Genetic diversity and recent ancestry based on whole-genome sequencing of endangered Swedish cattle breeds
Several indigenous cattle breeds in Sweden are endangered. Conservation of their genetic diversity and genomic characterization is a priority.
Whole-ge...

Between hope and reality: treatment of genetic diseases through nucleic acid-based drugs
Rare diseases (RD) affect a small number of people compared to the general population and are mostly genetic in origin. The first clinical signs...

Principal Component Analyses (PCA)-based findings in population genetic studies are highly biased and must be reevaluated
Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is a multivariate analysis that reduces the complexity of datasets while preserving data covariance. The outcome...
