Article
Arabinoxylan (AX) and resistant starch (RS) are essential components of dietary fiber, that affect the nutritional value, health benefits, and end-use quality of wheat. Fully understanding their genetic basis ...
Article
Pathogenic variants of the KCNH1 gene can cause dominant-inherited Temple–Baraitser/Zimmermann–Laband syndrome with severe mental retardation, seizure, gingival hyperplasia and nail hypoplasia. This study establi...
Article
Down syndrome (DS), the most frequently occurring human chromosomal disorder, is caused by trisomy 21. The exact molecular effects of trisomy on certain cell populations in the brain remain poorly understood.
Article
Sparassis latifolia is a valuable edible mushroom, growing on fresh pine wood sawdust substrate. However, the mechanistic bases are poorly understood. The gene expression profiles of S. latifolia were analyzed fr...
Article
The color of flour and its end-use products is an important quality trait of wheat. Understanding the genetic basis of this trait is essential for improving wheat quality. In this study, quantitative trait loc...
Article
Kernel number per spike (KNS) and spike length (SL) are important spike-related traits in wheat variety improvement. Discovering genetic loci controlling these traits is necessary to elucidate the genetic basi...
Chapter and Conference Paper
In this paper, we analyze a spatial 3-degree-of-freedom cable-driven robot with a point-mass end-effector suspended by 3 cables. The kinematic and dynamic behaviour of this robot was investigated in previous w...
Article
Down syndrome (DS), caused by trisomy 21, is the most common human chromosomal disorder. Hippocampal abnormalities have been believed to be responsible for the DS developmental cognitive deficits. Cumulative e...
Article
Hajdu-Cheney syndrome (HCS) is a rare inherited skeletal disorder caused by pathogenic mutations in exon 34 of NOTCH2. Its highly variable phenotypes make early diagnosis challenging. In this paper, we report a c...
Article
Following the publication of the original article [1], it was reported that the accession number given in the ‘Data accessibility’ declaration, GSE65696, is incorrect.
Article
Ricinus communis is a highly economically valuable oil crop plant from the spurge family, Euphorbiaceae. However, the available reference genomes are incomplete and to date studies on ricinoleic acid biosynthesis...
Chapter and Conference Paper
This paper proposes a dynamic transition trajectory planning technique for three-degree-of-freedom (three-DOF) cable-suspended parallel robots (CSPRs). This trajectory is designed to connect multiple target tr...
Article
Light is a necessary environmental factor for fruit body formation and development of the cauliflower mushroom Sparassis latifolia, a well-known edible and medicinal fungus. In this study, we firstly characterize...
Article
The tropopause, which plays important roles in the stratosphere-troposphere exchange, is an interface between the troposphere and stratosphere. In this study, the characteristics of tropopause is investigated ...

Article
Trisomy 21 causes Down syndrome (DS), but the mechanisms by which the extra chromosome leads to deficient intellectual and immune function are not well understood.
Article
Testosterone deficiency is associated with increased serum cholesterol levels. However, how testosterone deficiency precisely affects cholesterol metabolism remains unclear. Therefore, in the current study, we...
Article
Recent studies have indicated that low serum testosterone levels are associated with increased risk of developing hepatic steatosis; however, the mechanisms mediating this phenomenon have not been fully elucid...

Chapter
Quantitative traits are very common in nature; most agronomical important traits in crops are quantitative. In this chapter, the history and concept of molecular quantitative genetics, tools and methods to stu...
