Amino acid polymorphisms in strictly conserved domains of a P-type ATPase HMA5 are involved in the mechanism of copper tolerance variation in Arabidopsis
Download2008
Kimura, K., Southron-Francis, J. L., Iuchi, S., Furuzawa, A., Taylor, G. J., Kobayashi, Y., Koyama, H., Kobayashi, M., Kuroda, K.
Copper (Cu) is an essential element in plant nutrition, but it inhibits the growth of roots at low concentrations. Accessions of Arabidopsis ( Arabidopsis thaliana) vary in their tolerance to Cu. To understand the molecular mechanism of Cu tolerance in Arabidopsis, we performed quantitative trait...

Amplified mitochondrial DNA as a diagnostic marker for species of conifer-feeding Choristoneura (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae)
Download1995
Hickey, D. A., Sperling, F. A. H.
Abstract: We describe a method for identifying conifer-feeding species and lineages of Choristoneura Lederer in Canada and Alaska. The method relies on amplification of mitochondrial (mt) DNA by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR); amplified DNA is then digested with restriction enzymes to give...

Common Low-Density Lipoprotein Receptor p.G116S Variant Has a Large Effect on Plasma Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol in Circumpolar Inuit Populations
Download2014-11-20
Dubé, Joseph B., Wang, Jian, Cao, Henian, McIntyre, Adam D., Johansen, Christopher T., Hopkins, Scarlett E., Stringer, Randa, Hosseinzadeh, Siyavash, Kennedy, Brooke A., Ban, Matthew R., Young, T. Kue, Connelly, Philip W., Dewailly, Eric, Bjerregaard, Peter, Boyer, Bert B., Hegele, Robert A.
"Background: Inuit are considered to be vulnerable to cardiovascular disease because their lifestyles are becoming more Westernized. During sequence analysis of Inuit individuals at extremes of lipid traits, we identified 2 nonsynonymous variants in low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR), namely...

Density-dependent variation in lifetime breeding success and natural and sexual selection in Soay rams
Download1999
Smith, J.A., Bancroft, D.R., Clutton-Brock, T.H., MacColl, A.D., Pilkington, J., Coltman, D.W., Pemberton, J.M.
Variation in male lifetime breeding success (LBS) is central to understanding selection, yet it has rarely been measured in natural populations of large mammals. Here, we first describe variation in the opportunity for selection in cohorts of Soay rams (Ovis aries) on the archipelago of St....

Depauperate genetic variability detected in the American and European bison using genomic techniques
Download2009
Tokarska, M., Demontis, D., Wójcik, J.M., Gregersen, V.R., Loeschcke, V., Pertoldi, C., Coltman, D.
A total of 929 polymorphic SNPs in EB (out of 54, 000 SNPs screened using a BovineSNP50 Illumina Genotyping BeadChip), and 1, 524 and 1, 403 polymorphic SNPs in WB and PB, respectively, were analysed. EB, WB and PB have all undergone recent drastic reductions in population size. Accordingly, they...
