Joint tests for quantitative trait loci in experimental crosses

Genetics Selection Evolution, 2004
Selective genotyping is common because it can increase the expected correlation between QTL genotype and phenotype and thus increase the statistical power of linkage tests (i.e., regression-based tests).

Rapid adaptation of a polygenic trait after a sudden environmental shift

, 2017
Although a number of studies have shown that natural and laboratory populations initially well-adapted to their environment can evolve rapidly when conditions suddenly change, the dynamics of rapid adaptation are not well understood.

Enabling the study of gene function in gymnosperms: Virus‐induced gene silencing in Ephedra tweedieana

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise As the sister clade to angiosperms, extant gymnosperms are crucial for reconstructing ancestral gene regulatory networks in seed plants. This highlights the need for model systems representing each of their distinct lineages. However, tools to quickly and effectively investigate gene function in gymnosperms are still limited due to the

Mapping quantitative trait loci for kernel composition in almond

BMC Genetics, 2012
Background Almond breeding is increasingly taking into account kernel quality as a breeding objective. Information on the parameters to be considered in evaluating almond quality, such as protein and oil content, as well as oleic acid and tocopherol ...

Fast genetic mapping of complex traits in C. elegans using millions of individuals in bulk. [PDF]

, 2019
Genetic studies of complex traits in animals have been hindered by the need to generate, maintain, and phenotype large panels of recombinant lines. We developed a new method, C.

Role of soft tissue and bone interactions in the developmental integration and modularity of the skull in neural crest‐specific gap junction alpha‐1 knockout mice

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The vertebrate skull is composed of bones derived from neural crest cells and mesoderm. The evolutionary capacity of the skull has been linked, in part, to the emergence of neural crest cells; however, this increased capacity for evolutionary change requires that variation within neural crest‐ and mesoderm‐derived bones remains partly ...

PEMETAAN QUANTITATIVE TRAIT LOCI UNTUK SIFAT BERSKALA KATEGORIK

Jurnal Ilmu Pertanian Indonesia, 2007
Genes or regions on chromosome underlying a quantitative trait are called quantitative trait loci (QTL). Characterizing genes controlling quantitative trait on their position in chromosome and their effect on trait is through a process called QTL mapping.

Molecular genetics of chicken egg quality [PDF]

, 2010
Faultless quality in eggs is important in all production steps, from chicken to packaging, transportation, storage, and finally to the consumer. The egg industry (specifically transportation and packing) is interested in robustness, the consumer in ...

Genome‐Wide DNA Methylation Study Reveals Specific Signatures in the Affected Arterial Tissue of Patients With Giant Cell Arteritis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is a large‐vessel vasculitis, potentially causing complications such as blindness and strokes. This study aims to gain insights into the pathogenesis of GCA by identifying specific DNA methylation signatures in the arterial tissue of patients with this vasculitis. Methods DNA methylation profiling was analyzed in 79

Discovery of loci determining pre-harvest sprouting and dormancy in wheat and barley applying segregation and association mapping

Biologia Plantarum, 2013
Three wheat and two barley populations were studied in order to find loci responsible for dormancy and pre-harvest sprouting. A classical quantitative trait loci analysis was combined with an association mapping approach. Many quantitative trait loci and
