Epigenetic contribution to covariance between relatives.
Recent research has pointed to the ubiquity and abundance of between-generation epigenetic inheritance. This research has implications for assessing disease risk and the responses to ecological stresses and also for understanding evolutionary dynamics. An important step toward a general evaluation of these implications is the identification and estimation of the amount of heritable, epigenetic ...
متن کاملGenetic and epigenetic contribution to complex traits.
Much of the recent advances in functional genomics owe to developments in next-generation sequencing technology, which has contributed to the exponential increase of genomic data available for different human disease and population samples. With functional sequencing assays available to query both the transcriptome and the epigenome, annotation of the non-coding, regulatory genome is steadily i...
متن کاملA General Linear Model for the Genotypic Covariance Between Relatives Under Assortative Mating*
A linear model for the genotypic covariance between relatives under assortative mating comprising the "classical linear model" and the model of "selective assortative mating" is proposed. The general conditions on the genetical and developmental mechanisms of quantitative characters, as well as on selection and the mating system, on which the model is based, are explicitly stated and discussed....
متن کاملVariance and Covariance of Actual Relationships between Relatives at One Locus
The relationship between pairs of individuals is an important topic in many areas of population and quantitative genetics. It is usually measured as the proportion of the genome identical by descent shared by the pair and it can be inferred from pedigree information. But there is a variance in actual relationships as a consequence of mendelian sampling, whose general formula has not been develo...
متن کاملEpigenetic regulation - contribution to herbicide resistance in weeds?
Continuous use of herbicides has resulted in the evolution of resistance to all major herbicide modes of action worldwide. Besides the well-documented cases of newly acquired resistance through genetic changes, epigenetic regulation may also contribute to herbicide resistance in weeds. Epigenetics involves processes that modify the expression of specific genetic elements without changes in the ...
