Population genetic variation in genome-wide gene expression.
Evolutionary biologists seek to understand which traits display variation, are heritable, and influence differential reproduction, because such traits respond to natural selection and underlie organic evolution. Selection acts upon individual differences within a population. Whether individual differences within a natural population include variation in gene expression levels has not yet been a...
متن کاملGenome-Wide Associations of Gene Expression Variation in Humans
The exploration of quantitative variation in human populations has become one of the major priorities for medical genetics. The successful identification of variants that contribute to complex traits is highly dependent on reliable assays and genetic maps. We have performed a genome-wide quantitative trait analysis of 630 genes in 60 unrelated Utah residents with ancestry from Northern and West...
متن کاملIntegrating genetic and gene expression evidence into genome-wide association
2 1 2 2 Single variant or single gene analyses generally account for only a small proportion of the phenotypic 2 3 variation in complex traits. Alternatively, gene set or pathway association analyses are playing an 2 4 increasingly important role in uncovering genetic architectures of complex traits through the identification 2 5 of systematic genetic interactions. Two dominant paradigms for ge...
متن کاملGenetic Variation and Population Substructure in Outbred CD-1 Mice: Implications for Genome-Wide Association Studies
Outbred laboratory mouse populations are widely used in biomedical research. Since little is known about the degree of genetic variation present in these populations, they are not widely used for genetic studies. Commercially available outbred CD-1 mice are drawn from an extremely large breeding population that has accumulated many recombination events, which is desirable for genome-wide associ...
متن کاملGenome-Wide Transcription Analysis of Clinal Genetic Variation in Drosophila
Clinal variation in quantitative traits is widespread, but its genetic basis awaits identification. Drosophila melanogaster shows adaptive, clinal variation in traits such as body size along latitudinal gradients on multiple continents. To investigate genome wide transcription differentiation between North and South that might contribute to the clinal phenotypic variation, we compared RNA expre...
