AI Article Synopsis
- The maize Nested Association Mapping (NAM) population has been a key resource for genetic research over the past decade, significantly improving our understanding of complex traits.
- The parental lines of this population have been thoroughly analyzed, with their new genome assemblies now accessible to the public.
- This retrospective will explore the creation and goals of the NAM population, its discoveries, impact on other research areas, and potential future relevance in the evolving field of genomics.
Article Abstract
It has been just over a decade since the release of the maize () Nested Association Mapping (NAM) population. The NAM population has been and continues to be an invaluable resource for the maize genetics community and has yielded insights into the genetic architecture of complex traits. The parental lines have become some of the most well-characterized maize germplasm, and their de novo assemblies were recently made publicly available. As we enter an exciting new stage in maize genomics, this retrospective will summarize the design and intentions behind the NAM population; its application, the discoveries it has enabled, and its influence in other systems; and use the past decade of hindsight to consider whether and how it will remain useful in a new age of genomics.

University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA, USA.
Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD), characterized by significant brain volume reduction, is influenced by genetic predispositions related to brain volumetric phenotypes. While genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have linked brain imaging-derived phenotypes (IDPs) with AD, existing polygenic risk scores (PRSs) based models inadequately capture this relationship. We develop BrainNetScore, a network-based model enhancing AD risk prediction by integrating genetic associations between multiple brain IDPs and AD incidence.

Background: We previously identified a 44-base pair deletion in (ATP-binding cassette sub-family A member 7) (ABCA7) that is significantly associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD) in African Americans (AA), producing a frameshift mutation resulting in a truncated protein (p.Arg578Alafs). ABCA7 is a lipid transporter across cellular membranes.

Rice fields are important wildlife habitats; however, intensive agricultural practices have reduced the population of farmland birds. As a high-level consumer, the great egret (Ardea alba) serves as an indicator of the overall biodiversity of rice fields. However, little is known about the effects of farming methods on the feeding habitat selection of the great egret.

Aims: The Faroe Islands is a small homogenous archipelago located in the North Atlantic Ocean with no prior study of violence among adults. In an adult population-based sample, we studied physical, sexual and emotional violence and health and socio-economic determinants.
Methods: A population-based cross-sectional survey conducted between November 2020 and February 2021 was based on a newly initiated questionnaire that included 1068 randomly selected individuals aged 18-75.

Department of Physiology, Faculty of Medicine, Can Tho University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Can Tho 900000, Viet Nam.
Background: Aging population is a significant issue in Viet Nam and across the globe. Elderly individuals are at higher risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD), especially those with diabetes. Several studies found that the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) determined using creatinine-based equations was not as accurate as that determined using cystatin C-based equations.
