We analyzed the effect of a single nucleotide polymorphism, g. C3141T in the 3' UTR of Signal transducer and activator of transcription-1 gene () on milk production traits in the Holstein Friesian crossbred cattle of Kerala (n = 144) by association analysis and expression study. The population was genotyped by restriction fragment length polymorphism using 1. Association study using the General Linear Model-Analysis of Variance revealed that none of the yield or composition traits analyzed were significantly differed. The expression profile of gene in leucocytes of animals bearing homozygous genotypes was compared by quantitative real time PCR using SYBR green chemistry with and relative expression was not found to be significantly differed. The second stage of the study, the mRNA spanning 3213 bp was amplified from leucocytes and sequenced (GenBank: MT459802.1). Two novel SNPs were identified; one synonymous mutation in the coding region (g.A1212G) and the other in the 3'UTR (g.T3042C). The novel SNPs might contribute to gene regulation mediated by alternate spicing or binding sites for regulatory molecules. The results reiterate the importance of extensive studies of gene variants to substantiate the presence of a quantitative trait loci for dairy traits in the vicinity of gene.

Background: Future breeding and selection of Cannabis sativa L. for both drug production and industrial purposes require a source of germplasm with wide genetic variation, such as that found in wild relatives and progenitors of highly cultivated plants. Limited directional selection and breeding have occurred in this crop, especially informed by molecular markers.

High-resolution insights into the nucleotide arrangement within an organism's genome are pivotal for deciphering its genetic composition, function, and evolutionary trajectory. Over the years, nucleic acid sequencing has been instrumental in driving significant advancements in genomics and molecular biology. The advent of high-throughput or next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies has revolutionized whole genome sequencing, revealing novel and intriguing features of genomes, such as single nucleotide polymorphisms and lethal mutations in both coding and non-coding regions.

Brain imaging genetics aims to explore the association between genetic factors such as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and brain imaging quantitative traits (QTs). However, most existing methods do not consider the nonlinear correlations between genotypic and phenotypic data, as well as potential higher-order relationships among subjects when identifying bi-multivariate associations. In this paper, a novel method called deep hyper-Laplacian regularized self-representation learning based structured association analysis (DHRSAA) is proposed which can learn genotype-phenotype associations and obtain relevant biomarkers.

Since its outbreak, the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has significantly impacted the pediatric population. Pulmonary surfactant dysfunction has been linked to other respiratory diseases in children and COVID-19 in adults, but its role in COVID-19 severity remains unclear. We hypothesized that elevated surfactant protein (SP) levels and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of SP genes are associated with severe COVID-19 in children.

The location of a patient's colorectal cancer (CRC) influences their outcome but inherited factors may also be involved. We studied 1899 patients with advanced CRC (514 had proximal colonic, 493 distal colonic and 892 rectal tumours) and carried out genome-wide association studies for survival. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) suggestive of association (P < 1.
