Real but modest gains from genetic barcoding
Costa and Carvalho make a compelling case for the practical utility of barcoding fish. Essentially the barcode, the precise sequence of a carefully chosen few hundred base pairs of a mitochondrial gene found in all eukaryotes, is intended as a defini taxonomic criterion that can be added to the existing description of a species, but that has the enormous advantage of being applicable to any par...
متن کاملPsoriasis and cardiometabolic traits: modest association but distinct genetic architectures
Psoriasis has been linked to cardiometabolic diseases, but epidemiological findings are inconsistent. We investigated the association between psoriasis and cardiometabolic outcomes in a German cross-sectional study (n=4,185) and a prospective cohort of German Health Insurance beneficiaries (n=1,811,098). A potential genetic overlap was explored using genome-wide data from >22,000 coronary arter...
متن کاملBut are they Meritorious? Genetic Productivity Gains under Plant Intellectual Property Rights
The objective of this paper is to evaluate the effect of Plant Variety Protection (PVP) on the productive merit ⁄yield increases of US seed varieties. As an example, we use wheat varieties, which are and have been available as both protected and unprotected under PVP from both the public and private sectors. We find evidence that PVP has contributed to the genetic improvement of wheat, using va...

متن کاملDominance, epistasis, heritabilities and expected genetic gains
Although epistasis is common in gene systems that determine quantitative traits, it is usually not possible to estimate the epistatic components of genotypic variance because experiments in breeding programs include only one type of progeny. As the study of this phenomenon is complex, there is a lack of theoretical knowledge on the contribution of the epistatic variances when predicting gains f...
