The GSA blog post about our G3 paper was the most accurate
and well-thought-out summary of our research that one
could envision. It nailed the essence of what we were after with
the project, and we were excited to see our work reframed for
a broad audience so eloquently!

ON THE COVER The mosquito Aedes aegypti and its relative A. albopictus are responsible
for the spread of Zika, Chikungunya, and yellow fever viruses, among others, and A. aegypti
transmits as many as 528 million dengue infections per year. Evans et al. developed an
A. aegypti 50,000 SNP genotyping chip, which enables high-throughput genome-scale study
of this important disease vector. G3 5:711718. Image shows a 1905 illustration of A. aegypti
from Goeldis Os Mosquitos No Par reflected in the new chip. Photo: Benjamin Evans.

host innate immune response are common. These may be new targets for
antifungal drugs. Acquired thermotolerance is also a common property,
and we show that the stress-response transcription factors Msn2 and Msn4
promote quiescence. Many other pathways also contribute, including a
subset of genes involved in autophagy, ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis, DNA
replication, bud site selection, and cytokinesis.
soybean haplotype block maps in the wild, landrace, and North American
cultivar populations and observed that most recombination events occurred
in the regions between haplotype blocks. These haplotype maps are crucial
of economic importance. A case-control association test delimited potential
genomic regions along seven chromosomes that most likely contain genes
controlling seed weight in domesticated soybean. The resulting dataset will
traits, and will accelerate the creation of soybean varieties with improved seed
yield and quality.

of migratory and resident rainbow trout derived from a wild population, which
genetic variance and covariance among the suite of traits that make up a
component of the migratory syndrome in this species. Additionally, we identify
strong negative genetic correlation between the migratory and resident life
history trajectories. Given the large heritability estimates of all of the traits
that segregate between migratory and resident rainbow trout, we conclude
genetic correlation between these traits, they do not evolve in isolation, but
rather as a suite of coordinated characters in a predictable manner.

FLY CATWALK How animals regulate their size is crucial for understanding
both normal development and cancerous growth. In Drosophila, a popular
model for studying growth, time-consuming manual measurements limit the
number of individuals to be analyzed. Medici et al. developed the FlyCatwalk,
an automated system for measuring live Drosophila with similar accuracy to
manual processing, but four times greater throughput.

INVESTIG ATIONS
ABSTRACT The genetic variants underlying complex traits are often elusive
even in powerful model organisms such as Caenorhabditis elegans with
controlled genetic backgrounds and environmental conditions. Two major
contributing factors are: (1) the lack of statistical power from measuring the
phenotypes of small numbers of individuals, and (2) the use of phenotyping
platforms that do not scale to hundreds of individuals and are prone to noisy
measurements. Here, we generated a new resource of 359 recombinant
inbred strains that augments the existing C. elegans N2xCB4856 recombinant
inbred advanced intercross line population. This new strain collection removes
variation in the neuropeptide receptor gene npr-1, known to have large
physiological and behavioral effects on C. elegans and mitigates the hybrid
strain incompatibility caused by zeel-1 and peel-1
quantitative trait loci that otherwise would have been masked by those effects.
Additionally, we optimized highly scalable and accurate high-throughput
assays of fecundity and body size using the COPAS BIOSORT large particle
involved in fecundity and growth under normal growth conditions and after
exposure to the herbicide paraquat, including independent genetic loci that
regulate different stages of larval growth. Our results offer a powerful platform
for the discovery of the genetic variants that control differences in responses to
drugs, other aqueous compounds, bacterial foods, and pathogenic stresses.

We conducted targeted copy number variation (CNV) analysis and/or wholeexome sequencing on 20 families (22 patients) from a subset of 45 families
(52 patients) with a clinical diagnosis of PCD who did not have a molecular
genetic diagnosis after Sanger sequencing of 12 PCD-associated genes.
