Genetics in practice : applications of quantitative genetics to environment and educational pursuits
"The ability to elucidate quantitative trait architecture and introduce potentially beneficial traits makes introgression a useful tool. Unfortunately, due to the nature of inheritance there are certainly limitations to the usefulness of this approach for introducing quantitative traits to a …

Statistical approaches to population genetics
… with the statistical approach to population genetics. The genetical characteristics of the population under consideration are the population size and the gene frequencies. The limitations on the population are (a) the individuals are either all haploids or all diploids; (b) the alleles are …

Conservation genetics of Australian quolls
As carnivorous marsupials, quolls are keystone species crucial to ecosystem health. Although opportunistic and adaptable, anthropogenic disturbance has led to severe population declines. In response, captive breeding and translocation programs were implemented in an attempt to mitigate extinction …

Genetics of Maize Inflorescence Architecture
Maize inflorescences have become a model system for functional genomics from agronomic, developmental, and evolutionary viewpoints. The purpose of this research was to gain deeper insights into genetic control of quantitative variation for maize inflorescence architecture. Two biparental …

Conservation genetics of African elephants
… of historical elephant population ecology and genetics. Here I show that contemporary West African forest elephant populations have limited genetic diversity compared to the genetic diversity found in historical populations. Chapter 4 highlights the need for proactive and preventative …

Conservation Genetics of Gar (Atractosteus spp.)
<p>The alligator gar (<em>Atractosteus spatula</em>) is a large-bodied species of fish that historically was widely distributed in coastal drainages around the Gulf of Mexico and well north in the Mississippi River basin. Currently this species is experiencing population declines across much of its …

The Genetics of General Cognitive Ability
… reports the results of three studies of the genetics of GCA, conducted with participants from the Minnesota Center for Twin & Family Research (MCTFR). Study #1 (N = 7,100) is a genome-wide association study plus other analyses that exploit genome-wide single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) …

Middle ear development: Genetics and disease
The mammalian middle ear is composed of three bony ossicles, the malleus, incus, and stapes that function to conduct sound from the external to the inner ear. Normal development of middle ear structures is integral for transduction of sound, defects resulting in conductive deafness. Mice are …

Molecular genetics of abdominal aortic aneurysm
Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a common disorder and a major cause of death. Pathological processes involved in AAA formation include inflammation, proteolysis, angiogenesis and apoptosis. It has also a strong familial predisposition with linkage studies identifying chromosomes 19q13 and 4q31 …

Human Cellular Genetics of Innate Immunity
The type I interferon response is a key part of the innate immune system, responding to infection and inducing an antiviral intracellular state. While there is known to be variability in this signalling pathway between individuals, alongside cell-to-cell heterogeneity in a genetically identical …

Understanding the epigenome using system genetics
Genetics has been successful in associating DNA sequence variants to both dichotomous and continuous traits in a variety of organisms, from plant and farm animal studies to human disease. With the advent of high-throughput genotyping, there has been an almost routine gen- eration of genome-wide …

Genetics of Cerebral Small Vessel Disease
Cerebral small vessel disease (SVD) is a leading cause of stroke and vascular dementia. The majority of cases are sporadic, occurring in the elderly hypertensive population. However, there also exist patients with familial disease. The most common form is Cerebral Autosomal Dominant Arteriopathy …
