Advances in Exercise, Fitness, and Performance Genomics

Advances in exercise, fitness, and performance genomics.

An annual review publication of the most significant articles in exercise, fitness, and performance genomics begins with this article, which covers 2 yr, 2008 and 2009. The review emphasizes the strongest articles as defined by sample size, quality of phenotype measurements, quality of the exercise program or physical activity exposure, study design, adjustment for multiple testing, quality of ...

Advances in Exercise, Fitness, and Performance Genomics in 2015.

This review of the exercise genomics literature encompasses the highest-quality articles published in 2015 across seven broad topics: physical activity behavior, muscular strength and power, cardiorespiratory fitness and endurance performance, body weight and adiposity, insulin and glucose metabolism, lipid and lipoprotein metabolism, and hemodynamic traits. One study used a quantitative trait ...

Necessary advances in exercise genomics and likely pitfalls.

A NUMBER of methodological approaches within the field of genetic epidemiology have been utilized to unravel the genetic basis of physical performance. Popular gene discovery methods for polygenic traits are summarized in Fig. 1. The basic family/twin study approach has provided useful and reliable genetic data. A recent twin study, which comprised 37,051 twin pairs from seven European countrie...

Advances in structural genomics.

New computational techniques have allowed protein folds to be assigned to all or parts of between a quarter (Caenorhabditis elegans) and a half (Mycoplasma genitalium) of the individual protein sequences in different genomes. These assignments give a new perspective on domain structures, gene duplications, protein families and protein folds in genome sequences.
