Genomic Changes in Response to 110 Cycles of Selection for Seed Protein and Oil Concentration in Maize
Identification of the genetic mechanisms underlying phenotypic variation between and within populations is essential to understanding natural selection and evolution. Changes in gene expression are an important source of phenotypic variation and may arise as a result of a combination of cisregulatory and trans-regulatory variation within complex genetic networks (Wittkopp, 2005). This complexit...
متن کاملMolecular and Quantitative Genetics: A Useful Flirtation
Excepting the exact mathematical definition of the infinitesimal model, existing quantitative and population genetic theory is consistent with the existence of segregating quantitative trait loci (QTL) of detectable size in populations long subjected to artificial selection. Evidence is accumulating in livestock, particularly in plants, that a proportion of QTL detected using reasonably stringe...
متن کاملPower Analysis of Artificial Selection Experiments Using Efficient Whole Genome Simulation of Quantitative Traits
Evolve and resequence studies combine artificial selection experiments with massively parallel sequencing technology to study the genetic basis for complex traits. In these experiments, individuals are selected for extreme values of a trait, causing alleles at quantitative trait loci (QTL) to increase or decrease in frequency in the experimental population. We present a new analysis of the powe...
متن کاملGenomic mapping of direct and correlated responses to long-term selection for rapid growth rate in mice.
Understanding the genetic architecture of traits such as growth, body composition, and energy balance has become a primary focus for biomedical and agricultural research. The objective of this study was to map QTL in a large F(2) (n = 1181) population resulting from an intercross between the M16 and ICR lines of mice. The M16 line, developed by long-term selection for 3- to 6-week weight gain, ...
متن کاملA Comparison of the Sensitivity of the BayesC and Genomic Best Linear Unbiased Prediction(GBLUP) Methods of Estimating Genomic Breeding Values under Different Quantitative Trait Locus(QTL) Model Assumptions
The objective of this study was to compare the accuracy of estimating and predicting breeding values using two diverse approaches, GBLUP and BayesC, using simulated data under different quantitative trait locus(QTL) effect distributions. Data were simulated with three different distributions for the QTL effect which were uniform, normal and gamma (1.66, 0.4). The number of QTL was assumed to be...
