Evolution of dominance in gene expression pattern associated with phenotypic robustness

BMC Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Background Mendelian inheritance is a fundamental law of genetics. When we consider two genomes in a diploid cell, a heterozygote’s phenotype is dominated by a particular homozygote according to the law of dominance.

Mendelian randomization studies do not support a role for raised circulating triglyceride levels influencing type 2 diabetes, glucose levels, or insulin resistance. [PDF]

, 2011
OBJECTIVE: The causal nature of associations between circulating triglycerides, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes is unclear. We aimed to use Mendelian randomization to test the hypothesis that raised circulating triglyceride levels causally ...

Evolution in Mendelian populations [PDF]

Bulletin of Mathematical Biology, 1931
The frequency of a given gene in a population may be modified by a number of conditions including recurrent mutation to and from it, migration, selection of various sorts and, far from least in importance, were chance ...

Clustered environments and randomized genes: a fundamental distinction between conventional and genetic epidemiology. [PDF]

, 2007
BACKGROUND: In conventional epidemiology confounding of the exposure of interest with lifestyle or socioeconomic factors, and reverse causation whereby disease status influences exposure rather than vice versa, may invalidate causal interpretations of ...

Response to mass selection when an identified major gene is segregating [PDF]

, 1998
A deterministic model to predict response with mass selection when a major locus is segregating is presented. The model uses a selection index framework in which the weight of the different components included in the index are adjusted to describe the ...
