The ability to predict quantitative trait phenotypes from molecular polymorphism data will revolutionize evolutionary biology, medicine and human biology, and animal and plant breeding. Efforts to map quantitative trait loci have yielded novel insights into the biology of quantitative traits, but the combination of individually significant quantitative trait loci typically has low predictive ab...

In this study, a mixed model method using trait phenotype and marker information was developed for genetic evaluation of animals in a crossbred population originated from several founder genetic groups. The situation in which a cluster of QTLs is located in a particular chromosome region and is marked by two flanking markers is considered. With this method, the conditional expectation of the id...

Protein phosphorylation is one of the most pervasive post-translational modifications, regulating diverse cellular processes in various organisms. As mass spectrometry-based experimental approaches for identifying phosphorylation events are resource-intensive, many computational methods have been proposed, in which phosphorylation site prediction is formulated as a classification problem. They ...
