Maize Genetics 2000—And Beyond

Maize Genetics 2003.

The genetics of maize evolution.

Maize and its closest wild relatives, the teosintes, differ strikingly in the morphology of their female inflorescences or ears. Despite their divergent morphologies, several studies indicate that some varieties of teosinte are cytologically indistinguishable from maize and capable of forming fully fertile hybrids with maize. Molecular analyses identified one form of teosinte (Zea mays ssp. par...

Beyond SAS / GENETICS

The field of statistical genetics has developed considerably over the past five years due to the substantial advances in genomic technology. The volume and the nature of these data create a need for reliable computer software to perform statistical analyses. SAS/GENETICS offers a collection of procedures specifically tailored for genetic data such as ALLELE, HAPLOTYPE, CASECONTROL and FAMILY pr...

Complex Trait Genetics Beyond Additivity

Forsberg, S. 2016. Complex Trait Genetics. Beyond Additivity. Digital Comprehensive Summaries of Uppsala Dissertations from the Faculty of Medicine 1278. 45 pp. Uppsala: Acta Universitatis Upsaliensis. ISBN 978-91-554-9754-5. The link between the genotype and the phenotype of an organism is immensely complex. Despite this it can, to a great extent, be captured using models that assume that gene...

Genetics Beyond Diabetes and Baldness

Previously the concept of genetics was applied to a limited number of diseases with obvious phenotypes where simple people use to observe and relate. It was never easy to establish a clear cut of heritability range between genetic variation and a risk of suffering from a complex disorder due to many reasons including but not limited to; gene variations, non-linear interactions between genetic v...
