Assortative Mating and Linkage Disequilibrium
G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2017 Assortative mating has been suggested to result in an increase in heritability and additive genetic variance through an increase in linkage disequilibrium.

BMC Genetics, 2006 Background A genetic model about quantitative trait loci (QTL) provides a basis to interpret the genetic basis of quantitative traits in a study population, such as additive, dominance and epistatic effects of QTL and the partition of genetic variance ...

A high density linkage map of the bovine genome
BMC Genetics, 2009 Background Recent technological advances have made it possible to efficiently genotype large numbers of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in livestock species, allowing the production of high-density linkage maps.

Determinants of variation in serum paraoxonase enzyme activity in baboons
Journal of Lipid Research, 2005 Paraoxonase (PON), an HDL-associated enzyme, is one of many circulating antioxidants thought to play a vital protective role. To better understand the determinants of quantitative variation in serum PON activity, we assayed PON in samples from 611 ...

The Detection of Linkage in Human Genetics
Journal of the Royal Statistical Society Series B: Statistical Methodology, 1953 Summary There are three methods used in practice to detect human linkage. These are: (i)The sib-pair method of Penrose, applicable to pairs of brothers and sisters, when the parents’ genotypes are unknown or disregarded.(ii)The method of efficient scores (u-functions), due to Fisher and Finney, applicable to families consisting of 2 or ...

The use of different clustering methods in the evaluation of genetic diversity in upland cotton
Revista Ciência AgronômicaThe continuous development and evaluation of new genotypes through crop breeding is essential in order to obtain new cultivars. The objective of this work was to evaluate the genetic divergences between cultivars of upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L ...

Near-saturated and complete genetic linkage map of black spruce (
BMC Genomics, 2010 Background Genetic maps provide an important genomic resource for understanding genome organization and evolution, comparative genomics, mapping genes and quantitative trait loci, and associating genomic segments with phenotypic traits.

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2017 Developments in next-generation sequencing allow genotyping of thousands of genetic markers across hundreds of individuals in a cost-effective manner. Because of this, it is now possible to rapidly produce dense genetic linkage maps for nonmodel species.
