Genetic Influences on Brain Gene Expression in Rats Selected for Tameness and Aggression
Henrike O. Heyne, Susann Lautenschläger, Ronald Nelson +12
Inter-individual differences in many behaviors are partly due to genetic differences, but the identification of the genes and variants that influence behavior remains challenging.…
Genetic influences on translation in yeast
Frank W. Albert, Dale Muzzey, Jonathan Weissman +1
Heritable differences in gene expression between individuals are an important source of phenotypic variation. The question of how closely the effects of genetic variation on protei…
Genetics of single-cell protein abundance variation in large yeast populations
Frank W. Albert, Sebastian Treusch, Arthur H. Shockley +2
Many DNA sequence variants influence phenotypes by altering gene expression. Our understanding of these variants is limited by sample sizes of current studies and by measurements o…
Finding the sources of missing heritability in a yeast cross
Joshua S. Bloom, Ian M. Ehrenreich, Wesley Loo +2
For many traits, including susceptibility to common diseases in humans, causal loci uncovered by genetic mapping studies explain only a minority of the heritable contribution to tr…
Absence of arsenate in DNA from arsenate-grown GFAJ-1 cells
M. L. Reaves, S. Sinha, J. D. Rabinowitz +2
A strain of Halomonas bacteria, GFAJ-1, has been reported to be able to use arsenate as a nutrient when phosphate is limiting, and to specifically incorporate arsenic into its DNA…
