Quantitative trait locus mapping of soybean maturity gene E5
Time to flowering and maturity in soybean is controlled by loci E1 to E5, and E7 to E9. These loci were assigned to molecular linkage groups (MLGs) except for E5. This study was conducted to map the E5 locus using F2 populations expected to segregate for

Localization of multiple pleiotropic genes for lipoprotein metabolism in baboons[S]
We employed a novel approach to identify the key loci that harbor genes influencing lipoprotein metabolism in approximately 2,000 pedigreed baboons fed various diets differing in levels of fat and cholesterol.

Semiparametric Quantitative-Trait-Locus Mapping: I. on Functional Growth Curves [PDF]
The genetic study of certain quantitative traits in growth curves as a function of time has recently been of major scientific interest to explore the developmental evolution processes of biological subjects.

Rapid adaptation of a polygenic trait after a sudden environmental shift
Although a number of studies have shown that natural and laboratory populations initially well-adapted to their environment can evolve rapidly when conditions suddenly change, the dynamics of rapid adaptation are not well understood.

forqs: Forward-in-time Simulation of Recombination, Quantitative Traits, and Selection [PDF]
forqs is a forward-in-time simulation of recombination, quantitative traits, and selection. It was designed to investigate haplotype patterns resulting from scenarios where substantial evolutionary change has taken place in a small number of generations ...

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.

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.

Experimental harvesting of fish populations drives genetically based shifts in body size and maturation [PDF]
Size-selective harvesting in commercial fisheries can induce rapid changes in biological traits. While experimental and wild harvested populations often exhibit clear shifts in body size and maturation associated with fishing pressure, the relative ...
