AN EXPERIMENTAL EVALUATION OF GENETIC CORRELATION [PDF]
ABSTRACT Heritability and genetic correlations realized from both single-trait and antagonistic index selection were compared with paternal half-sib estimates. Primary attention was focused on the genetic correlation between six-week body weight and six-week tail length.

Joint modeling of human cortical structure: Genetic correlation network and composite-trait genetic correlation [PDF]
Heritability and genetic covariance/correlation quantify the marginal and shared genetic effects across traits. They offer insights on the genetic architecture of complex traits and diseases. To explore how genetic variations contribute to brain function

Multivariate analysis as a tool in the initial selections of golden flax (Linum usitatissimum L.)
The genetic variability in plant populations can be estimated through multivariate analysis, which allows to analyze the genotypes based on a set of traits to identify the traits with the greatest influence for the divergence and the correlation between

Indirect Selection for Seed Yield in Sacha-Inchi (Plukenetia volubilis) in Brazil
Breeding programs for improvement of sacha-inchi, Plukenetia volubilis L., generally aim to select individuals with greater seed yield since there is a strong correlation between seed yield and oil production.

Chemical and sensory characteristics in the selection of bourbon genotypes
The evaluation of coffee quality in Brazil for commercialization is conducted mainly through sensory analysis, also known as the "cup test", in which professional tasters evaluate and score various attributes.

Genetic correlations in mutation processes [PDF]
We study the role of phylogenetic trees on correlations in mutation processes. Generally, correlations decay exponentially with the generation number. We find that two distinct regimes of behavior exist. For mutation rates smaller than a critical rate, the underlying tree morphology is almost irrelevant, while mutation rates higher than this critical ...
