Key message Univariate and multivariate (PC-based) QTL analyses in multiple segregating populations and environments identify 284 QTL and 52 PC-QTL for 24 volatile aroma compounds in cucumber, including two environmentally stable QTL clusters, each...
Large repetitive elements and complex chromosomal organization continue to challenge accurate assembly of eukaryotic genomes. Optical genome mapping (OGM) provides long-range genomic information by imaging individual DNA molecules. While most OGM...
Background The American Society of Breast Surgeons recommends germline testing (GT) for all patients with a personal history of breast cancer (BC), citing concerns that guideline-based approaches may miss mutation carriers. We evaluated the...
Mango (Mangifera indica L.) is a highly valued tropical and subtropical fruit crop with significant economic, cultural and nutritional importance, particularly in Asia, which serves as the primary centre of origin and diversification. The extensive...
The development of climate-resilient rice cultivars requires the simultaneous incorporation of multiple resistance and tolerance genes through marker-assisted selection (MAS). Conventional single-locus PCR assays are labor-intensive, costly, and...
Background Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are an important model for studying human diseases in vitro. However, previous studies have shown that iPSC reprogramming and extended cell culture can introduce genomic structural variants (SVs)....
This study investigated genetic variability among 114 rice genotypes, including advanced breeding lines, under submergence conditions, focusing on 14 traits. The analysis revealed that the Phenotypic Coefficient of Variation (PCV) exceeded the...
Biodiversity is undergoing an unprecedented global decline, and genetic diversity plays a fundamental role in ensuring species persistence. Miconia ulei, an endemic species from the eastern Atlantic Forest in Santa Catarina, southern Brazil, is rare...
The little tunny (Euthynnus alletteratus,Scombridae) have great economic importance with a large volume of catches. Recently, both the south-eastern and northern stocks were found to be at high and moderate risk of overfishing, respectively. Here...
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a highly heterogeneous metabolic trait, with a higher prevalence in East Asians. Despite extensive genetic studies focusing mainly on Europeans, how genetic risk for T2D is distributed across biological pathways in East...
Genetic-based risk prediction is becoming increasingly available for a wide range of common diseases thanks to the growth of large-scale biobanks and population-scale genetic studies. However, despite widespread availability, genetic risk prediction...
Background The Tibetan yak is a keystone species in the Tibetan Plateau ecosystem. It serves as a vital source of livelihood for local herders and also represents a distinctive model for studying biological adaptation mechanisms to extreme...
Leymus chinensis(sheepgrass) is a perennial grass of ecological and agricultural importance in the Eurasian steppe, yet genomic research and breeding are hindered by its large, complex allotetraploid genome. Here, we present the first high-density...
The present study describes the design and development of a high density SNP array for indigenous Indian pigs. Using whole-genome resequencing of eight populations, over 61 million variants were discovered and filtered to produce a final panel of...
As one of the world’s major food crops, wheat is a key source of essential trace elements such as zinc (Zn) and iron (Fe) for the human body. Developing zinc and iron rich wheat cultivars, a sustainable biofortification strategy, can help alleviate...
Purpose of Review Conserving ecological connectivity is important for maintaining resilient and genetically diverse populations. Landscape genetic analyses represent a powerful tool to help model connectivity for conservation, but there exist risks...
Motivation Graph pangenomics and long-read sequencing hold the promise of integrating read mapping with variant calling. A pangenome encodes a reference that incorporates evolutionary events in a population, such as recombinations among haplotypes....
Background Effect size estimates in genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and Mendelian randomization (MR) based on unrelated individuals are often confounded by dynastic effects (DE). Existing family-trio-based methods can mitigate this bias, but...
Indica and japonica subspecies of rice represent different gene pools and agro-morphological characteristics. Inter sub-specific hybridization between them can result in heterosis and superior segregants for enhanced utilization. National Genebank...
Listeria monocytogenesremains a major foodborne threat despite decades of research, with persistent outbreaks linked to ready-to-eat foods underscore the limitations in current food safety monitoring. Therefore, rapid, interpretable markers that...
