Strong signature of natural selection within an FHIT intron implicated in prostate cancer risk [PDF]
Previously, a candidate gene linkage approach on brother pairs affected with prostate cancer identified a locus of prostate cancer susceptibility at D3S1234 within the fragile histidine triad gene (FHIT), a tumor suppressor that induces apoptosis ...

Genetic correlates of longevity and selected age-related phenotypes: a genome-wide association study in the Framingham Study [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Family studies and heritability estimates provide evidence for a genetic contribution to variation in the human life span. METHODS:We conducted a genome wide association study (Affymetrix 100K SNP GeneChip) for longevity-related traits in a ...

Developing Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms for Identification of Cod Products by RAD-Seq
The increase in the rate of seafood fraud, particularly in the expensive fishes, forces us to verify the identity of marine products. Meanwhile, the definition of cod lacks consistency at the international level, as few standards and effective ...

Low-density genotype panel for both parentage verification and discovery in a multi-breed sheep population [PDF]
peer-reviewedThe generally low usage of artificial insemination and single-sire mating in sheep, compounded by mob lambing (and lambing outdoors), implies that parentage assignment in sheep is challenging.
