SpBase: the sea urchin genome database and web site
TL;DR: This version of the system contains two assemblies of the purple sea urchin genome, associated expressed sequences, gene annotations and accessory resources, and search mechanisms for the sequences and the gene annotations are provided.
Genetic basis and the current breeding efforts for quality protein maize in Southern Africa
TL;DR: The objective of this review was to scrutinise the genetic basis of quality protein maize (QPM), and current breeding efforts, and propose potential uptake pathways for QPM products in southern Africa, and declare marker assisted breeding methods the most efficient way of QPM breeding.
Fine-scale mapping of disease loci via shattered coalescent modeling of genealogies.
A. P. Morris,A. P. Morris,John C. Whittaker,John C. Whittaker,David J. Balding,David J. Balding +5 more
TL;DR: A Bayesian, Markov-chain Monte Carlo method for fine-scale linkage-disequilibrium gene mapping using high-density marker maps, incorporating the shattered coalescent model for genealogies, allowing for multiple founding mutations at the disease locus and for sporadic cases of disease.
Genome-wide analysis of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter gene family in sea lamprey and Japanese lamprey.
Jianfeng Ren,Yu Wen Chung-Davidson,Chu Yin Yeh,Camille Scott,Titus C. Brown,Weiming Li,Weiming Li +6 more
TL;DR: A genome-wide survey of the ABC gene family in two lampreys draft genomes found that the ABCA subfamily showed the highest gene expansion rate during chordate evolution and the ABCE and ABCF subfamilies were conserved and had undergone limited duplication and loss events.
Complex patterns of divergence among green-sensitive (RH2a) African cichlid opsins revealed by Clade model analyses
TL;DR: It is indicated that variation in selective constraint is associated with both gene duplication and divergence among orthologs in African cichlid RH2a opsins, and may reflect an adaptive response to differences in light environment.
