The Lutheran and secretor loci: genetic linkage analysis
American Journal of Human Genetics
|January 1, 1977
Abstract:
Linkage analysis of Lu and Se and 31 other loci indicate that Lu:Se are not closely linked to ABO, ACP1, Co, Do, Est.D,Fy, GC, Gm, GLO:HLA, GPT, Inv, Jk,K,MN,P,PGD,PGM1, Rh,Sc, UMPK OR Yt. Lod scores for 18 families informative for Lu:Se gave no evidence for sex differentiation in recombination fraction: theta for males was 0.07, and for females, .08.

Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS
Genome-wide association studies or GWAS are used to identify whether common SNPs are associated with certain diseases. Suppose specific SNPs are more frequently observed in individuals with a particular disease than those without the disease. In that case, those SNPs are said to be associated with the disease. Chi-square analysis is performed to check the probability of the allele likely to be associated with the disease.

Modern Molecular Taxonomy
Advancements in molecular biology have revolutionized the identification and characterization of bacteria, with multiple methods leveraging DNA sequencing for enhanced precision. As sequencing technologies improve and costs decline, these approaches are increasingly used in clinical, environmental, and evolutionary studies.Multilocus Sequence Typing (MLST) examines several housekeeping genes, essential chromosomal genes encoding cellular functions, to distinguish strains. Approximately...
