The ecology and quantitative genetics of seed and seedling traits in upland and lowland ecotypes of a perennial grass

open access: yesEvolution Letters, Volume 6, Issue 6, Page 460-473, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Plants have evolved diverse reproductive allocation strategies and seed traits to aid in dispersal, persistence in the seed bank, and establishment. In particular, seed size, dormancy, and early seedling vigor are thought to be key functional traits with important recruitment and fitness consequences across abiotic stress gradients.

Accounting for genetic interactions improves modeling of individual quantitative trait phenotypes in yeast. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
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.

MAPfastR: Quantitative Trait Loci Mapping in Outbred Line Crosses [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
MAPfastR is a software package developed to analyze quantitative trait loci data from inbred and outbred line-crosses. The package includes a number of modules for fast and accurate quantitative trait loci analyses.

Malignant progression of liver cancer progenitors requires lysine acetyltransferase 7–acetylated and cytoplasm‐translocated G protein GαS

open access: yesHepatology, EarlyView., 2022
KAT7‐acetylated and cytoplasm‐translocated G‐protein GαS enhances IL‐6 effect and drives HCC progenitor cell progression. Abstract Background and Aims Hepatocarcinogenesis goes through HCC progenitor cells (HcPCs) to fully established HCC, and the mechanisms driving the development of HcPCs are still largely unknown.

Population differences in transcript-regulator expression quantitative trait loci.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Gene expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) are useful for identifying single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with diseases. At times, a genetic variant may be associated with a master regulator involved in the manifestation of a disease ...

The Genetic Basis of Mutation Rate Variation in Yeast. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
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 ...

The next 10 years of behavioural genomic research

open access: yesJCPP Advances, Volume 2, Issue 4, December 2022., 2022
Three transformative developments for behavioural genomic research in the next 10 years are described. First, behavioural genomic research will use dimensional measures to reveal the hierarchical genetic architecture of psychopathology. A second direction for behavioural genomic research will be to investigate causa models of GE interplay.

Methylation quantitative trait loci in the developing brain and their enrichment in schizophrenia-associated genomic regions

open access: yesNature Neuroscience, 2015
We characterized DNA methylation quantitative trait loci (mQTLs) in a large collection (n = 166) of human fetal brain samples spanning 56–166 d post-conception, identifying >16,000 fetal brain mQTLs.

Exploring the expanse between theoretical questions and experimental approaches in the modern study of evolvability

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, Volume 340, Issue 1, Page 8-17, January 2023., 2023
Experimental tests of theories about evolvability have largely been limited to examining the mechanisms by which genetic variation is produced; namely, mutation, and recombination. However, evolvability theory has a much broader domain, and opportunities abound to test ideas about developmental variability, environmental heterogeneity, and the ...
