Chromatin That Guides Dosage Compensation Is Modulated by the siRNA Pathway in Drosophila melanogaster.

abstract：:Great interest was aroused by reports, based on microsatellite markers, of high levels of statistically significant long-range and nonsyntenic linkage disequilibrium (LD) in livestock. Simulation studies showed that this could result from population family structure. In contrast, recent SNP-based studies of livestock ...
