Trait-trait dynamic interaction: 2D-trait eQTL mapping for genetic variation study [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2008 Background Many studies have shown that the abundance level of gene expression is heritable. Analogous to the traditional genetic study, most researchers treat the expression of one gene as a quantitative trait and map it to expression quantitative trait

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.

An Effective Method to Identify Heritable Components from Multivariate Phenotypes.
PLoS ONE, 2015 Multivariate phenotypes may be characterized collectively by a variety of low level traits, such as in the diagnosis of a disease that relies on multiple disease indicators. Such multivariate phenotypes are often used in genetic association studies.

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 ...

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.

Genome-wide association study of more than 40,000 bipolar disorder cases provides new insights into the underlying biology [PDF]
, 2021 Bipolar disorder is a heritable mental illness with complex etiology. We performed a genome-wide association study of 41,917 bipolar disorder cases and 371,549 controls of European ancestry, which identified 64 associated genomic loci.
