PUTATIVE GENOME FEATURES OF RELIC GREEN ALGA-DERIVED NUCLEI IN DINOFLAGELLATES AND FUTURE PERSPECTIVES AS MODEL ORGANISMS

Putative genome features of relic green alga-derived nuclei in dinoflagellates and future perspectives as model organisms

Nucleomorphs, relic endosymbiont nuclei, have been studied as a model to elucidate the evolutionary process of integrating a eukaryotic endosymbiont into a host cell organelle.Recently, we reported two new dinoflagellates possessing nucleomorphs, and proposed them as new models in this research field based on the following findings: genome integrat

Estimating the predictive ability of genetic risk models in simulated data based on published results from genome-wide association studies

Background: There is increasing interest in investigating genetic risk models in empirical studies, but such studies are premature when the Support expected predictive ability of the risk model is low.We assessed how accurately the predictive ability of genetic risk models can be estimated in simulated data that are created based on the odds ratios
