Assortative mating, or the tendency for individuals with similar phenotypes to mate more frequently than expected by chance, has been reported for a variety of complex traits, including many neuropsychiatric disorders. Although... more
Morphological integration refers to the modular structuring of inter-trait relationships in an organism, which could bias the direction and rate of morphological change, either constraining or facilitating evolution along certain... more
We develop a Bayesian mixed linear model that simultaneously estimates single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-based heritability, polygenicity (proportion of SNPs with nonzero effects), and the relationship between SNP effect size and minor... more
Grain yield is a complex trait, strongly influenced by the environment: severe losses can be caused by drought, a stress common in most maize-growing areas, including temperate climatic zones. Accordingly, drought tolerance is one of the... more
To understand the genetic epidemiology of obesity and cancer means to consider the genetics of not only these two complex diseases but also the many risk factors associated with them and the molecular mechanisms likely to contribute to... more
Androgenic responses of 10 F1 wheat hybrids and 13 parental genotypes were studied. It was observed that the studied androgenic traits (androgenic capacity, callus yield, and frequency of green plants) were genotype dependent. On average... more
The success of genome-wide association (GWA) studies for the detection of sequence variation affecting complex traits in human has spurred interest in the use of large-scale high-density single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping for... more
