An eQTL analysis of partial resistance to Puccinia hordei in barley [PDF]
Background - Genetic resistance to barley leaf rust caused by Puccinia hordei involves both R genes and quantitative trait loci. The R genes provide higher but less durable resistance than the quantitative trait loci. Consequently, exploring quantitative

Drought is one of the most critical abiotic stresses influencing maize yield. Improving maize cultivars with drought tolerance using marker-assisted selection requires a better understanding of its genetic basis.

Prediction of IBD based on population history for fine gene mapping [PDF]
A novel multiple regression method (RM) is developed to predict identity-by-descent probabilities at a locus L (IBDL), among individuals without pedigree, given information on surrounding markers and population history.

Accuracy of multi-trait genomic selection using different methods [PDF]
Background Genomic selection has become a very important tool in animal genetics and is rapidly emerging in plant genetics. It holds the promise to be particularly beneficial to select for traits that are difficult or expensive to measure, such as traits

Identifying QTLs Related to Grain Filling Using a Doubled Haploid Rice (Oryza sativa L.) Population
Grain filling is an important trait of rice that affects the yield of grain-oriented crop species with sink capacity-related traits. Here, we used a doubled haploid (DH) population derived from a cross between 93-11 (P1, indica) and Milyang352 (P2 ...

Quantitative trait loci for bone traits segregating independently of those for growth in an F-2 broiler X layer cross [PDF]
An F-2 broiler-layer cross was phenotyped for 18 skeletal traits at 6, 7 and 9 weeks of age and genotyped with 120 microsatellite markers. Interval mapping identified 61 suggestive and significant QTL on 16 of the 25 linkage groups for 16 traits.

PM20D1 is a quantitative trait locus associated with Alzheimer’s disease [PDF]
The chances to develop Alzheimer's disease (AD) result from a combination of genetic and non-genetic risk factors 1 , the latter likely being mediated by epigenetic mechanisms 2 . In the past, genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified an important number of risk loci associated with AD pathology 3 , but a causal relationship remains ...

Behaviour of the additive finite locus model [PDF]
A finite locus model to estimate additive variance and the breeding values was implemented using Gibbs sampling. Four different distributions for the size of the gene effects across the loci were considered: i) uniform with loci of different effects, ii)

A hierarchical Bayesian approach to multi-trait clinical quantitative trait locus modeling
Recent advances in high-throughput genotyping and transcript profiling technologies have enabled the inexpensive production of genome-wide dense marker maps in tandem with huge amounts of expression profiles.
