This study used computer simulations to investigate how the number of alleles at loci affects the precision of estimates of four common genetic distances. This showed that equivalent results could ...

In most cases, there is not one single locus whose alleles determine how a trait is expressed. Let’s consider eye color – blue, green, brown and hazel eyes are each encoded by unique set of alleles in ...

If an individual inherits two identical alleles, their genotype is said to be homozygous at that locus. However, if they possess two different alleles, their genotype is classed as heterozygous for ...

The study sample for the analysis of the LEP locus alleles and BMI groups was n=166, due to missing data for those alleles in some of the 181 individuals. Stature was measured using a portable GPM ...

Allelon, one another; morphe, form). Now used for alternative forms at a genetic locus. Codominant alleles are particularly useful as genetic markers. Allopatric: having non-overlapping geographic ...

Among recipients who were homozygous at any HLA class I locus mismatched for two or three alleles, the proportions of graft failures were one of six and two of four, respectively. Among recipients ...

Significant excess sharing of marker alleles identical by descent (from the same ancestral chromosome) owing to cryptic relatedness (genetic relatedness among participants that was not known by ...

At the b1 locus, the paramutagenic allele ... the progeny get both alleles. However, the paramutagenic allele silences the wild-type allele and produces a plant with stippled rather than purple ...

The numerical and letter notation refers to the locus and chromosomal arm position ... If this rise is faster than recombination can destroy genetic associations, other alleles in nearby regions can ...
