Resistance to starvation is a classical complex trait, where varying genetic and environmental landscapes can greatly modify an animal’s ability to cope. In this study, …
Communication between the mitochondrial and nuclear genomes is vital for cellular function. The assembly of mitochondrial enzyme complexes that produce the majority of cellular energy …
Tissue remodeling occurring up to years after myocardial infarction can promote initiation and propagation of potentially lethal cardiac arrhythmias. The wound healing process and electrophysiological …
The incidence of sudden cardiac death increases 5 to 40–fold in humans over 65 years as compared to younger individuals. The mechanisms underlying this phenomena …
A central focus of genetics seeks to understand how genotype contributes to phenotype. Simple, single gene traits are generally driven by alleles with additive or …
