We are in a phase of unprecedented progress in identifying genetic loci that cause variation
in traits ranging from growth and fitness in simple organisms to disease in humans …

The cytokine storm has captured the attention of the public and the scientific community
alike, and while the general notion of an excessive or uncontrolled release of …

Genome-wide association studies have greatly improved our understanding of the genetic
basis of disease risk. The fact that they tend not to identify more than a fraction of the specific …

SARS-CoV is a pathogenic coronavirus that emerged from a zoonotic reservoir, leading to
global dissemination of the virus. The association SARS-CoV with aberrant cytokine …

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 …

Key message MAGIC populations present novel challenges and opportunities in crops due
to their complex pedigree structure. They offer great potential both for dissecting genomic …

Background This article describes the development of Multi-parent Advanced Generation

Abstract The Collaborative Cross (CC) is a multiparent panel of recombinant inbred (RI)
mouse strains derived from eight founder laboratory strains. RI panels are popular because …

Obesity is a major public health concern. This condition results from a constant and complex
interplay between predisposing genes and environmental stimuli. Current attempts to …
