Catch Me if You Can: Adaptation from Standing Genetic Variation to a Moving Phenotypic Optimum

Sebastian Matuszewski

Adaptation lies at the heart of Darwinian evolution. Accordingly, numerous studies have tried to provide a formal framework for the description of the adaptive process. Of these, two complementary modeling approaches have emerged: While so-called adaptive- ...

Regulation of the mRNA silencing activity of Bicaudal-C

Florian Urs Bernet

Cilia dysfunction is a common factor underlying left-right axis malformation and the pathogenesis of virtually all known renal cystic diseases. Mutations in the RNA-binding protein Bicaudal-C (Bicc1) provoke cystic kidneys reminiscent of polycystic kidney ...

Defining the role of common variation in the genomic and biological architecture of adult human height

Paul Jack Mc Laren, Jiancheng Yang, Murielle Bochud, Jian Yang

Using genome-wide data from 253,288 individuals, we identified 697 variants at genome-wide significance that together explained one-fifth of the heritability for adult height. By testing different numbers of variants in independent studies, we show that th ...

Natural variation in genome architecture among 205 Drosophila melanogaster Genetic Reference Panel lines

Bart Deplancke, Andreas Massouras

The Drosophila melanogaster Genetic Reference Panel (DGRP) is a community resource of 205 sequenced inbred lines, derived to improve our understanding of the effects of naturally occurring genetic variation on molecular and organismal phenotypes. We used a ...

A Systems Approach to Identify Genetic and Environmental Regulators of Metabolism

Evan Graehl Williams

For more than a century, it has been recognized that our genetic inheritance and our environment interact to shape who we are and how we act (nature vs. nurture ), and the study of genetics has allowed us to explain why traits can vary dramatically betwee ...

Complement Factor B Polymorphism and the Phenotype of Early Age-related Macular Degeneration

Purpose: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) has been associated with a number of polymorphisms in genes in the complement pathway. We examined the potential genotype-phenotype correlation of complement factor B (CFB) (R32Q) polymorphisms in Caucasian p ...

A genome-wide association study of resistance to HIV infection in highly exposed uninfected individuals with hemophilia A

Jacques Fellay, Paul Jack Mc Laren

Human genetic variation contributes to differences in susceptibility to HIV-1 infection. To search for novel host resistance factors, we performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) in hemophilia patients highly exposed to potentially contaminated fact ...

dRYBP Contributes to the Negative Regulation of the Drosophila Imd Pathway

Bruno Lemaitre, Claudine Danielle Patricia Öngen

The Drosophila humoral innate immune response fights infection by producing antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) through the microbe-specific activation of the Toll or the Imd signaling pathway. Upon systemic infection, the production of AMPs is both positively a ...
