Multiple-Line Inference of Selection on Quantitative Traits.
Trait differences between species may be attributable to natural selection. However, quantifying the strength of evidence for selection acting on a particular trait is a difficult task. Here we develop a population genetics test for selection acting on a quantitative trait that is based on multiple-line crosses. We show that using multiple lines increases both the power and the scope of selecti...

متن کاملEffects of multiple retrovirus insertions on quantitative traits of mice.
To assess the potential to generate quantitative genetic variation by insertional mutagenesis in a vertebrate, lines of mice in which many provirus vector inserts segregated at a low initial frequency on an inbred background (insert lines) were subjected to divergent artificial selection on body weight at 6 weeks and responses and heritability estimates compared to control lines lacking inserts...
متن کاملThe Impact of Contextual Clue Selection on Inference
Linguistic information can be conveyed in the form of speech and written text, but it is the content of the message that is ultimately essential for higher-level processes in language comprehension, such as making inferences and associations between text information and knowledge about the world. Linguistically, inference is the shovel that allows receivers to dig meaning out from the text with...
متن کاملStructural Model Analysis of Multiple Quantitative Traits
We introduce a method for the analysis of multilocus, multitrait genetic data that provides an intuitive and precise characterization of genetic architecture. We show that it is possible to infer the magnitude and direction of causal relationships among multiple correlated phenotypes and illustrate the technique using body composition and bone density data from mouse intercross populations. Usi...
