- 1From: PLoS Genetics. (Vol. 7, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedIn insects and other animals, intraspecific communication between individuals of the opposite sex is mediated in part by chemical signals called sex pheromones. In most moth species, male moths rely heavily on...
- 2From: PLoS Genetics. (Vol. 7, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedThe molecular nature of biological variation is not well understood. Indeed, many questions persist regarding the types of molecular changes and the classes of genes that underlie morphological variation within and...
- 3From: PLoS Genetics. (Vol. 7, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedSystemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a complex autoimmune disease with a strong genetic predisposition, characterized by an upregulated type I interferon pathway. MicroRNAs are important regulators of immune...
- 4From: PLoS Genetics. (Vol. 7, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedGenealogical patterns in different genomic regions may be different due to the joint influence of gene flow and selection. The existence of two subspecies of cultivated rice provides a unique opportunity for...
- 5From: PLoS Genetics. (Vol. 7, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedIntroduction In a series of publications, I and my colleagues have developed hypotheses for how the evolution of various aspects of genome architecture is expected to proceed under conditions in which the forces of...
- 6From: PLoS Genetics. (Vol. 7, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedTransportin-SR (TRN-SR) is a member of the importin-[beta] super-family that functions as the nuclear import receptor for serine-arginine rich (SR) proteins, which play diverse roles in RNA metabolism. Here we report...
- 7From: PLoS Genetics. (Vol. 7, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedIt is widely believed that chromatin in embryonic stem (ES) cells exists in a unique "open" conformation, characterized by sparse, disorganized heterochromatin and prevalent global transcription. Upon differentiation,...
- 8From: PLoS Genetics. (Vol. 7, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedMultigenic traits are very common in plants and cause diversity. Nutritional quality is such a trait, and one of its factors is the composition and relative expression of storage protein genes. In maize, they represent...
- 9From: PLoS Genetics. (Vol. 7, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedAlthough the causes of Parkinson's disease (PD) are thought to be primarily environmental, recent studies suggest that a number of genes influence susceptibility. Using targeted case recruitment and online survey...
- 10From: PLoS Genetics. (Vol. 7, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedNonhomologous end-joining (NHEJ) is the primary DNA repair pathway thought to underlie chromosomal translocations and other genomic rearrangements in somatic cells. The canonical NHEJ pathway, including DNA ligase IV...
- 11From: PLoS Genetics. (Vol. 7, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedThe mechanisms that cells use to monitor telomere integrity, and the array of responses that may be induced, are not fully defined. To date there have been no studies in animals describing the ability of cells to...
- 12From: PLoS Genetics. (Vol. 7, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedChromosomal deletions or reciprocal duplications of the 16p13.1 region have been implicated in a variety of neuropsychiatric disorders such as autism, schizophrenia, epilepsies, and attention-deficit hyperactivity...
- 13From: PLoS Genetics. (Vol. 7, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedGenome-wide association studies (GWAS) have become increasingly common due to advances in technology and have permitted the identification of differences in single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) alleles that are...
- 14From: PLoS Genetics. (Vol. 7, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedThe plant-pathogenic fungus Mycosphaerella graminicola (asexual stage: Septoria tritici) causes septoria tritici blotch, a disease that greatly reduces the yield and quality of wheat. This disease is economically...
- 15From: PLoS Genetics. (Vol. 7, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedThe rate of meiotic recombination varies markedly between species and among individuals. Classical genetic experiments demonstrated a heritable component to population variation in recombination rate, and specific...
- 16From: PLoS Genetics. (Vol. 7, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedThe sense of taste is fundamental to our ability to ingest nutritious substances and to detect and avoid potentially toxic ones. Sensory taste buds are housed in papillae that develop from epithelial placodes. Three...
- 17From: PLoS Genetics. (Vol. 7, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedGenomic imprinting is an epigenetic phenomenon leading to parent-of-origin specific differential expression of maternally and paternally inherited alleles. In plants, genomic imprinting has mainly been observed in the...
- 18From: PLoS Genetics. (Vol. 7, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedPeptidylarginine deiminase IV (PADI4) catalyzes the conversion of positively charged arginine and methylarginine residues to neutrally charged citrulline, and this activity has been linked to the repression of a limited...
- 19From: PLoS Genetics. (Vol. 7, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedThe sirtuin Sirt6 is a NAD-dependent histone deacetylase that is implicated in gene regulation and lifespan control. Sirt6 can interact with the stress-responsive transcription factor NF-[kappa]B and regulate some...
- 20From: PLoS Genetics. (Vol. 7, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedFor the past five years, genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified hundreds of common variants associated with human diseases and traits, including high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low-density...
