Rank-Based Statistical Methodologies for Quantitative Trait Locus Mapping [PDF]
Genetics, 2003 Abstract This article addresses the identification of genetic loci (QTL and elsewhere) that influence nonnormal quantitative traits with focus on experimental crosses. QTL mapping is typically based on the assumption that the traits follow normal distributions, which may not be true in practice.

Magnetic Textiles: A Review of Materials, Fabrication, Properties, and Applications
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.Magnetic textiles (M‐textiles) are emerging as a programmable materials platform that merges magnetic matter with hierarchical textile structures. This article consolidates magnetic material classes, textile architectures, and fabrication and magnetization strategies, revealing structure–property–function relationships that govern magneto‐mechanical ...

Fast empirical Bayesian LASSO for multiple quantitative trait locus mapping
BMC Bioinformatics, 2011 Background The Bayesian shrinkage technique has been applied to multiple quantitative trait loci (QTLs) mapping to estimate the genetic effects of QTLs on quantitative traits from a very large set of possible effects including the main and epistatic ...

Detection and Mapping of Quantitative Trait Loci that Determine Responsiveness [PDF]
, 2004 Exposure to 70% N2O evokes a robust antinociceptive effect in C57BL/6 (B6) but not in DBA/2 (D2) inbred mice. This study was conducted to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) in the mouse genome that might determine responsiveness to N2O.

Optical Diversity and Nanostructural Organization in the Colored Scales of Sternotomis
Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.Vivid colors in Sternotomis beetles originate from nanoscale photonic architectures embedded within individual scales. Here, we provide a comparative optical and structural analysis of 57 scale types that reveal how ordered, quasi‐ordered, and disordered 3D networks tune color, saturation, and angular response.

Co-regulatory expression quantitative trait loci mapping: method and application to endometrial cancer [PDF]
, 2011 Background Expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) studies have helped identify the genetic determinants of gene expression. Understanding the potential interacting mechanisms underlying such findings, however, is challenging.

Astrocyte Enrichment of 3D Cortical Constructs Enhances Brain Repair
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study highlights the role of astrocytes in supporting neural progenitor cell survival and differentiation after traumatic brain injury. Astrocytes enhanced neuronal differentiation, improved cell survival in co‐cultures, and promoted integration of microfluidics‐based implants with host tissue following implantation. Additionally, increased axonal

Novel Resampling Improves Statistical Power for Multiple-Trait QTL Mapping
G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2017 Multiple-trait analysis typically employs models that associate a quantitative trait locus (QTL) with all of the traits. As a result, statistical power for QTL detection may not be optimal if the QTL contributes to the phenotypic variation in only a ...
