Hybrid sterility between and is a main reproduction barrier when transferring the favorable alleles from to and it happens due to allelic interaction at sterility loci. Neutral alleles at each locus have the potential to overcome the sterility between the two cultivated rice species. In this study, an cultivar Dianjingyou 1 (DJY1) and its near-isogenic lines (NILs) harboring the single sterility allele -glab, -glab, -glab, -glab, -glab and -glab as the tested lines were crossed with , , , , , and so as to detect the neutral alleles of these loci. Pollen fertility was investigated in the paired Fs based on two seasons' result and genotypic segregation was also analyzed in some F populations to confirm the results of pollen fertility investigation. The neutral alleles of -n and -n were identified based upon the pollen fertility and genotypic segregation analysis for the first time. The neutral alleles of sterility loci detected from present report have the potential to know of the nature of interspecific hybrid sterility, and to overcome the interspecific hybrid sterility between and .

Ibiza (Eivissa) is one of the main Balearic Islands in the western Mediterranean. Recent studies have highlighted the genetic distinctiveness of present-day Eivissans within the region and suggested it could be attributed to the genetic drift caused by recent demographic events. Whether this distinctiveness emerged from a differential demographic history, or rather from a bias for sampling in a small geographic region such as Eivissa, remains an open question, together with the understanding of the functional consequences of demography in the island.

Genetic diversity can influence fitness components such as survival and reproductive success. Yet the association between genetic diversity and fitness based on neutral loci is sometime very weak and inconsistent, with relationships varying among taxa due to confounding effects of population demography and life history. Fitness-diversity relationships are likely to be stronger and more consistent for genes known to influence phenotypic traits, such as immunity-related genes, and may also depend on the genetic differences between breeding partners.

Background: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is a global epidemic. MASLD has a strong genetic component, and a common missense variant (rs2642438) in the mitochondrial amidoxime-reducing component 1 (MARC1) gene confers protection against its onset and severity. However, there are contrasting results regarding the mechanisms entangling this protection.

For many problems in population genetics, it is useful to characterize the distribution of fitness effects (DFE) of de novo mutations among a certain class of sites. A DFE is typically estimated by fitting an observed site frequency spectrum (SFS) to an expected SFS given a hypothesized distribution of selection coefficients and demographic history. The development of tools to infer gene trees from haplotype alignments, along with ancient DNA resources, provides us with additional information about the frequency trajectories of segregating mutations.

The blue whale is an endangered and globally distributed species of baleen whale with multiple described subspecies, including the morphologically and genetically distinct pygmy blue whale. North Atlantic and North Pacific populations, however, are currently regarded as a single subspecies despite being separated by continental land masses and acoustic call differences. To determine the degree of isolation among the Northern Hemisphere populations, 14 North Pacific and 6 Western Australian blue whale nuclear and mitochondrial genomes were sequenced and analysed together with 11 publicly available North Atlantic blue whale genomes.
