A complex segregation analysis of acid phosphatase activity in 50 British families showed that the essential features of the acid phosphatase polymorphism, i.e., a major gene with three alleles, is retrieved by using the biallelic mixed model. The estimates of gene frequency and displacement obtained from segregation analysis were in agreement with those obtained from electrophoretic studies. In addition, there was evidence for a multifactorial component.

Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill] is one of the most widely grown legumes in the world, with Brazil being its largest producer and exporter. Breeding programs in Brazil have resulted from multiple cycles of selection and recombination starting from a small number of USA cultivar ancestors in the 1950s and 1960s years.

Forward genetic screens of mutant populations are fundamental for functional genomics studies. However, isolating independent mutant alleles to molecularly identify causal genes is challenging in species recalcitrant to genetic manipulation. Here, we demonstrate that classic seed EMS mutagenesis coupled with genome sequencing can overcome this limitation in sorghum.

Aims: Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is a common valvular disorder associated with significant morbidity and mortality, with a strong genetic basis. This study aimed to identify a mutation in a family with MVP and to characterize the valve phenotype in LTBP2 knockout (KO) mice.
Methods And Results: Exome sequencing and segregation analysis were performed on a large family with MVP.

Lager beer is traditionally fermented using Saccharomyces pastorianus. However, the limited availability of lager yeast strains restricts the potential range of beer profiles. Recently, Saccharomyces eubayanus strains showed the potential to impart novel aromas to beer, with slower fermentation rates than commercial strains.

Introduction: To improve surgical quality and safety, health systems must prioritise equitable care for surgical patients. Racialised patients experience worse postoperative outcomes when compared with non-racialised surgical patients in settler colonial nation-states. Identifying preventable adverse outcomes for equity-deserving patient populations is an important starting point to begin to address these gaps in care.
