Prediction of genetic values of quantitative traits in plant breeding using pedigree and molecular markers.
The availability of dense molecular markers has made possible the use of genomic selection (GS) for plant breeding. However, the evaluation of models for GS in real plant populations is very limited. This article evaluates the performance of parametric and semiparametric models for GS using wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and maize (Zea mays) data in which different traits were measured in several...
متن کاملGenetic investigation of quantitative behavioral traits
Genetic investigation of quantitative behavioral traits Neuropsychiatric geneticists are now focusing considerable attention on the investigation of quantitative human behavioral traits, postulating that such phenotypes could be more straightforward to genetically map than neuropsychiatric disorders. Such syndromes are among the most complex of human traits, a fact that may explain why efforts ...
متن کاملQ&A: Genetic analysis of quantitative traits
What are quantitative traits? Quantitative, or complex, traits are traits for which phenotypic variation is continuously distributed in natural populations, with population variation often approximating a statistical normal distribution on an appropriate scale. Quantitative traits include aspects of morphology (height, weight); physiology (blood pressure); behavior (aggression); as well as mole...
متن کاملGenetic distances based on quantitative traits.
Morphological data showing continuous distributions, polygenically controlled, may be particularly useful in intergroup classification below the species level; an appropriate distance analysis based on these traits is an important tool in evolutionary biology and in plant and animal breeding.--The interpretation of morphological distances in genetic terms is not easy because simple phenotypic d...
متن کاملUncovering the Genetic Architectures of Quantitative Traits
The aim of a genome-wide association study (GWAS) is to identify loci in the human genome affecting a phenotype of interest. This review summarizes some recent work on conceptual and methodological aspects of GWAS. The average effect of gene substitution at a given causal site in the genome is the key estimand in GWAS, and we argue for its fundamental importance. Implicit in the definition of a...
