Endocranial volume is variable and heritable, but not related to fitness, in a free-ranging primate

Scientific Reports, 2021
Large relative brain size is a defining characteristic of the order Primates. Arguably, this can be attributed to selection for behavioral aptitudes linked to a larger brain size.

Identification of Quantitative Trait Loci Determining Vegetative Growth Traits in Coffea canephor [PDF]

Coffee and Cocoa Research Journal, 2011
Recently the use of molecular markers has been successfully applied for some crops. For coffee, new opportunities have been opened since Nestlé R&D Centre in collaboration with ICCRI completed the first genetic map of Coffea canephora.

Expression quantitative trait loci are highly sensitive to cellular differentiation state [PDF]

, 2009
Blood cell development from multipotent hematopoietic stem cells to specialized blood cells is accompanied by drastic changes in gene expression for which the triggers remain mostly unknown.

Heritability of bipolar affective disorder: Family study [PDF]

Vojnosanitetski Pregled, 2011
Background/Aim. Bipolar affective disorder is mental disorder with polygenic type of heredity. Heritability - relation between genetic and environmental variance is used to estimate the level of influence of genetic variance to phenotype variance ...

Genome wide association study of thyroid hormone levels following challenge with porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus

Frontiers in Genetics, 2023
Introduction: Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) causes respiratory disease in piglets and reproductive disease in sows. Piglet and fetal serum thyroid hormone (i.e., T3 and T4) levels decrease rapidly in response to Porcine ...

Quantitative trait loci and transcriptome signatures associated with avian heritable resistance to Campylobacter

Scientific Reports, 2021
Campylobacter is the leading cause of bacterial foodborne gastroenteritis worldwide. Handling or consumption of contaminated poultry meat is a key risk factor for human campylobacteriosis.

Capturing indirect genetic effects on phenotypic variability: Competition meets canalization

Evolutionary Applications, 2022
Phenotypic variability of a genotype is relevant both in natural and domestic populations. In the past two decades, variability has been studied as a heritable quantitative genetic trait in its own right, often referred to as inherited variability or ...

Mapping determinants of gene expression plasticity by genetical genomics in C. elegans. [PDF]

PLoS Genetics, 2006
Recent genetical genomics studies have provided intimate views on gene regulatory networks. Gene expression variations between genetically different individuals have been mapped to the causal regulatory regions, termed expression quantitative trait loci.

Anterior chamber depth in mice is controlled by several quantitative trait loci.

PLoS ONE, 2023
Anterior chamber depth (ACD) is a quantitative trait associated with primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG). Although ACD is highly heritable, known genetic variations explain a small fraction of the phenotypic variability.
