Chromosomal Numerical Aberrations and Rare Copy Number Variation in Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease.

Background And Aims: Inflammatory bowel diseases [IBD] have a complex polygenic aetiology. Rare genetic variants can cause monogenic intestinal inflammation. The impact of chromosomal aberrations and large structural abnormalities on IBD susceptibility is not clear.

Assessing diversity in canopy architecture, photosynthesis, and water-use efficiency in a cowpea magic population.

Optimizing crops to improve light absorption and CO assimilation throughout the canopy is a proposed strategy to increase yield and meet the needs of a growing population by 2050. Globally, the greatest population increase is expected to occur in Sub-Saharan Africa where large yield gaps currently persist; therefore, it is crucial to develop high-yielding crops adapted to this region. In this study, we screened 50 cowpea ( (L.
