Joint modeling of human cortical structure: Genetic correlation network and composite-trait genetic correlation [PDF]
NeuroImageHeritability 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

Gut microbiome and frailty: insight from genetic correlation and mendelian randomization
Gut Microbes, 2023 Observational studies have shown that the gut microbiome is associated with frailty. However, whether these associations underlie causal effects remains unknown.

Multivariate analysis as a tool in the initial selections of golden flax (Linum usitatissimum L.)
Revista de Ciências Agroveterinárias, 2022 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
Horticulturae, 2022 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 correlations in mutation processes [PDF]
Physical Review E, 1999 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 ...

Cocktail-party listening and cognitive abilities show strong pleiotropy
Frontiers in Neurology, 2023 IntroductionThe cocktail-party problem refers to the difficulty listeners face when trying to attend to relevant sounds that are mixed with irrelevant ones. Previous studies have shown that solving these problems relies on perceptual as well as cognitive
