A new #OpenBiology review investigates the interaction of genetic and environmental risk factors in the aetiology of keratoconus, a multifactorial corneal ectasia disorder: doi.org/10.1098/rsob... #CellBio #genetics

(2) EN: 3) ~70% of CF alleles carry a three-base deletion (F508del), with the remaining cases caused by many rarer variants. Together, these findings launched molecular diagnosis and research in CF.

🧬 @balciunaslab.bsky.social generated and validated a strong ubiquitous Cre-driver line that enables highly efficient 4-HT-inducible recombination at all tested stages of #zebrafish ontogenesis.

Curious how this line works?

Five thousand years ago, a dog was laid to rest beside a human at Real Alto, Ecuador. No wounds, no butchering — just a bond strong enough to cross millennia. Today, this ancient companion still watches us from the distant past.

🌾 🧬 A new genomic framework published in the September issue of #GENETICS combines multi-environment yield trials with whole-genome resequencing to evaluate how environmental conditions shape genetic responses for yield and other important traits in #breeding.
