Quantitative Genetics in the Genomics Era
The genetic analysis of quantitative or complex traits has been based mainly on statistical quantities such as genetic variances and heritability. These analyses continue to be developed, for example in studies of natural populations. Genomic methods are having an impact on progress and prospects. Actual relationships of individuals can be estimated enabling novel quantitative analyses. Increas...
متن کاملGenetics and immunity in the era of single-cell genomics
Recent developments in the field of single-cell genomics (SCG) are changing our understanding of how functional phenotypes of cell populations emerge from the behaviour of individual cells. Some of the applications of SCG include the discovery of new gene networks and novel cell subpopulations, fine mapping of transcription kinetics, and the relationships between cell clonality and their functi...
متن کاملUnderstanding Quantitative Genetics in the Systems Biology Era
Biology is now entering the new era of systems biology and exerting a growing influence on the future development of various disciplines within life sciences. In early classical and molecular periods of Biology, the theoretical frames of classical and molecular quantitative genetics have been systematically established, respectively. With the new advent of systems biology, there is occurring a ...
متن کاملQuantitative Genetics, Genomics, and the Future of Plant Breeding
Quantitative genetics (in its various guises) has been the intellectual cornerstone of plant breeding for close to 100 years. While the roots of Mendelian genetics, and its rediscovery, are firmly in the hands of plant breeders, it was Fisher's (1918) variance decomposition paper that marks the modern foundation for both quantitative genetics and plant breeding. We are now embarking on the age ...
متن کاملFunctional Genomics Complements Quantitative Genetics in Identifying Disease-Gene Associations
An ultimate goal of genetic research is to understand the connection between genotype and phenotype in order to improve the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. The quantitative genetics field has developed a suite of statistical methods to associate genetic loci with diseases and phenotypes, including quantitative trait loci (QTL) linkage mapping and genome-wide association studies (GWAS). How...
