High-throughput genotyping techniques have enabled large-scale genomic analysis to precisely predict complex traits in many plant species. However, not all species can be well represented in commercial SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism…
They are the most complex integumentary structures found in vertebrates [1 ] [2 ] and an example of a complex evolutionary novelty. [3 ] They are among the characteristics that distinguish the extant birds from other living groups. [4 ]
It is an archipelago situated in the North Atlantic Ocean, in the region of Macaronesia, just under 400 kilometres (250 mi) north of the Canary Islands, Spain, 520 kilometres (320 mi) west of Morocco and 805 kilometres (500 mi) southwest of…
In genetics and bioinformatics, a single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP / s n ɪ p/; plural SNPs / s n ɪ p s/) is a germline substitution of a single nucleotide at a specific position in the genome.
Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) is a pseudocereal celebrated for its excellent nutritional quality and potential to improve global food security, especial...

Present evidence is consistent with these predictions. Possible selective advantages and disadvantages of the different sex-determined mechanisms are discussed, and an attempt is made to deduce their ancestries.
Agronomically relevant traits are often genetically complex and typically controlled by multiple genes that interact. The Quantitative Genetics research group is exploring new approaches to elucidate the genetic architecture and predict…
