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]
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]
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.

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.
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]
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
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.

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.

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 ...
