Discovery of quantitative trait loci for resistance to parasitic nematode infection in sheep: I. Analysis of outcross pedigrees

BMC Genomics, 2006
Background Currently most pastoral farmers rely on anthelmintic drenches to control gastrointestinal parasitic nematodes in sheep. Resistance to anthelmintics is rapidly increasing in nematode populations such that on some farms none of the drench ...

Tests for the replication of an association between Egfr and natural variation in Drosophila melanogaster wing morphology

BMC Genetics, 2005
Background Quantitative differences between individuals stem from a combination of genetic and environmental factors, with the heritable variation being shaped by evolutionary forces.

Host genetics influence the rumen microbiota and heritable rumen microbial features associate with feed efficiency in cattle

Microbiome, 2019
Background The symbiotic rumen microbiota is essential for the digestion of plant fibers and contributes to the variation of production and health traits in ruminants.

Quantitative Genetic Dissection of Shoot Architecture Traits in Maize: Towards a Functional Genomics Approach

The Plant Genome, 2008
Quantitative trait loci (QTL) affecting the total number of leaves made before flowering and the number of leaves below the uppermost ear (NLBE) were mapped and characterized using the intermated B73 × Mo17 recombinant inbred lines (IBMRILs) of maize ( L.

Characterization of genome-methylome interactions in 22 nuclear pedigrees.

PLoS ONE, 2014
Genetic polymorphisms can shape the global landscape of DNA methylation, by either changing substrates for DNA methyltransferases or altering the DNA binding affinity of cis-regulatory proteins.

Natural variation reveals that intracellular distribution of ELF3 protein is associated with function in the circadian clock

eLife, 2014
Natural selection of variants within the Arabidopsis thaliana circadian clock can be attributed to adaptation to varying environments. To define a basis for such variation, we examined clock speed in a reporter-modified Bay-0 x Shakdara recombinant ...

Heritability and genetic loci of fatty liver in familial combined hyperlipidemia

Journal of Lipid Research, 2006
VLDL overproduction, a process that is driven by an excess amount of hepatic fat, is a well-documented feature of familial combined hyperlipidemia (FCHL).
