Universality and predictability in molecular quantitative genetics.
Molecular traits, such as gene expression levels or protein binding affinities, are increasingly accessible to quantitative measurement by modern high-throughput techniques. Such traits measure molecular functions and, from an evolutionary point of view, are important as targets of natural selection. We review recent developments in evolutionary theory and experiments that are expected to becom...
متن کاملPneumoviruses: Molecular Genetics and Reverse Genetics
Pneumoviruses are responsible for significant respiratory disease in their hosts and represent a major problemfor human and animal health. Pneumoviruses are members of the family Paramyxoviridae, subfamilyPneumovirinae and the virus particles consist of a negative-sense, nonsegmented RNA genome within a helical nucleocapsid structure enveloped in a lipid membrane derived from the ho...
متن کاملMolecular Genetics and Epidemiology of Vitiligo
Background: Vitiligo is an acquired, idiopathic, and common depigmentation disorder of the skin that affects people of all ages and both sexes equally in the worldwide. Although etiology of the disease is unknown, there are theories such as environment and genetic factors. Methods: In this article, we collected and summarized the appropriate manuscripts regarding the epidemiology and gene...
متن کاملMolecular and Quantitative Genetics: A Useful Flirtation
Excepting the exact mathematical definition of the infinitesimal model, existing quantitative and population genetic theory is consistent with the existence of segregating quantitative trait loci (QTL) of detectable size in populations long subjected to artificial selection. Evidence is accumulating in livestock, particularly in plants, that a proportion of QTL detected using reasonably stringe...
متن کاملHearing loss: A review on molecular genetics and epidemiologic aspects
Background and aims: Hearing loss (HL) happens due to the genetic or environmental causes or both. Risk factors include congenital infections and congenital deformities of auricle and ear duct. The present study was performed to briefly explain the genetics, molecular biology and epidemiology of HL in Middle East especially in Iran. Methods: An intense an...
