Hidden genetic variance contributes to increase the short‐term adaptive potential of selfing populations
Abstract Standing genetic variation is considered a major contributor to the adaptive potential of species. The low heritable genetic variation observed in self‐fertilising populations has led to the hypothesis that species with this mating system would be less likely to adapt. However, a non‐negligible amount of cryptic genetic variation for polygenic traits, accumulated through negative linkage disequilibrium, could prove to be an important source of standing variation in self‐fertilising species....

Illustrating the importance of meta‐analysing variances alongside means in ecology and evolution
Abstract Meta‐analysis is increasingly used in biology to both quantitatively summarize available evidence for specific questions, and generate new hypotheses. While this powerful tool has mostly been deployed to study mean effects, there is untapped potential to study effects on (trait) variance. Here, we use a recently published dataset as a case study to demonstrate how meta‐analysis of variance can be used to provide insights into biological processes. This dataset included 704 effect sizes...

Computer-assisted surgery for replacement of the temporomandibular joint with customized prostheses: can we validate the results?
Abstract Purpose Replacing the temporomandibular joint poses an important challenge to maxillofacial surgeons, and for certain disorders, it represents the treatment’s gold standard. Computer-assisted surgery (comprising preoperative virtual planning, virtual intraoperative navigation and 3D printing) is a useful tool for this type of surgery. However, we do not know if and how much the final position of the prosthesis differs, in absolute...

Effects of dietary rumen–protected Lys levels on rumen fermentation and bacterial community composition in Holstein heifers
Abstract This study aimed to evaluate the effects of partial reducing rumen-protected Lys (RPLys) on rumen fermentation and microbial composition in heifers. Three ruminal fistulated Holstein Friesian bulls were used to determine the effective degradability of RPLys using an in situ method at incubation times of 0, 2, 6, 12, 16, 24, 36, and 48 h. Thereafter, 36 Holstein heifers at 90 days of age were assigned to one of two dietary treatments: a theoretically balanced amino acid...

2,3-Dihydroxyisovalerate production by Klebsiella pneumoniae
Abstract 2,3-Dihydroxyisovalerate is an intermediate of valine and leucine biosynthesis pathway; however, no natural microorganism has been found yet that can accumulate this compound. Klebsiella pneumoniae is a useful bacterium that can be used as a workhorse for the production of a range of industrially desirable chemicals. Dihydroxy acid dehydratase, encoded by the ilvD gene, catalyzes the reaction of 2-ketoisovalerate formation from 2,3-dihydroxyisovalerate. In this study,...

Association of MICA gene polymorphisms with thionamide-induced agranulocytosis
Abstract Background Thionamide-induced agranulocytosis (TIA), namely antithyroid drug (ATD)-induced agranulocytosis, is one of the most feared adverse effect of ATDs. It is defined as a granulocyte count of less than 0.5 × 109/L after ATD administration. Several studies reported that TIA is associated with human leukocyte antigen (HLA) and nearby genes. Our previous study found that the susceptibility genes of TIA are similar in north...
