Common variants in left/right asymmetry genes and pathways are associated with relative hand skill. by William M Brandler, Andrew P Morris, David M Evans, Thomas S Scerri, John P Kemp, Nicholas J Timpson, Beate St Pourcain, George Davey Smith, Susan M Ring, John Stein, Anthony P Monaco, Joel B Talcott, Simon E Fisher, Caleb Webber, Silvia Paracchini

“…As PCSK6 is known to regulate NODAL in the development of left/right (LR) asymmetry in mice, we developed a novel approach to GWAS pathway analysis, using gene-set enrichment to test for an over-representation of highly associated variants within the orthologs of genes whose disruption in mice yields LR asymmetry phenotypes. …”

Ovarian Development and Vitellogenin Gene Expression under Heat Stress in Silkworm, Bombyx mori by Satinath Paul, Bela Keshan

“…The present study observed the effect of heat stress on ovarian development, fecundity, and vitellogenin gene expression in silkworm, Bombyx mori. The result showed that the heat shock treatment to spinning larvae and pupae at 39°C (1 h and 2 h) did not cause any adverse effect on the reproductive performance of B. mori. …”
