Más allá del GWAS: alternativas para localizar QTLs [PDF]
arXiv, 2015 Beyond GWAS: alternatives to localize QTLs in farm animals. Two methods that could be used for QTL mapping as alternatives to standard GWAS are presented. The first relies on the differential frequency of runs of homozygosity (ROH) in groups of animals (e.g.

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2020 The genetic contribution of additive vs. non-additive (epistatic) effects in the regulation of complex traits is unclear. While genome-wide association studies typically ignore gene-gene interactions, in part because of the lack of statistical power for ...

High Dimensional Gaussian Graphical Regression Models with Covariates [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Though Gaussian graphical models have been widely used in many scientific fields, relatively limited progress has been made to link graph structures to external covariates. We propose a Gaussian graphical regression model, which regresses both the mean and the precision matrix of a Gaussian graphical model on covariates. In the context of co-expression

A QTL for osteoporosis detected in an F2 population derived from White Leghorn chicken lines divergently selected for bone index [PDF]
, 2007 Osteoporosis, resulting from progressive loss of structural bone during the period of egg-laying in hens, is associated with an increased susceptibility to bone breakage.

The Gene scb-1 Underlies Variation in Caenorhabditis elegans Chemotherapeutic Responses
G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2020 Pleiotropy, the concept that a single gene controls multiple distinct traits, is prevalent in most organisms and has broad implications for medicine and agriculture.

Development and characterization of Brassica juncea fruticulosa introgression lines exhibiting resistance to mustard aphid [PDF]
, 2017 Background: Mustard aphid is a major pest of Brassica oilseeds. No source for aphid resistance is presently available in Brassica juncea . A wild crucifer, Brassica fruticulosa is known to be resistant to mustard aphid. An artificially synthesized amphiploid, AD-4 (B. fruticulosa x B. rapa var. brown sarson) was developed for use as a bridge species to

Sustainable deployment of QTLs conferring quantitative resistance to crops: first lessons from a stochastic model [PDF]
arXiv, 2014 Quantitative plant disease resistance is believed to be more durable than qualitative resistance, since it exerts less selective pressure on the pathogens. However, the process of progressive pathogen adaptation to quantitative resistance is poorly understood, which makes it difficult to predict its durability or to derive principles for its ...

Detection of quantitative trait loci for locomotion and osteochondrosis-related traits in Large White x Meishan pigs. [PDF]
, 2003 Data from the F2 generation of a Large White (LW) 5 Meishan (MS) crossbred population were analysed to detect quantitative trait loci (QTL) for leg and gait scores, osteochondrosis and physis scores.
