Random regression models for detection of gene by environment interaction
Genetics Selection Evolution, 2007 Two random regression models, where the effect of a putative QTL was regressed on an environmental gradient, are described. The first model estimates the correlation between intercept and slope of the random regression, while the other model restricts ...

Emergent adaptive behaviour of GRN-controlled simulated robots in a changing environment [PDF]
, 2016 We developed a bio-inspired robot controller combining an artificial genome with an agent-based control system. The genome encodes a gene regulatory network (GRN) that is switched on by environmental cues and, following the rules of transcriptional ...

Nature, Nurture and Egalitarian Policy: What Can We Learn from Molecular Genetics? [PDF]
This brief paper draws attention to molecular genetic research which may provide a new dimension to our understanding of how socioeconomic outcomes are generated. In particular, we provide an overview of the recently emerging evidence of gene-environment

Tests for Gene-Environment Interactions and Joint Effects with Exposure Misclassification [PDF]
, 2015 The number of methods for genome-wide testing of gene-environment interactions (GEI) continues to increase with the hope of discovering new genetic risk factors and obtaining insight into the disease-gene-environment relationship.
