Princess Lakshmi Bayi, in her history of the temple, notes that there are many stories "passed down through chronicles and word of mouth" about "snakes of high breed" that appeared when "the Temple came under threat," offering interlopers a warning.
Such a consistent pattern across many breeds cannot easily be explained as a spurious trend and shows that high breed diversity does not prevent the detection of robust patterns.
Our approach was unusual in that it used microsatellite markers, embraced high breed diversity and focused particularly on detecting genes showing heterozygote advantage, a mode of action often overlooked in SNP-based studies.
Thus, the high breed heritability in the male gonads cannot be explained solely by changes in spermatogenesis.
Markers that show high breed differentiation due to positive selection for breed-specific characteristics may also be highly informative for breed assignment analyses.
Then, we studied whether any specific GO biological process was overrepresented in all genes for that module, i.e., not only those that showed high breed variability.
As can be seen in Figure 2, the predominantly long branches of breeds coupled with the high reported FST values are indicative of high breed genetic differentiation (Table 3).
There is a high breed predisposition to chronic valvular disease and therefore a genetic predisposition is highly suspect [ 1- 3] with a clear majority of affected breeds being of small size [ 10].
Idiopathic epilepsy (genetic epilepsy)—a causative gene for epilepsy has been identified/confirmed genetic background Idiopathic epilepsy (suspected genetic epilepsy)—a genetic influence supported by a high breed prevalence (>2 %), genealogical analysis and/or familial accumulation of epileptic individuals*,**.
