The allele frequency represents the incidence of a gene variant in a population. Alleles are variant forms of a gene that are located at the same position, or genetic locus, on a chromosome.

Allele frequencies have long been studied by biologists interested in evolution and speciation. More recently, with the application of molecular markers in human DNA profiling we have also seen ...

Researchers used field data from 2012 to 2015 to study mortality and allele frequency changes in the sea star Pisaster ochraceus during a mass mortality event in north central California ...

Highly sensitive and accurate methods are needed to define target allele frequencies (AFs) in next-generation sequencing (NGS) reference material which is critical for the development and ...

A coalition of 13 leading life science and diagnostics organizations today announced the formation of the Allele Frequency Community, a landmark initiative that is creating an extensive, high-quality ...

With this tool, the user can get information about the county-specific frequencies of alleles that are present in the FINRISK data set. Depending on the rarity of the allele, the tool shows either the ...

The expression of the dry earwax phenotype is contingent on an AA genotype, it has recessive expression. So in a population where the allele frequency of A ~0.50, the dry earwax phenotype would have a ...
