Genomic Diversity and Runs of Homozygosity in Bernese Mountain Dogs

open access: yesGenes, 2023
Bernese mountain dogs are a large dog breed formed in the early 1900s in Switzerland. While originally farm dogs that were used for pulling carts, guarding, and driving cattle, today they are considered multi-purpose companion and family dogs. The breed is predisposed to several complex diseases, such as histiocytic sarcoma, degenerative myelopathy, or

Demographic assessment of the Dalmatian dog – effective population size, linkage disequilibrium and inbreeding coefficients

open access: yesCanine Medicine and Genetics, 2020
Background The calculation of demographic measures is a useful tool for evaluating the genomic architecture of dog breeds and enables ranking dog breeds in terms of genetic diversity.

A method for genotyping elite breeding stocks of leaf chicory (Cichorium intybus L.) by assaying mapped microsatellite marker loci [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
BACKGROUND: Leaf chicory (Cichorium intybus subsp. intybus var. foliosum L.) is a diploid plant species (2n = 18) of the Asteraceae family. The term "chicory" specifies at least two types of cultivated plants: a leafy vegetable, which is highly ...

Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa: COL7A1 Mutation Landscape in a Multi-Ethnic Cohort of 152 Extended Families with High Degree of Customary Consanguineous Marriages [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa is a heritable skin disease manifesting with sub-lamina densa blistering, erosions, and chronic ulcers. COL7A1, encoding type VII collagen, has been identified as the candidate gene for dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa. In

Associations of genome-wide and regional autozygosity with 96 complex traits in old order Amish

open access: yesBMC Genomics, 2023
Background: Autozygosity, the proportion of the genome that is homozygous by descent, has been associated with variation in multiple health-related traits impacting evolutionary fitness. Autozygosity (FROH) is typically measured from runs of homozygosity

Формирование эмоциональной культуры как компонента инновационной культуры студентов [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Homozygosity has long been associated with rare, often devastating, Mendelian disorders1 and Darwin was one of the first to recognise that inbreeding reduces evolutionary fitness2.

Genome-wide detection for runs of homozygosity analysis in three pig breeds from Chinese Taihu Basin and Landrace pigs by SLAF-seq data

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Agriculture, 2022
Erhualian (E), Meishan (MS) and Mi (MI) pigs are excellent indigenous pig breeds in Chinese Taihu Basin, which have made great contributions to the genetic improvement of commercial pigs. Investigation of the genetic structure and inbreeding level of the

Association of Long Runs of Homozygosity With Alzheimer Disease Among African American Individuals [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
IMPORTANCE: Mutations in known causal Alzheimer disease (AD) genes account for only 1% to 3% of patients and almost all are dominantly inherited. Recessive inheritance of complex phenotypes can be linked to long (>1-megabase [Mb]) runs of homozygosity ...

Genome-Wide Assessment of Runs of Homozygosity and Estimates of Genomic Inbreeding in a Chinese Composite Pig Breed

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2021
The primary purpose of the current study was to assess the genetic diversity, runs of homozygosity (ROH) and ROH islands in a Chinese composite pig and explore hotspot regions for traces of selection. First, we estimated the length, number, and frequency
