Heritability and quantitative genetic divergence of serotiny, a fire-persistence plant trait [PDF]
Annals of Botany, 2014 Although it is well known that fire acts as a selective pressure shaping plant phenotypes, there are no quantitative estimates of the heritability of any trait related to plant persistence under recurrent fires, such as serotiny. In this study, the heritability of serotiny in Pinus halepensis is calculated, and an evaluation is made as to whether fire ...

Genetics Selection Evolution, 2022 Background Phosphorus is an essential nutrient in all living organisms and, currently, it is the focus of much attention due to its global scarcity, the environmental impact of phosphorus from excreta, and its low digestibility due to its storage in the ...

Understanding Disease Susceptibility through Population Genomics [PDF]
Genomics & Informatics, 2012 Genetic epidemiology studies have established that the natural variation of gene expression profiles is heritable and has genetic bases. A number of proximal and remote DNA variations, known as expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs), that are ...

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.

Developmental and genetic effects on behavioral and life‐history traits in a field cricket
Ecology and Evolution, 2019 A fundamental goal of evolutionary ecology is to identify the sources underlying trait variation on which selection can act. Phenotypic variation will be determined by both genetic and environmental factors, and adaptive phenotypic plasticity is expected

Biased estimators of quantitative trait locus heritability and location in interval mapping [PDF]
Heredity, 2005 In many empirical studies, it has been observed that genome scans yield biased estimates of heritability, as well as genetic effects. It is widely accepted that quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping is a model selection procedure, and that the overestimation of genetic effects is the result of using the same data for model selection as estimation of ...

Gene expression genetics of the striatum of Diversity Outbred mice
Scientific Data, 2023 Brain transcriptional variation is a heritable trait that mediates complex behaviors, including addiction. Expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL) mapping reveals genomic regions harboring genetic variants that influence transcript abundance.
