Parent-Offspring Communication
Parent-offspring communicationCommunication is an indispensable capability for many social insect species that allows them to make full use of...
-
Maternal patterns of inheritance alter transcript expression in eggs
BackgroundModifications to early development can lead to evolutionary diversification. The early stages of development are under maternal control, as...

Disentangling the link between maternal influences on birth weight and disease risk in 36,211 genotyped mother–child pairs
Epidemiological studies have robustly linked lower birth weight to later-life disease risks. These observations may reflect the adverse impact of...

Examining parent-of-origin effects on transcription and RNA methylation in mediating aggressive behavior in honey bees (Apis mellifera)
Conflict between genes inherited from the mother (matrigenes) and the father (patrigenes) is predicted to arise during social interactions among...

Self-fertilization does not lead to inbreeding depression in Typha parent species or hybrids
Some of the most impactful invasive plants are hybrids that exhibit heterosis and outperform their parent species. Heterosis can result from multiple...

Machine learning on alignment features for parent-of-origin classification of simulated hybrid RNA-seq
BackgroundParent-of-origin allele-specific gene expression (ASE) can be detected in interspecies hybrids by virtue of RNA sequence variants between...

Exploring the Xenia Effect: Differential Responses of Six Pollen Parents with Five Maternal Apple Cultivars
To investigate the xenia effect while bearing in mind the significance of pollination and the pollen effect on xenia quality, a study was designed to...
-
The effects of maternal care on the developmental transcriptome and metatranscriptome of a wild bee
Maternal care acts as a strong environmental stimulus that can induce phenotypic plasticity in animals and may also alter their microbial communities...

Evidence for parent-of-origin effects in autism spectrum disorder: a narrative review
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a heterogeneous group of early-onset neurodevelopmental disorders known to be highly heritable with a complex...

Transgenerational Effects of Maternal Zinc Deficiency on Zinc Transporters in Drosophila melanogaster
Maternal nutrition, including the availability of micronutrients such as zinc, influences the health of the offspring. Using Drosophila melanogaster ,...

Phenome-wide analyses identify an association between the parent-of-origin effects dependent methylome and the rate of aging in humans
BackgroundThe variation in the rate at which humans age may be rooted in early events acting through the genomic regions that are influenced by such...

Maternal transmission gives way to social transmission during gut microbiota assembly in wild mice
BackgroundThe mammalian gut microbiota influences a wide array of phenotypes which are relevant to fitness, yet knowledge about the transmission...

Maternal aging increases offspring adult body size via transmission of donut-shaped mitochondria
Maternal age at childbearing has continued to increase in recent decades. However, whether and how it influences offspring adult traits are largely...

Maternal uniparental disomy of chromosome 21 as a cause of pseudo-exclusion from paternity
Uniparental disomy (UPD) is a rare chromosomal condition, which apart from its importance in medical genetics can affect an outcome of parentage DNA...

How does maternal age influence reproductive performance and offspring phenotype in the snow petrel (Pagodroma nivea)?
In wild vertebrates, the increase of breeding success with advancing age has been extensively studied through laying date, clutch size, hatching...

Maternal effects, paternal effects, and their interactions in the freshwater snail Physa acuta
Individuals exposed to predation risk can produce offspring with altered phenotypes. Most work on predation-induced parental effects has focused on...

Maternal dendritic cells influence fetal allograft response following murine in-utero hematopoietic stem cell transplantation
BackgroundIntrauterine hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (IUT), potentially curative in congenital haematological disease, is often inhibited...

Maternal RNA transcription in Dlk1-Dio3 domain is critical for proper development of the mouse placental vasculature
The placenta is a unique organ for ensuring normal embryonic growth in the uterine. Here, we found that maternal RNA transcription in Dlk1-Dio3 ...

Maternal Behavior in Sumatran Orangutans (Pongo abelii) is Modulated by Mother-Offspring Characteristics and Socioecological Factors
Mammalian mothers flexibly invest in their offspring to maximize their lifetime fitness. Flexible maternal investment may be particularly important...

Multiplex DNA fluorescence in situ hybridization to analyze maternal vs. paternal C. elegans chromosomes
Recent advances in microscopy have enabled studying chromosome organization at the single-molecule level, yet little is known about inherited...
