This study analyzed the genetics of the patchiness phenotype in New Zealand rabbits and found that the gene KRT82, with identified SNPs in its promoter, may serve as a potential biomarker for breeding these rabbits.

This study identified a novel mutation in the EDA gene, which may impair protein stabilization and be involved in the development of oligodontia and mild ectodermal dysplasia phenotypes.

This study identified genomic regions and candidate genes that may contribute to phenotypic diversity in coat color, body size, cashmere traits, and high-altitude adaptation in domesticated goat breeds.

This study found several microRNA-related genetic variants linked to epithelial ovarian cancer risk, with a notable association at the 17q21.31 region, suggesting potential new susceptibility genes.

This study discusses how different modes of regulated cell death in keratinocytes affect skin stem cell niches, and their role in skin inflammation, injury repair, and cancer, based on findings from human dermatological conditions and experimental mouse models.

In this study, researchers found that two dominant haplotypes in the EDA2R/AR intergenic region have likely been shaped by demographic changes and selection during human evolution, particularly notable in African and non-African populations.

This genome-wide association study identified 71 genetic loci linked to male pattern baldness, with 30 novel loci, explaining 38% of the risk and suggesting shared pathways with lifespan and cancer traits.

This study suggests that the AGA risk haplotype in Europeans was driven to high frequency by positive selection, likely associated with a variant in the EDA2R gene.

This study designed a 66 K SNP chip using solution hybrid selection for cashmere goats, reporting SNP call rates between 95.3% and 99.8% and demonstrating its utility in genomic analyses, suggesting potential application for other species.

DNA can predict physical traits like eye and hair color accurately, especially in Europeans, but predicting other traits and in diverse populations needs more research.
