Climate clever clovers: New paradigm to reduce the environmental footprint of ruminants by breeding low methanogenic forages utilizing haplotype variation by Kaur, P., Appels, R., Bayer, P., Keeble-Gagnere, G., Wang, J., Hirakawa, H., Shirasawa, K., Vercoe, P., Stefanova, Katia, Durmic, Z., Nichols, P., Revell, C., Isobe, S., Edwards, D., Erskine, W.

“…Significantly, the discovery of a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) on Chr 5 in a defined haplotype block with an upstream putative candidate gene from a plant peroxidase-like superfamily (TSub_g18548) and a downstream lectin receptor protein kinase (TSub_g18549) provides valuable candidates for an assay for this complex trait. In this way haplotype variation can be tracked to breed pastures with reduced methanogenic potential. …”

Revealing the genetic structure of a trait by sequencing a population under selection by Parts, Leopold, Cubillos, Francisco A., Warringer, Jonas, Jain, Kanika, Salinas, Francisco, Bumpstead, Suzannah J., Molin, Mikael, Zia, Amin, Simpson, Jared T., Quail, Michael A., Moses, Alan, Louis, Edward J., Durbin, Richard, Liti, Gianni

“…Furthermore, we were able to detect the same set of trait loci in a population of diploid individuals with similar power and resolution, and observed primarily additive effects, similar to what is seen for complex trait genetics in other diploid organisms such as humans.…”

Molecular prioritization strategies to identify functional genetic variants in the cardiovascular disease-associated expression QTL Vanin-1 by Kaskow, B., Diepeveen, L., Michael Proffitt, J., Rea, A., Ulgiati, D., Blangero, J., Moses, Eric, Abraham, L.

“…There is now good evidence that non-coding sequence variants are involved in the heritability of many common complex traits. The current 'gold standard' approach for assessing functionality is the in vitro reporter gene assay to assess allelic differences in transcriptional activity, usually followed by electrophoretic mobility shift assays to assess allelic differences in transcription factor binding. …”

Gene-associated single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in cinnamate 4-hydroxylase (C4H) and cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase (CAD) genes from acacia mangium superbulk trees* by Pang Shek, Shek Ling, Ismail, Jusoh, Tchin Boon, Ling, Ho Wei, Wei Seng

“…Candidate-gene-based association study which involves the identification of causative Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) for excellent traits has been proposed as a promising approach to dissect complex traits in forest trees. Hence, the goal of this study was to identify the genetic association among SNPs from Cinnamate 4-Hydroxylase (C4H) and Cinnamyl Alcohol Dehydrogenase (CAD) genes and an array of wood properties namely, specific gravity, wood density, fiber-length, cell wall thickness and microfibril angle from Acacia mangium Superbulk trees. …”
