A genome-wide scan to detect signatures of recent selection in Australian Merino sheep
Domestication and selection are processes that conserve the pattern of genetic diversities between and within populations. Identification of genomic regions that are targets of selection for phenotypic traits is one of the main aims of research in animal genetics. An approach for identifying divergently selected regions of the genome is to compare FST values among loci to estimate the genetic v...
متن کاملGenome-wide scan of exfoliation syndrome.
PURPOSE Exfoliation syndrome (XFS) is an age-related ocular condition that is characterized by the accumulation of fibrillogranular extracellular material in intra- and extraocular tissues. The purpose of the present study was to identify the genetic basis of XFS in a large Finnish family. METHODS A genome-wide scan with 1000 microsatellite markers was performed in an extended family from an ...
متن کاملGenome-wide association scan of trait depression.
BACKGROUND Independent of temporal circumstances, some individuals have greater susceptibility to depressive affects, such as feelings of guilt, sadness, hopelessness, and loneliness. Identifying the genetic variants that contribute to these individual differences can point to biological pathways etiologically involved in psychiatric disorders. METHODS Genome-wide association scans for the de...
متن کاملSexual orientation, theory of mind and empathy: a comparison of male homosexual and male and female heterosexuals
Background: Researchers have been investigating similarities of and differences between homosexuals and heterosexuals for past few decades. Several studies have shown that in the particular domain (e.g., spatial ability), male homosexuals would resemble female heterosexuals better than male heterosexuals. Executive function, however, has received more attention than social cognition in this lin...
متن کاملResults of a Genome-Wide Scan for Stroke Loci
Ischemic stroke has long been recognized to cluster in families. This clustering has been attributed to both genetic factors and common environmental exposures. Gene mutations have been identified that lead to rare ischemic stroke syndromes like CADASIL and MELAS. However, the search for genetic loci associated with ischemic stroke risk has yielded meager results thus far, despite several candi...
