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.

A genetic basis for mechanosensory traits in humans. [PDF]

PLoS Biology, 2012
In all vertebrates hearing and touch represent two distinct sensory systems that both rely on the transformation of mechanical force into electrical signals.

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 ...

Appetitive operant conditioning in mice: heritability and dissociability of training stages

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2010
To study the heritability of different training stages of appetitive operant conditioning, we carried out behavioural screening of 5 standard inbred mouse strains, 28 recombinant-inbred (BxD) mouse lines and their progenitor strains C57BL/6J and DBA/2J ...

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.

Genetic variability and heritability for quantitative traits in China aster (Callistephus chinensis (L.) Nees.)

Electronic Journal of Plant Breeding, 2021
A field experiment was carried out to estimate genetic variability, heritability and genetic advance for 19 traits among 30 genotypes of China aster. The randomized complete block design with two replications was employed at the College of Horticulture, Mudigere, during the year 2017-18.
