Dectin-1 and DC-SIGN polymorphisms associated with invasive pulmonary Aspergillosis infection.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
The recognition of pathogen-derived structures by C-type lectins and the chemotactic activity mediated by the CCL2/CCR2 axis are critical steps in determining the host immune response to fungi.

Universality classes of interaction structures for NK fitness landscapes

open access: yes, 2018
Kauffman's NK-model is a paradigmatic example of a class of stochastic models of genotypic fitness landscapes that aim to capture generic features of epistatic interactions in multilocus systems. Genotypes are represented as sequences of $L$ binary loci.

GenePath: a System for Automated Construction of Genetic Networks from Mutant Data [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Motivation: Genetic pathways are often used in the analysis of biological phenomena. In classical genetics, they are constructed manually from experimental data on mutants. The field lacks formalism to guide such analysis, and accounting for all the data

DNAwhisper: An Integrated Deep Learning Pyramidal Framework for Multi‐Trait Genomic Prediction and Adaptive Marker Prioritisation

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Genomic selection (GS) is critical for accelerating genetic gain in modern plant breeding. Deep learning approaches offer powerful non‐linear representation capabilities for modelling non‐additive effects. However, their application in GS remains restricted, as high‐dimensional, low‐sample and noisy data hinder the identification of ...

Epistasis and Shapes of Fitness Landscapes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The relationship between the shape of a fitness landscape and the underlying gene interactions, or epistasis, has been extensively studied in the two-locus case. Gene interactions among multiple loci are usually reduced to two-way interactions.

Modelling epistasis in genetic disease using Petri nets, evolutionary computation and frequent itemset mining [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Petri nets are useful for mathematically modelling disease-causing genetic epistasis. A Petri net model of an interaction has the potential to lead to biological insight into the cause of a genetic disease.

Highly Polygenic Control of Photosynthetic Responses to Nighttime Temperature Studied by Genomic Prediction

open access: yesPlant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rising nighttime temperature (Tnight) can reduce crop yields while low Tnight may restrict plant growth and development. Despite quantifiable effects of Tnight, genetic basis underlying plant responses to Tnight remains unclear. We investigated natural variation in long‐term response of effective photosynthetic efficiency (Fq’/Fm’) to Tnight ...

Sign Epistasis and the Geometry of Interactions

open access: yes, 2018
Approaches to gene interactions based on sign epistasis have been highly influential in recent time. Sign epistasis is useful for relating local and global properties of fitness landscapes, as well as for analyzing evolutionary trajectories and constraints.

Elasticity sampling links thermodynamics to metabolic control [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Metabolic networks can be turned into kinetic models in a predefined steady state by sampling the reaction elasticities in this state. Elasticities for many reversible rate laws can be computed from the reaction Gibbs free energies, which are determined ...

Combining phenomic and genomic selection for pea breeding improvement

open access: yesThe Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 9, Issue 1, December 2026.
Abstract Pea (Pisum sativum L.) is a strategic crop in the development of sustainable agriculture. However, the genetic gain remains limited despite advances in breeding. Genomic selection holds promise to accelerate varietal improvement, but its high implementation cost restricts its use in crops.
