Combining two Meishan F2 crosses improves the detection of QTL on pig chromosomes 2, 4 and 6

Genetics Selection Evolution, 2010
Background In pig, a number of experiments have been set up to identify QTL and a multitude of chromosomal regions harbouring genes influencing traits of interest have been identified. However, the mapping resolution remains limited in most cases and the

Use of Cluster Analysis for Identifying Metafounders

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In the metafounder approach, the relationship matrix of metafounders, Γ$$ \boldsymbol{\Gamma} $$ is used to transfer information on relationships between pedigree founders into the numerator relationship matrix A$$ \mathbf{A} $$, creating matrix AΓ$$ {\mathbf{A}}^{\boldsymbol{\Gamma}} $$.

vqtl: An R Package for Mean-Variance QTL Mapping

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2018
We present vqtl, an R package for mean-variance QTL mapping. This QTL mapping approach tests for genetic loci that influence the mean of the phenotype, termed mean QTL, the variance of the phenotype, termed variance QTL, or some combination of the two ...

Near‐complete genome assembly of a transformation‐efficient elite inbred line LH244 and its comparison with B73

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Analysis of a near‐complete assembly of the genome of the highly transformable maize inbred line LH244 revealed its high genetic similarity to B73 and will serve as a much‐needed resource for functional genomics and genome editing of maize. ABSTRACT The highly transformable maize inbred line LH244 represents an attractive model for gene discovery and ...

The receptor‐like pseudokinase LENG stimulates chilling tolerance in rice by inhibiting the activity of the OsCRPK1‐OsGF14d module

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
The rice receptor‐like pseudokinase LENG enhances chilling tolerance by binding to and suppressing the kinase activity of OsCRPK1, thereby preventing OsCRPK1‐mediated phosphorylation of the cold‐tolerance positive regulator OsGF14d. ABSTRACT Cold damage during the seedling and reproductive stages has a pronounced impact on rice development and yield ...

Model selection for quantitative trait loci mapping in a full-sib family

Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2012
Statistical methods for mapping quantitative trait loci (QTLs) in full-sib forest trees, in which the number of alleles and linkage phase can vary from locus to locus, are still not well established.

Genetic Dissection of QTL Associated with Grain Yield in Diverse Environments

Agronomy, 2014
Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) breeding programs strive to increase grain yield; however, the progress is hampered due to its quantitative inheritance, low heritability, and confounding environmental effects. In the present study, a winter wheat population

Genetic Susceptibility to Periodontitis

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
Aim: The aim of this narrative review was to identify genes carrying risk alleles associated with an increased risk of periodontitis and to place them in a biological context. Methods: The literature was reviewed based on predefined criteria. Results: The identified genes largely fall into functions linking immune response with tissue repair. The genes
