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.

Genetic variability for vigor and yield of robusta coffee (Coffea canephora) clones in Ghana
Effectiveness of plant improvement programs, especially in perennial crops like coffee, may be improved by knowing the level of genetic variation which exist within a breeding population coupled with the knowledge of estimates of genetic parameters for ...

Genomic prediction of complex traits across environments, breeding cycles, and populations remains a challenge for plant breeding. A potential explanation for this is that underlying non-additive genetic (GxG) and genotype-by-environment (GxE ...

Inverse relationship between genetic diversity and epigenetic complexity [PDF]
Early studies of molecular evolution revealed a correlation between genetic distance and time of species divergence. This observation provoked the molecular clock hypothesis and in turn the ‘Neutral Theory’, which however remains an ...

Most of the genetic covariation between major depressive and alcohol use disorders is explained by trait measures of negative emotionality and behavioral control [PDF]
Background Mental health disorders commonly co-occur, even between conceptually distinct syndromes, such as internalizing and externalizing disorders.
