Popcorn using SNPs with extremely low P-value

Popcorn using SNPs with extremely low P-value 0 I would like to use Popcorn to assess genetic corrleation between different populations. However, the summary statistics for one population contains a very small P-value, such as P-value=5.0×10^-1200. Perhaps that is why I cannot calculate the genetic correlation including this summary statistics….

The genetic structure of populations of Isthmiophora melis (Schrank, 1788) (Digenea: Echinostomatidae). Does the host’s diet matter? | Parasites & Vectors

Digeneans are one of the most unique and the most numerous groups of parasitic Platyhelminthes. Their life cycle is complex, with few parthenogenetic and a single hermaphroditic generation [21]. Due to the complexity of the life cycle, these parasites are frequently subject to various modifications to their life strategies. There…

Characterization of nuclear DNA diversity in an individual Leymus chinensis

Introduction The definition of an individual organism, traditionally defined by the invariable presence of a physiological unit and genetic homogeneity, is challenged by situations such as intraorganismal genetic heterogeneity (IGH), which refers to the presence of more than one genotype in a single organism (Schweinsberg et al., 2015). Cells within a…

Microorganisms | Free Full-Text | Whole-Genome Sequencing of Shiga Toxin-Producing Escherichia coli for Characterization and Outbreak Investigation

1. Introduction Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) is a Gram-negative foodborne pathogen that was estimated to cause ~265,000 infections, 3600 hospitalizations, and 30 deaths in the U.S. each year [1]. Most patients with STEC infections develop diarrhea and abdominal pain, though hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) and kidney failure can occur,…

Paternity Testing from WGS Trio

It is definitely possible to assess paternity from whole genome sequence (WGS) data. Paternity can probably be established with as little as a few dozen or maybe hundreds of well-chosen single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). If you have decent WGS data you can expect to genotype millions of SNPs. So, paternity…

BugBitten Molecular detection of multiple schistosome species and their hybrids using a single PCR assay

Schistosomiasis is a disease of global medical and veterinary importance, caused by parasitic flatworms of the genus Schistosoma. Around 200 million people, and an untold number (possibly in the billions) of animals are estimated to be infected, globally. Certain schistosome species can infect humans (e.g. Schistosoma mansoni and S. haematobium),…
