Population Genetics of Plasmodium vivax in the Peruvian Amazon
(Public Library of Science, 2016)
BACKGROUND: Characterizing the parasite dynamics and population structure provides useful information to understand the dynamic of transmission and to better target control interventions. Despite considerable efforts for ...
Novel genetic loci affecting facial shape variation in humans.
(eLife Sciences Publications, 2019)
The human face represents a combined set of highly heritable phenotypes, but knowledge on its genetic architecture remains limited, despite the relevance for various fields. A series of genome-wide association studies on ...
Multiple independent introductions of Plasmodium falciparum in South America
(National Academy of Sciences, 2012)
The origin of Plasmodium falciparum in South America is controversial. Some studies suggest a recent introduction during the European colonizations and the transatlantic slave trade. Other evidence - archeological and ...
A genome-wide association scan implicates DCHS2, RUNX2, GLI3, PAX1 and EDAR in human facial variation
(Springer Nature, 2016)
We report a genome-wide association scan for facial features in approximately 6,000 Latin Americans. We evaluated 14 traits on an ordinal scale and found significant association (P values<5 x 10(-8)) at single-nucleotide ...
Genetic structure and domestication of carrot (Daucus carota subsp. sativus) (Apiaceae)
(2013-05)
• Premise of the study: Analyses of genetic structure and phylogenetic relationships illuminate the origin and domestication of modern crops. Despite being an important worldwide vegetable, the genetic structure and ...
Genetic diversity of VAR2CSA ID1-DBL2Xb in worldwide Plasmodium falciparum populations: impact on vaccine design for placental malaria
(Elsevier, 2014)
In placental malaria (PM), sequestration of infected erythrocytes in the placenta is mediated by an interaction between VAR2CSA, a Plasmodium falciparum protein expressed on erythrocytes, and chondroitin sulfate A (CSA) ...
Genetic diversity of GH1 and LEP genes in Argentine llama [Lama glama] populations
(2014)
Compared to other domestic species, little is known about variability of genes related to energetic metabolism and growth in camelids. Here, we have analyzed leptin (LEP) and growth hormone (GH1) genes and characterized ...
Ecology and genetic variation of Amblyomma tonelliae in Argentina
(2015-09)
The ecology of Amblyomma tonelliae (Ixodida: Ixodidae), including its seasonal distribution and the development periods of each stage, was investigated during a study carried out over two consecutive years in northwestern ...
Reproductive ecology and genetic variability in natural populations of the wild potato, Solanum kurtzianum
(Wiley, 2014-03)
The cultivated potato (Solanum tuberosum ssp. tuberosum) has more than 200 related
wild species distributed along the Andes, adapted to a wide range of geographical and
ecological areas. Since the last century, several ...
Genetic variation in color morphs of the endangered species, Paracentrotus gaimardi (Echinoidea: Echinidae)
(Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso, 2017)
