Unraveling the Genetic Architecture of Complex Traits in Plants
Complex traits are those whose inheritance does not follow simple and predictable patterns. They are not governed by a single locus, instead, they are determined by several loci and are influenced by the environment.

Multiple locus linkage analysis of genomewide expression in yeast. [PDF]
With the ability to measure thousands of related phenotypes from a single biological sample, it is now feasible to genetically dissect systems-level biological phenomena.

There is increasing evidence that many risk loci found using genome-wide association studies are molecular quantitative trait loci (QTLs). Here we introduce a new set of functional annotations based on causal posterior probabilities of fine-mapped ...

A Powerful New Quantitative Genetics Platform, Combining Caenorhabditis elegans High-Throughput Fitness Assays with a Large Collection of Recombinant Strains. [PDF]
The genetic variants underlying complex traits are often elusive even in powerful model organisms such as Caenorhabditis elegans with controlled genetic backgrounds and environmental conditions.

Genetic influences on gene expression in the human fetal brain plausibly impact upon a variety of postnatal brain-related traits, including susceptibility to neuropsychiatric disorders. However, to date, there have been no studies that have mapped genome-

An enormous challenge in the post-genome era is to annotate and resolve the consequences of genetic variation on diverse phenotypes. The genome-wide association study (GWAS) is a well-known method to identify potential genetic loci for complex traits ...

Genetic regulation of cholesterol absorption and plasma plant sterol levels
The molecular basis of the processes that control two closely related traits, the absorption of cholesterol from the intestines and plasma plant sterol levels, are only partially understood. The discovery that mutations in two novel hemitransporters, ATP

Root architectural traits are governed by many genes exhibiting polygenic inheritance. The dissection of the genetic basis of root traits could be achieved by mapping of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) using molecular markers.

Prioritizing quantitative trait loci for root system architecture in tetraploid wheat
Optimization of root system architecture (RSA) traits is an important objective for modern wheat breeding. Linkage and association mapping for RSA in two recombinant inbred line populations and one association mapping panel of 183 elite durum wheat ...
