Near-periodic substitution and the genetic variance induced by environmental change [PDF]
We investigate a model that describes the evolution of a diploid sexual population in a changing environment. Individuals have discrete generations and are subject to selection on the phenotypic value of a quantitative trait, which is controlled by a ...

Soybean mosaic virus (SMV) is detrimental to soybean (Glycine max) breeding, seed quality, and yield worldwide. Improving the basic resistance of host plants is the most effective and economical method to reduce damage from SMV.

Genetic interactions contribute less than additive effects to quantitative trait variation in yeast. [PDF]
Genetic mapping studies of quantitative traits typically focus on detecting loci that contribute additively to trait variation. Genetic interactions are often proposed as a contributing factor to trait variation, but the relative contribution of ...

Accounting for genetic interactions improves modeling of individual quantitative trait phenotypes in yeast. [PDF]
Experiments in model organisms report abundant genetic interactions underlying biologically important traits, whereas quantitative genetics theory predicts, and data support, the notion that most genetic variance in populations is additive.

Expression quantitative trait loci are highly sensitive to cellular differentiation state [PDF]
Blood cell development from multipotent hematopoietic stem cells to specialized blood cells is accompanied by drastic changes in gene expression for which the triggers remain mostly unknown.

Life history traits such as fecundity are important to evolution because they make up components of lifetime fitness. Due to their polygenic architectures, such traits are difficult to investigate with genetic mapping.

The Genetic Basis of Mutation Rate Variation in Yeast. [PDF]
Mutations are the root source of genetic variation and underlie the process of evolution. Although the rates at which mutations occur vary considerably between species, little is known about differences within species, or the genetic and molecular basis ...
