Review: Balancing Selection for Deleterious Alleles in Livestock

Frontiers in Genetics, 2021
Harmful alleles can be under balancing selection due to an interplay of artificial selection for the variant in heterozygotes and purifying selection against the variant in homozygotes.

Population-specific positive selection on low CR1 expression in malaria-endemic regions.

PLoS ONE, 2023
Complement Receptor Type 1 (CR1) is a malaria-associated gene that encodes a transmembrane receptor of erythrocytes and is crucial for malaria parasite invasion. The expression of CR1 contributes to the rosetting of erythrocytes in the brain bloodstream,

Microstructure, Variant Selection, and Mechanical Properties of Laser-Welded Ti-4Al-2V Joints

Metals
Laser welding of the near α-phase titanium alloy Ti-4Al-2V, used for complex components in the nuclear industry, has been rarely reported. In this study, butt weld joints made of Ti-4Al-2V alloy plates under different parameters, including the laser ...

A novel protective prion protein variant that colocalizes with kuru exposure. [PDF]

, 2009
BACKGROUND: Kuru is a devastating epidemic prion disease that affected a highly restricted geographic area of the Papua New Guinea highlands; at its peak, it predominantly affected adult women and children of both sexes.

The variant selection of Fe-Mn-Si based shape memory alloy by the Schmid's factor

Nihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2016
The shape memory effect (SME) in Fe-Mn-Si based alloy is associated with γ ⇄ ε martensitic transformation which is caused by motion of the Shockley partial dislocation.

The Eurasian lactase persistence variant LCT-13910 C/T is associated with vitamin D levels in individuals living at high latitude, more so than exposure to sunlight

Journal of Nutritional Science, 2020
Rapid selection of a genetic variant that confers continuous life-long lactase production in Europeans (LCT-13910 C/T) has been attributed to the advantages of acquiring nutrients from consuming milk without the disadvantages of lactose malabsorption ...

Effects of Holding Temperature on Bainite Transformation in Cr-Mo Steel [PDF]

Journal of Mechanical Engineering and Sciences, 2014
The effect of holding temperature on the variant selection mechanism during bainite transformation was investigated in 2Cr-1Mo steel. The transformation behaviour was studied by using high temperature laser scanning confocal microscopy (LSCM) via in situ

Solid Pseudopapillary Neoplasm of the Pancreas in Children and Adolescents: Expert Recommendations

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Solid pseudopapillary neoplasm of the pancreas (SPN) is a rare low‐grade malignant exocrine pancreatic tumor, mostly discovered during the second decade of life in females, with a very good prognosis, provided microscopically complete surgical excision is achieved.
