Genetic heterogeneity of residual variance - estimation of variance components using double hierarchical generalized linear models [PDF]
Background The sensitivity to microenvironmental changes varies among animals and may be under genetic control. It is essential to take this element into account when aiming at breeding robust farm animals.

Graphical chain models for the analysis of complex genetic diseases: an application to hypertension [PDF]
A crucial task in modern genetic medicine is the understanding of complex genetic diseases. The main complicating features are that a combination of genetic and environmental risk factors is involved, and the phenotype of interest may be complex ...

A COMPARISON OF GENETIC NETWORK MODELS [PDF]
With the completion of the sequencing of the human genome, the need for tools capable of unraveling the interaction and functionality of genes becomes extremely urgent. In answer to this quest, the advent of microarray technology provides the opportunity to perform large scale gene expression analyses.

Genetic analysis of environmental variation [PDF]
Environmental variation (V-E) in a quantitative trait - variation in phenotype that cannot be explained by genetic variation or identifiable genetic differences - can be regarded as being under some degree of genetic control. Such variation may be either

Genetically altered rat and mouse models have been instrumental in the functional analysis of genes in a physiological context. In particular, studies on the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) have profited from this technology in the past. In this review, we summarize the existing animal models for the protective axis of the RAS consisting of angiotensin ...

A survey of genetic improvement search spaces [PDF]
Genetic Improvement (GI) uses automated search to improve existing software. Most GI work has focused on empirical studies that successfully apply GI to improve software's running time, fix bugs, add new features, etc. There has been little research into

Joint Modeling of Imaging and Genetics [PDF]
We propose a unified Bayesian framework for detecting genetic variants associated with a disease while exploiting image-based features as an intermediate phenotype. Traditionally, imaging genetics methods comprise two separate steps. First, image features are selected based on their relevance to the disease phenotype.

Statistical validation of genetic models
Various aspects of statistical validation of genetic models are reviewed. Possible ways of decomposing additive genetic variance over time and ways of comparing predictions at different times are suggested.

Genetic model misspecification in genetic association studies [PDF]
The underlying model of the genetic determinant of a trait is generally not known with certainty a priori. Hence, in genetic association studies, a dominant model might be erroneously modelled as additive, an error investigated previously. We explored this question, for candidate gene studies, by evaluating the sample size required to compensate for ...

Discovering predictive variables when evolving cognitive models [PDF]
A non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm is used to evolve models of learning from different theories for multiple tasks. Correlation analysis is performed to identify parameters which affect performance on specific tasks; these are the predictive ...
