Mapping of quantitative trait loci for body weight at three, six, and nine weeks of age in a broiler layer cross.

TL;DR: An F2 chicken population was established from a cross of a broiler sire-line and an egg laying (White Leghorn) line, and genetic effects were generally additive, and the broiler allele increased body weight in all cases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Maximum likelihood mapping of quantitative trait loci using full-sib families.

TL;DR: A maximum likelihood method is presented for the detection of quantitative trait loci (QTL) using flanking markers in full-sib families and this method incorporates a random component for common family effects due to additional QTL or the environment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetical genomics in humans and model organisms

TL;DR: It is concluded that, although the studies in model species successfully demonstrate the utility of genetical genomics, they are too limited to unlock the full potential of this approach and some results should be interpreted with caution.

Directional dominance on stature and cognition in diverse human populations

Peter K. Joshi, +358 more
- 23 Jul 2015 - 
TL;DR: This study provides evidence that increased stature and cognitive function have been positively selected in human evolution, whereas many important risk factors for late-onset complex diseases may not have been.
