Abstract:
... Family health history (FHH) is a data type serving risk assessment, diagnosis, research, and preventive health. Despite technological leaps in genomic variant detection, FHH remains the most accessible, least expensive, and most practical assessment tool for assessing risks attributable to genetic inheritance. The purpose of this manuscript is to outline a process to assist primary care profession ...

Abstract:
... Geochemical gene is a new technique presented recently and its history is described and classified into three stages up to the present. To construct a geochemical gene, five steps are suggested as selection of elements, determination of reference values, spectral line and codes, calculation of similarity, and sequence of elements. The essence of the geochemical gene is similar to the quantitative ...

Abstract:
... A conceptual paradigm for onset of a new disease is often considered to be the result of changes in entire biological networks whose states are affected by a complex interaction of genetic and environmental factors. However, when modeling a relevant phenotype as a function of high dimensional measurements, power to estimate interactions is low, the number of possible interactions could be enormous ...

Abstract:
... Cytogenetics constitutes a branch of genetics that is focused on the cellular components, especially chromosomes, in relation to heredity and genome structure, function and evolution. The use of modern cytogenetic approaches and the latest microscopes with image acquisition and processing systems enables the simultaneous two- or three-dimensional, multicolour visualisation of both single-copy and ...

Abstract:
... Hybrid breeding provides excellent convenience in obtaining products that meet the demands of producers and the market. This study aimed to develop new hybrid tobacco (Nicotiana spp.) varieties that meet the demands of tobacco producers and buyers to provide continuity in homogenous products and genetically to determine the effects of parameters investigated. In this study, five parents (OZE S2 [P ...

Abstract:
... Paracymoriza distinctalis is a semiaquatic lepidopteran insect, which is of great value for studying the differentiation of the Pyraloidea superfamily. However, the understanding of heredity, evolution, and functional genomics of P. distinctalis are limited by few genome‐wide resources. Here, we applied PacBio sequencing and the chromosome capture technique to assemble the first P. distinctalis ge ...

Abstract:
... Grain hardness (HI) is a key trait for wheat milling and end-use quality. Puroindoline genes (PINs) are the major genes responsible for grain hardness, but other QTLs also contribute to the trait. Therefore, it is essential to identify loci associated with the HI and allelic variations of PINs in wheat. In the present study, 287 accessions from Shanxi province representing 70 years of wheat breedi ...
... The genus Actinidia, also called kiwifruit, is characterized with abundant balanced nutritional metabolites, including exceptionally high vitamin C content. However, the traditional classification could not fully reflect the actual Actinidia species’ relationships, which need further revision through more accurate approaches. Compared to the nuclear genome, the chloroplast genome has simple heredi ...
... Benzobicyclon tolerance in rice (Oryza sativa L.) is dependent on the presence of a functional HIS1 gene, but the level of sensitivity might vary among different cultivars. Greenhouse, laboratory, and field experiments were conducted to further explore the role of HIS1 in cultivated rice tolerance and to exploit findings toward optimizing benzobicyclon activity on weedy rice (unwanted rice; Oryza ...
... The genus Carya consists of 17 species divided into 3 sections: Carya or the true hickories, Apocarya or the pecan hickories, and Sinocarya or the Asian hickories. Interspecific hybrids exist and have been used in pecan cultivar development. Nuclear and plastid microsatellite or SSR markers have been useful in distinguishing species, sections, and populations. They provide evidence for hybridity b ...

... The development of new seedless cultivar represents one of the most important goals in table grape breeding programmes worldwide. The most common technique to obtain new seedless cultivars is embryo rescue, an approach that allows the isolation of immature embryos and their cultivation in vitro. In this study, a total of 23 crosses (developed employing one seeded and one seedless parent) were perf ...

Abstract:
... BACKGROUND: The relationship between maternal vitamin D status in pregnancy and the development of atopic diseases in the offspring has been frequently studied, but with contradictory results. Previous studies have found an inverse relation between maternal vitamin D in pregnancy and the risk of atopic diseases in the child. In contrast, others have found a higher maternal 25OHD to be related to a ...
... About 15% of colorectal cancer (CRC) patients have first-degree relatives affected by the same malignancy. However, for most families the cause of familial aggregation of CRC is unknown. To identify novel high-to-moderate-penetrance germline variants underlying CRC susceptibility, we performed whole exome sequencing (WES) on four CRC cases and two unaffected members of a Polish family without any ...
... Arsenic is a ubiquitous element in the environment, a source of constant evolutionary pressure on organisms. The arsenic resistance machinery is thoroughly described for bacteria. Highly resistant lineages are also common in eukaryotes, but evolutionary knowledge is much more limited. While the origin of the resistance machinery in eukaryotes is loosely attributed to horizontal gene transfer (HGT) ...

Abstract:
... The carpel number (CN) is related to fruit shape variation in watermelon and represents one of the most important agronomic traits. In this study, ZXG01553 (5‐CN type) and W1‐17 (3‐CN type) lines were used as parental material to construct F₁, F₂ and backcross populations for genetic inheritance analysis and QTL (quantitative trait locus) mapping. The F₁ generation displayed the 3‐CN type and the ...
... One hundred and five (105) bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) genotypes, including five commercial checks, were screened for stripe rust resistance at seedling and adult plant stages. Seedlings grown under controlled conditions were screened for disease resistance after 12 days concerning disease incidence percentage after inoculation. K-means cluster analysis divided the genotypes into five diffe ...

Abstract:
... This work focuses on the genetic variation of Chinese fir clones in the radial direction. Four 20-year-old Chinese fir clones were selected in Kaihua Forest Farm, Zhejiang, China, and the differences and genetic characteristics were studied. Clonal repeatability, genotype coefficient of variable, and phenotypical coefficient of variable were calculated to light on the genetic variation on the radi ...
... Morphine, sanguinarine and chelerythrine are benzylisoquinoline alkaloids (BIAs), and these compounds possess strong biological activities. (S)-scoulerine is a commonly shared precursor of these compounds, and berberine bridge enzyme (BBE) is a key rate-limiting enzyme in the synthesis of (S)-scoulerine. We isolated the BBE gene from Macleaya cordata (McBBE) and used CEN.PK2-1C as a chassis strain ...

Abstract:
... Transposable element sequences are usually vertically inherited but have also spread across taxa via horizontal transfer. Previous investigations of ancient horizontal transfer of transposons have compared consensus sequences, but this method resists detection of recent single or low copy number transfer events. The relationship between humans and domesticated animals represents an opportunity for ...

Abstract:
... Currants and gooseberries (Ribes sp.) are important berry crops with high nutritional value, and the efficient development of new cultivars depends on the characterisation of Ribes genetic resources and successful inclusion into breeding materials. Ribes breeding programs are characterised by the extensive use of interspecific crosses to introduce required traits. In some cases, this makes it chal ...
