This textbook provides a detailed, modern, and concept-based approach to the fundamental principles of genetics, emphasizing problem-solving and critical thinking skills essential for students in biology, medicine, and related fields.
A collection of reproducible research protocols and methodologies focused on comparative genomics. Each volume in the Methods in Molecular Biology series provides step-by-step protocols, including introductory overviews, materials lists, detailed procedures, and helpful notes with troubleshooting advice.
Rare monogenic disorders of the primary cilium (ciliopathies) are characterized by extreme presentations of common diseases, such as diabetes, hepatic fibrosis, and kidney failure. This study investigates the contribution of common genetic variants within Mendelian ciliopathy genes to common complex diseases pathogenesis. Researchers performed association studies of 16,874 common genetic variants across 122 ciliary genes with 12 quantitative laboratory traits in 452,593 individuals in the UK Biobank, identifying 101 statistically significant associations. The findings challenge the widely held belief that the cilium is an organelle important mainly in rare syndromic disease pathogenesis, demonstrating the utility of a Mendelian pathway-based approach to genomic association studies.
This book focuses on the genetic improvement of small millets, addressing their historical importance in Asian and African diets, analyzing the factors contributing to their decline, and discussing the need for technological breakthroughs in yield and improved value chains compared to major cereals like rice and wheat.
A comprehensive review analyzing the role and application of epigenetics in driving modern advancements and improvements within agricultural crop science.
This volume examines behavioral genetics research on temperament and personality across the lifespan. The contributors explore nuanced questions that move beyond simple heritability estimates to address issues regarding genetic and environmental mechanisms or processes associated with the development of temperament, personality, and related outcomes.
A comprehensive review book covering the essential topics in Pathology and Genetics, designed for medical students and practitioners preparing for exams.
A study conducting genome-wide selection analysis and machine learning feasibility tests using Deep Neural Network Genomic Prediction (DNNGP) on a large panel of 2,430 modern maize inbred lines. The research explores rare and favorable allelic variations to understand missing genetic diversity and improve future breeding strategies for traits like yield potential, density tolerance, and disease resistance.
