Evolutionary Relationships through Genome Comparisons02:54

Evolutionary Relationships through Genome Comparisons

5.7K
Genome comparison is one of the excellent ways to interpret the evolutionary relationships between organisms. The basic principle of genome comparison is that if two species share a common feature, it is likely encoded by the DNA sequence conserved between both species. The advent of genome sequencing technologies in the late 20th century enabled scientists to understand the concept of conservation of domains between species and helped them to deduce evolutionary relationships across diverse...

Genetic Screens02:46

Genetic Screens

5.0K
Genetic screens are tools used to identify genes and mutations responsible for phenotypes of interest. Genetic screens help identify individuals or a group of people at risk of developing  genetic diseases and help them with early intervention, targeted therapy, and reproductive options.
Forward genetic screens
Forward or “classical” genetic screens involve creating random mutations in an organism’s DNA using radiation, mutagens, or insertion of additional bases, which...

Plant Breeding and Biotechnology

Crop cultivation has a long history in human civilization, with records showing the cultivation of cereal plants beginning at around 8000 BC. This early plant breeding was developed primarily to provide a steady supply of food.

Gene Evolution - Fast or Slow?

7.1K
The genomes of eukaryotes are punctuated by long stretches of sequence which do not code for proteins or RNAs. Although some of these regions do contain crucial regulatory sequences, the vast majority of this DNA serves no known function. Typically, these regions of the genome are the ones in which the fastest change, in evolutionary terms, is observed, because there is typically little to no selection pressure acting on these regions to preserve their sequences.
In contrast, regions which code...

Survival Tree01:19

Survival Tree

87
Survival trees are a non-parametric method used in survival analysis to model the relationship between a set of covariates and the time until an event of interest occurs, often referred to as the "time-to-event" or "survival time." This method is particularly useful when dealing with censored data, where the event has not occurred for some individuals by the end of the study period, or when the exact time of the event is unknown.

Area of Science:

  • Forest genetics and breeding
  • Quantitative genetics
  • Genomic selection

Background:

  • Traditional tree breeding relies on recurrent selection with repeated cycles of selection, mating, and testing.
  • Existing methods are slow and have limitations in addressing environmental changes and concerns.
  • Accelerating tree improvement is crucial for forestry and climate change adaptation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a novel "end-to-end" selective tree breeding framework.
  • To enhance the efficiency and speed of tree breeding programs.
  • To address climate-change related stresses in tree species.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS)-based sequence data for trait architecture.
  • Employed high-resolution genealogical relationship analysis.
  • Eliminated the traditional breeding phase by using wind-pollinated (OP) families and implemented optimum contribution selection.

Main Results:

  • Demonstrated superior performance in capturing genetic gains compared to traditional methods.
  • Achieved significant reductions in the breeding timeline.
  • Successfully managed genetic gain and co-ancestry trade-offs using multi-trait, multi-site analysis.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed framework substantially increases the efficiency of selective tree breeding.
  • It accelerates the development of new programs for important tree species.
  • The method offers a powerful tool to address climate change impacts on trees.
