Feedback Regulation and its Efficiency in Biochemical Networks [PDF]
Intracellular biochemical networks fluctuate dynamically due to various internal and external sources of fluctuation. Dissecting the fluctuation into biologically relevant components is important for understanding how a cell controls and harnesses noise ...

Modeling methylation data as an additional genetic variance component
High-throughput platforms allow the characterization of thousands of previously known methylation sites. These platforms have great potential for investigating the epigenetic effects that are partially responsible for gene expression control. Methylation

Decomposition of multivariate phenotypic means in multigroup genetic covariance structure analysis [PDF]
Observed differences in phenotypic means between groups such as parents and their offspring or male and female twins can be decomposed into genetic and environmental components.

Background It has been argued that multibreed animal models should include a heterogeneous covariance structure. However, the estimation of the (co)variance components is not an easy task, because these parameters can not be factored out from the inverse

Forecasting the SST space-time variability of the Alboran Sea with genetic algorithms [PDF]
We propose a nonlinear ocean forecasting technique based on a combination of genetic algorithms and empirical orthogonal function (EOF) analysis. The method is used to forecast the space-time variability of the sea surface temperature (SST) in the ...

Genetic Correlation Between the P300 Event-Related Brain Potential and the EEG Power Spectrum [PDF]
Previous studies have demonstrated moderate heritability of the P300 component of event-related brain potentials (ERPs) and high heritability of background electroencephalogram (EEG) power spectrum.

2D association and integrative omics analysis in rice provides systems biology view in trait analysis. [PDF]
The interactions among genes and between genes and environment contribute significantly to the phenotypic variation of complex traits and may be possible explanations for missing heritability.

Animal models with group-specific additive genetic variances: extending genetic group models
Background The animal model is a key tool in quantitative genetics and has been used extensively to estimate fundamental parameters, such as additive genetic variance or heritability.

Sex-specific genetic influence on thyroid-stimulating hormone and free thyroxine levels, and interactions between measurements: KNHANES 2013-2015. [PDF]
BACKGROUND:Although a wide range of genetic influences on thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and free thyroxine (fT4) levels have been reported, sex differences in the genetic influences have not been well described. METHODS:We assessed TSH and fT4 levels

Clarifying the relationship between average excesses and average effects of allele substitutions
Fisher’s concepts of average effects and average excesses are at the core of the quantitative genetics theory. Their meaning and relationship have regularly been discussed and clarified.
