult Patients: A Report From the Children's Oncology Group Study ARST0332

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Alveolar soft part sarcoma (ASPS) is a rare soft tissue sarcoma occurring most commonly in adolescence and young adulthood. Methods We present the clinical characteristics, treatments, and outcomes of patients with newly diagnosed ASPS enrolled on the Children's Oncology Group study ARST0332.

Demographic history and genomics of local adaptation in blue tit populations

Evolutionary Applications, 2020
Understanding the genomic processes underlying local adaptation is a central aim of modern evolutionary biology. This task requires identifying footprints of local selection but also estimating spatio‐temporal variations in population demography and ...

Structure and expression of dog apolipoprotein A-I, E, and C-I mRNAs: implications for the evolution and functional constraints of apolipoprotein structure.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1989
Dog apolipoprotein (apo) C-I, A-I, and E cDNA clones were identified in a dog liver cDNA library in lambda gt10 by hybridization to synthetic oligonucleotide probes with the corresponding human DNA sequences. The longest clone for each apolipoprotein was

Population genetics of trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense: clonality and diversity within and between foci [PDF]

, 2013
African trypanosomes are unusual among pathogenic protozoa in that they can undergo their complete morphological life cycle in the tsetse fly vector with mating as a non-obligatory part of this development.

Implementing Health‐Related Quality of Life Assessment in Pediatric Oncology: A Feasibility Study

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background There is growing interest in embedding health‐related quality of life (HRQoL) assessment and patient‐reported outcome measures (PROMs) within clinical cancer care. This study evaluated the feasibility, acceptability, and usability of implementing an electronic PROM (ePROM) platform to measure HRQoL in children with cancer ...
