After publication of our article [1], we found a typo in the formula to build the genomic relationship matrix using allele frequencies across all genotyped pigs (matrix) and the genomic relationship matrix using breed-specific allele frequencies (matrix), and we noted that the description to this formula is not very clear.

Among all photosynthetic life forms, cyanobacteria exclusively possess a water-soluble, light-sensitive carotenoprotein complex known as orange carotenoid proteins (OCPs), crucial for their photoprotective mechanisms. These protein complexes exhibit both structural and functional modularity, with distinct C-terminal (CTD) and N-terminal domains (NTD) serving as light-responsive sensor and effector regions, respectively. The majority of cyanobacterial genomes contain genes for OCP homologs and related proteins, highlighting their essential role in survival of the organism over time.

Rice salt tolerance is highly anticipated to meet global demand in response to decreasing farmland and soil salinization. Therefore, dissecting the genetic loci controlling salt tolerance in rice for improving productivity is of utmost importance. Here, we evaluated six salt-tolerance-related traits of a biparental mapping population comprising 280 F2 rice individuals (Oryza sativa L.

This study aimed to investigate the association between the interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) gene polymorphism (rs2853550) and the risk of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in a sample of the Iraqi population. The study included 100 RA patients and 100 healthy controls. Demographic characteristics, including age and gender, were collected and compared between the two groups.

Background: Vulvodynia is a multifactorial disease affecting 7%-16% of reproductive-aged women in general population; however, little is still known about the genetics underlying this complex disease.

Aim: To compare polygenic risk scores for hormones and receptors levels in a case-control study to investigate their role in vulvodynia and their correlation with clinical phenotypes.

Methods: Our case-control study included patients with vestibulodynia (VBD) and healthy women.

Clinician perspectives on designing and implementing a hereditary cancer transition clinic.

Hered Cancer Clin Pract

January 2025

Department of Population Health Sciences, Geisinger, Danville, PA, 17822, USA.

Article Synopsis
  • Early identification of hereditary cancer predisposition in adolescents and young adults is crucial for targeted cancer prevention and improving survival rates, but this age group faces unique healthcare transition challenges.
  • The study aimed to gather expert insights on creating a transition clinic for this demographic, using qualitative methods inspired by human-centered design and implementation science.
  • Key findings emphasized the importance of relationship building, care coordination, education, effective communication among providers, and establishing a sustainable clinic model to enhance program implementation.
