Molecular polymorphisms that underlie trait variation in crops: Lessons learned from soybean. [PDF]

Plant Genome
Abstract Genetic variation within a germplasm is important in crop improvement, providing a foundation for breeders to develop new varieties. Traits of agronomic and economic importance are often mapped to identify the genetic basis of observed phenotypes, oftentimes using quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis.

An integrated genomic approach for the study of mandibular prognathism in the European seabass (Dicentrarchus labrax) [PDF]

, 2016
Skeletal anomalies in farmed fish are a relevant issue affecting animal welfare and health and causing significant economic losses. Here, a high-density genetic map of European seabass for QTL mapping of jaw deformity was constructed and a genome-wide ...

Meta‐analysis of genetic mapping studies in mice reveals candidate epilepsy modifier genes that are outside the current drug development landscape

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Despite decades of development in anti‐seizure medications, ~30% of individuals remain refractory to all treatments, and none of the existing therapies are disease modifying. Identifying targets outside the current preclinical paradigm is critically important.

Genetic Dissection of a QTL Affecting Bone Geometry. [PDF]

, 2017
Parameters of bone geometry such as width, length, and cross-sectional area are major determinants of bone strength. Although these traits are highly heritable, few genes influencing bone geometry have been identified.

Genetic Determinants of Peanut‐Specific IgG4 Levels in the Context of Sustained Oral Peanut Exposure in the LEAP Study

Immunology, EarlyView.
A cumulative genetic score based on IgG4‐associated variants explains a substantial proportion of variance in psIgG4 levels during sustained peanut consumption, highlighting strong gene‐by‐environment interactions. Our findings suggest that early, sustained peanut consumption, in combination with genetic factors, promotes a protective immune response ...

A multi-trait multi-environment QTL mixed model with an application to drought and nitrogen stress trials in maize (Zea mays L.) [PDF]

Despite QTL mapping being a routine procedure in plant breeding, approaches that fully exploit data from multi-trait multi-environment (MTME) trials are limited.

Unravelling Twin Births in German Holstein Cows: Phenotypic Associations, Genetic Analysis and Potential Underlying Genes and Hormones

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Twin births in dairy cattle are rare but present significant challenges for animal welfare, as both the health of the cow and the calves are affected. This causes economic losses, which prompts breeders to select against twin births and identify associated risk factors.
