The haplotype block structure of beef and dairy breeds of cattle are unexpectedly similar and estimates of effective population sizes reflect ancient cattle domestication and more recent population bottlenecks.
BMC Genetics 2009, 10 :15
The generation of the first copy number variation (CNV) map in African Americans identified 1362 CNVs, two of which displayed a marked difference in frequency compared to White Americans.
BMC Genetics 2009, 10 :4
Wild rats from areas exposed to warfarin carry new polymorphisms that modify function in VKORC1, the coagulation enzyme targeted by the poison, confirming that VKORC1 gene evolution is still the key to resistance.
