A cross-species approach using an in vivo evaluation platform in mice demonstrates that sequence variation in human RABEP2 modulates ischemic stroke outcomes

AMERICAN JOURNAL OF HUMAN GENETICS, 109(10), 1814–1827.

author keywords: Mouse Genetic Resource; Mouse Collaborative Cross hematology hemoglobin beta mean red cell volume; QTL mouse genetics complex traits shared ancestry
topics (OpenAlex): Genetic Mapping and Diversity in Plants and Animals; Single-cell and spatial transcriptomics; Genetic Associations and Epidemiology
TL;DR: This work used a newly developed mouse resource population, the Collaborative Cross, to identify genetic determinants of hematological parameters and used evolutionary principles and unique bioinformatics resources to reduce the size of candidate intervals and to view functional variation in the context of phylogeny.

By: W. Mathes*, D. Aylor*, D. Miller*, G. Churchill*, E. Chesler*, F. Villena*, D. Threadgill n, D. Pomp*

author keywords: genetics; wheel running; adiposity; body weight; quantitative trait loci
MeSH headings : Alleles; Analysis of Variance; Animals; Body Fat Distribution; Body Weight / genetics; Body Weight / physiology; Chromosome Mapping; Chromosomes / genetics; Crosses, Genetic; Eating / genetics; Eating / physiology; Energy Metabolism / genetics; Energy Metabolism / physiology; Genotype; Linkage Disequilibrium; Male; Mice; Mice, Inbred C57BL; Mice, Inbred Strains; Motor Activity / physiology; Phenotype; Physical Conditioning, Animal / physiology; Quantitative Trait Loci; Running / physiology; Sample Size
topics (OpenAlex): Genetic Mapping and Diversity in Plants and Animals; Genetic and phenotypic traits in livestock; Adipose Tissue and Metabolism
TL;DR: The results suggest that the CC will be a powerful, high-precision tool for examining the genetic architecture of complex traits such as those involved in regulation of energy balance. (via Semantic Scholar)

2011 journal article

Genetic analysis of complex traits in the emerging Collaborative Cross

Genome Research, 21(8), 1213–1222.

By: D. Aylor*, W. Valdar*, W. Foulds-Mathes*, R. Buus*, R. Verdugo*, R. Baric*, M. Ferris*, J. Frelinger* ...

MeSH headings : Animals; Crosses, Genetic; Female; Gene Expression; Genetic Association Studies; Genome; Haplotypes; Male; Mice; Phenotype; Quantitative Trait Loci
topics (OpenAlex): Genetic Mapping and Diversity in Plants and Animals; Genetic and phenotypic traits in livestock; Wheat and Barley Genetics and Pathology
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the genetic diversity of the CC, which derives from random mixing of eight founder strains, results in high phenotypic diversity and enhances the ability to map causative loci underlying complex disease-related traits. (via Semantic Scholar)

Elucidation of the transcription network governing mammalian sex determination by exploiting strain-specific susceptibility to sex reversal

Genes & Development, 23(21), 2521–2536.

By: S. Munger*, D. Aylor*, H. Syed*, P. Magwene*, D. Threadgill n & B. Capel*

author keywords: Sex determination; genetical genomics; systems genetics; eQTL; transcription networks; organogenesis
MeSH headings : Animals; Breeding; Cluster Analysis; Disorders of Sex Development; Female; Gene Expression Profiling; Gene Expression Regulation, Developmental; Genetic Variation; Gonads / metabolism; Male; Mice; Mice, Inbred C57BL; Quantitative Trait Loci / genetics; SOX9 Transcription Factor / metabolism; Sex Determination Processes; X Chromosome / genetics; Y Chromosome / genetics
topics (OpenAlex): Genetic and Clinical Aspects of Sex Determination and Chromosomal Abnormalities; Sexual Differentiation and Disorders; Animal Genetics and Reproduction
TL;DR: The results reveal the complex transcription architecture underlying sex determination, and provide a mechanism by which individuals may be sensitized for sex reversal, and estimated the F2 coexpression network and predicted roles for genes of unknown function based on their connectivity and position within the network.
