Uncovering the genetic and evolutionary basis of local adaptation is a major focus of
evolutionary biology. The recent development of cost-effective methods for obtaining high …

Bulk segregation analysis (BSA) utilizes a strategy of pooling individuals with extreme
phenotypes to conduct economical and rapidly linked marker screening or quantitative trait …

The majority of agronomically important crop traits are quantitative, meaning that they are
controlled by multiple genes each with a small effect (quantitative trait loci, QTL s). Mapping …

Malaria parasites break down host haemoglobin into peptides and amino acids in the
digestive vacuole for export to the parasite cytoplasm for growth: interrupting this process is …

Next‐Generation Sequencing Bulk Segregant Analysis (NGS‐BSA) is efficient in detecting
quantitative trait loci (QTL). Despite the popularity of NGS‐BSA and the R statistical platform …

Biological assay has been based on analysis of all individuals collected from sample
populations. Bulked sample analysis (BSA), which works with selected and pooled …

The identification and isolation of genes underlying quantitative trait loci (QTLs) associated
with agronomic traits in crops have been recently accelerated thanks to next-generation …

The long-lasting success of forward genetic screens relies on the simple molecular basis of
the characterized phenotypes, which are typically caused by mutations in single genes …

The drivers and patterns of zoonotic virus emergence in the human population are poorly
understood. The mosquito Aedes aegypti is a major arbovirus vector native to Africa that …

Soil salinity is a major constraint to rice production in large inland and coastal areas around
the world. Modern high yielding rice varieties are particularly sensitive to high salt stress …
