Genetic Algorithms for Genetic Mapping

Constructing genetic maps is a prerequisite for most in-depth genetic studies of an organism. The problem of constructing reliable genetic maps for any organism can be considered as a complex optimization problem with both discrete and continuous parameters. This paper shows how genetic algorithms can been used to tackle this problem on simple pedigree. The approach is embodied in an hybrid alg...

A New Method for Color Gamut Mapping by Genetic Algorithm

To reproduce an image, it is necessary to map out of gamut colors of the image to destination gamut. It is clear that the best color gamut mapping introduces the perceptually closest image to the original one. In this study, a new color gamut mapping is purposed by the aid of Genetic Algorithm (GA). The color difference between the original and mapped images based on S-LAB formula was chosen as...

Shape mapping: genetic mapping meets geometric morphometrics

Knowledge about biological shape has important implications in biology and biomedicine, but the underlying genetic mechanisms for shape variation have not been well studied. Statistical models play a pivotal role in mapping specific quantitative trait loci (QTLs) that contribute to biological shape and its developmental trajectories. We describe and assess a statistical framework for shape gene...

Fine Genetic Mapping

An advanced intercrossed line (AIL) is an experimental population that can provide more accurate estimates of quantitative trait loci (QTL) map location than conventional mapping populations. An AIL is produced by randomly and sequentially intercrossing a population that initially originated from a cross between two inbred lines or some variant thereof. This provides increasing probability of r...
