Probing Plasmodium falciparum sexual commitment at the single-cell level [PDF]

, 2018
Background: Malaria parasites go through major transitions during their complex life cycle, yet the underlying differentiation pathways remain obscure.

Dissecting closely linked association signals in combination with the mammalian phenotype database can identify candidate genes in dairy cattle

BMC Genetics, 2019
Background Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have been successfully implemented in cattle research and breeding. However, moving from the associations to identify the causal variants and reveal underlying mechanisms have proven complicated. In dairy

Prioritizing candidate genes for fertility in dairy cows using gene-based analysis, functional annotation and differential gene expression

BMC Genomics, 2019
Background An unfavorable genetic correlation between milk production and fertility makes simultaneous improvement of milk production and fertility difficult in cattle breeding. Rapid genetic improvement in milk production traits in dairy cattle has been

A Model for the Generation and Transmission of Variations in Evolution [PDF]

, 2013
The inheritance of characteristics induced by the environment has often been opposed to the theory of evolution by natural selection. Yet, while evolution by natural selection requires new heritable traits to be produced and transmitted, it does not ...

Asymptotic analysis of a quantitative genetics model with nonlinear integral operator

Journal de l'École polytechnique. Mathématiques, 2018
We study the asymptotic behavior of stationary solutions to a quantitative genetics model with trait-dependent mortality and sexual reproduction. The infinitesimal model accounts for the mixing of parental phenotypes at birth.Our asymptotic analysis ...

Determining selection across heterogeneous landscapes: a perturbation-based method and its application to modeling evolution in space [PDF]

, 2017
Spatial structure can decisively influence the way evolutionary processes unfold. Several methods have thus far been used to study evolution in spatial systems, including population genetics, quantitative genetics, momentclosure approximations, and ...

Microbial metal resistance and metabolism across dynamic landscapes: high-throughput environmental microbiology. [PDF]

, 2017
Multidimensional gradients of inorganic compounds influence microbial activity in diverse pristine and anthropogenically perturbed environments. Here, we suggest that high-throughput cultivation and genetics can be systematically applied to generate ...

Weighting sequence variants based on their annotation increases the power of genome-wide association studies in dairy cattle

Genetics Selection Evolution, 2019
Background Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) are widely used to identify regions of the genome that harbor genetic determinants of quantitative traits.

Estimation of variance components and prediction of breeding values based on group records from varying group sizes

Genetics Selection Evolution, 2018
Background Records on groups of individuals rather than on single individuals could be valuable for predicting breeding values (BV) of the traits that are difficult or costly to measure individually, such as feed intake in pigs or beef cattle.
