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.

Detection of quantitative trait loci for locomotion and osteochondrosis-related traits in Large White x Meishan pigs. [PDF]

, 2003
Data from the F2 generation of a Large White (LW) 5 Meishan (MS) crossbred population were analysed to detect quantitative trait loci (QTL) for leg and gait scores, osteochondrosis and physis scores.

Epigenetic stress memory for predictive and heritable crop epibreeding

Plant Stress
Abiotic stress remains a major challenge to crop productivity, and plants rely on epigenetic regulation to rapidly adjust gene expression through reversible and heritable mechanisms that determine stress memory and phenotypic traits. The understanding of

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 ...

A QTL for osteoporosis detected in an F2 population derived from White Leghorn chicken lines divergently selected for bone index [PDF]

, 2007
Osteoporosis, resulting from progressive loss of structural bone during the period of egg-laying in hens, is associated with an increased susceptibility to bone breakage.

Missing Heritability in the Tails of Quantitative Traits? A Simulation Study on the Impact of Slightly Altered True Genetic Models [PDF]

, 2011
Objective: Genome-wide association studies have identified robust associations between single nucleotide polymorphisms and complex traits. As the proportion of phenotypic variance explained is still limited for most of the traits, larger and larger meta ...

Admixture mapping of quantitative trait loci for blood lipids in African-Americans [PDF]

, 2009
Blood lipid levels, including low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and triglycerides (TG), are highly heritable traits and major risk factors for atherosclerotic cardiovas-cular disease (CVD).

Quantitative-genetic variation in morphological and physiological traits within a quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides) population

, 2008
Genetic diversity within populations is an important component of adaptive evolution, and recent research has demonstrated that genetic variation within plant populations can have important ecological effects.

Integrative analyses of genetic variation in enzyme activities of primary carbohydrate metabolism reveal distinct modes of regulation in Arabidopsis thaliana [PDF]

, 2008
Background Plant primary carbohydrate metabolism is complex and flexible, and is regulated at many levels. Changes of transcript levels do not always lead to changes in enzyme activities, and these do not always affect metabolite levels and fluxes.
