Using Extended Genealogy to Estimate Components of Heritability for 23 Quantitative and Dichotomous Traits
Important knowledge about the determinants of complex human phenotypes can be obtained from the estimation of heritability, the fraction of phenotypic variation in a population that is determined by genetic factors. Here, we make use of extensive phenotype data in Iceland, long-range phased genotypes, and a population-wide genealogical database to examine the heritability of 11 quantitative and...

آب حاصل از بارش منبع تأمین نیازهای بی شمار جانداران به ویژه انسان است و هرگونه کاهش در کم و کیف آن مستقیماً حیات موجودات زنده را تحت تأثیر منفی قرار می دهد. نوسان سال به سال بارش از ویژگی های اساسی و بسیار مهم بارش های سالانه ایران محسوب می شود که آثار زیان بار آن در تمام عرصه های اقتصادی، اجتماعی و حتی سیاسی- امنیتی به نحوی منعکس می شود. چون میزان آب ناشی از بارش یکی از مولفه های اصلی برنامه ...
15 صفحه اولIdentifying variants that contribute to linkage for dichotomous and quantitative traits in extended pedigrees
Compared to genome-wide association analysis, linkage analysis is less influenced by allelic heterogeneity. The use of linkage information in large families should provide a great opportunity to identify less frequent variants. We perform a linkage scan for both dichotomous and quantitative traits in eight extended families. For the dichotomous trait, we identified one linkage region on chromos...
متن کاملPrincipal components of heritability for high dimension quantitative traits and general pedigrees.
For many complex disorders, genetically relevant disease definition is still unclear. For this reason, researchers tend to collect large numbers of items related directly or indirectly to the disease diagnostic. Since the measured traits may not be all influenced by genetic factors, researchers are faced with the problem of choosing which traits or combinations of traits to consider in linkage ...
متن کاملHeritability and Diversity Analysis of Quantitative Traits in Rice
Genetic diversity is prerequisite for any crop improvement program as it helps breeders in the development of superior recombinants. Th is study was conducted with the aim of evaluating genetic parameters and phenotypic divergence in a germplasm consisted of twenty rice varieties. High estimates of heritability coupled with high genetic advance found for total grains per panicle, fi lled grains...
