Using a database of worldwide populations, the investigators developed a dataset of reference populations that are genetically diverse and have been geographically localized for centuries. (sciencedaily.com)
Applied to large multi-omics datasets from the BXD mouse genetic reference population, novel associations between genes and clinical and molecular phenotypes, and regulatory relations between genes could be identified. (systems-genetics.org)
Their research compared populations of largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) taken from unexploited reference populations in the state of Connecticut and compared their resting metabolic rates (RMR) with populations taken from popular inland recreational fisheries. (sciencedaily.com)
