Dominance reversals and the maintenance of genetic variation for fitness

open access: yesPLoS Biology, 2019
Antagonistic selection between different fitness components (e.g., survival versus fertility) or different types of individuals in a population (e.g., females versus males) can potentially maintain genetic diversity and thereby account for the high levels of fitness variation observed in natural populations.

Improvement in genetic evaluation of quantitative traits in sheep by enriching genetic model with dominance effects [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports
Although dominance effects play a major role in quantitative genetics, most studies on quantitative traits have often neglected dominance effects, assuming alleles act additively.

The integrative biology of genetic dominance [PDF]

open access: yesBiological Reviews, 2021
ABSTRACTDominance is a basic property of inheritance systems describing the link between a diploid genotype at a single locus and the resulting phenotype. Models for the evolution of dominance have long been framed as an opposition between the irreconcilable views of Fisher in 1928 supporting the role of largely elusive dominance modifiers and Wright ...

Dominance is common in mammals and is associated with trans-acting gene expression and alternative splicing

open access: yesGenome Biology, 2023
Background Dominance and other non-additive genetic effects arise from the interaction between alleles, and historically these phenomena play a major role in quantitative genetics.

Dominance and G×E interaction effects improvegenomic prediction and genetic gain inintermediate wheatgrass (Thinopyrumintermedium) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Genomic selection (GS) based recurrent selection methods were developed to accelerate the domestication of intermediate wheatgrass [IWG, Thinopyrum intermedium (Host) Barkworth & D.R. Dewey].

Evolution of dominance in gene expression pattern associated with phenotypic robustness

open access: yesBMC Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Background Mendelian inheritance is a fundamental law of genetics. When we consider two genomes in a diploid cell, a heterozygote’s phenotype is dominated by a particular homozygote according to the law of dominance.
