Evolutionary Relationships through Genome Comparisons02:54

Evolutionary Relationships through Genome Comparisons

6.8K
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...

Mutation, Gene Flow, and Genetic Drift01:09

Mutation, Gene Flow, and Genetic Drift

61.7K
In a population that is not at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the frequency of alleles changes over time. Therefore, any deviations from the five conditions of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium can alter the genetic variation of a given population. Conditions that change the genetic variability of a population include mutations, natural selection, non-random mating, gene flow, and genetic drift (small population size).

Genetic Screens02:46

Genetic Screens

5.6K
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

21.4K
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.

Genetic Drift03:33

Genetic Drift

42.9K
Natural selection—probably the most well-known evolutionary mechanism—increases the prevalence of traits that enhance survival and reproduction. However, evolution does not merely propagate favorable traits, nor does it always benefit populations.

Behavioral Genetics and Its Designs01:23

Behavioral Genetics and Its Designs

994
Behavior genetics explores how genetic inheritance influences human behavior. It focuses on how genes, passed from parents to offspring, contribute to the development of behavioral traits and tendencies. This branch of genetics seeks to understand the complex interplay between inherited genetic factors and environmental influences in shaping our behaviors.
The primary methodologies used in behavior genetics include family studies, twin studies, and adoption studies, each providing unique...

  • Animal breeding and genetics
  • Climate change adaptation
  • Quantitative genetics

Background:

  • Rising global temperatures and environmental variability challenge domestic species' adaptive capacity and production efficiency.
  • Genotype-by-environment (GxE) interactions complicate breeding programs, where traits optimal in one environment may fail in another.
  • Balancing long-term resilience with short-term productivity is a key challenge in selective breeding.

  • To discuss the utility of Genomic Offsets in agriculture and aquaculture for risk assessment, selective breeding, and cryopreservation.
  • To propose an Adaptive Breeding Framework utilizing Genomic Offsets to enhance farmed population resilience.

Main Methods:

  • Review and conceptualization of Genomic Offsets as a predictive tool for GxE interactions.
  • Discussion of practical considerations including data requirements and methodological frameworks for Genomic Offsets.
  • Exploration of validation needs for Genomic Offsets in breeding programs.

Main Results:

  • Genomic Offsets can quantify the mismatch between current and future genotype-environment associations.
  • This metric offers a promising solution to overcome challenges posed by GxE interactions in breeding.
  • Potential applications include risk assessment, guiding selective breeding, and informing cryopreservation strategies.
