Optimized Group Sequential Study Designs for Tests of Genetic Linkage and Association in Complex Diseases

Inke R. König, +3 more
- 01 Sep 2001 - 
TL;DR: It was shown that the application of a group sequential design led to a maximal increase in sample size of 8% under the null hypothesis, compared with the fixed-sample design, and savings of up to 20% in average sample sizes under the alternative hypothesis, depending on the applied design.

Utility of Quantitative Genetic Parameters in Character Weighting

H. Bradley Shaffer
- 01 Mar 1986 - 
TL;DR: The potential use of parameters estimated from quantitative genetics as a priori weighting factors is explored and several hypothetical examples where purely phenotypic values of characters lead to incorrect phylogenetic conclusions are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gene talk in sociobiology

Henry F. Howe, +1 more
- 01 Apr 1992 - 
TL;DR: The ‘sociobiology’ of human behavior inherits three distinct rhetorics from the genetic disciplines, which Sociobiologists use population genetic, biometrical genetic, and molecular genetic rhetorical practices, without acknowledging the conceptual and experimental constraints that are assumed by geneticists.

Dynamics of Nosema pyrausta in natural populations of the European corn borer, Ostrinia nubilalis : A six-year study

Leslie C. Lewis, +3 more
- 29 Jul 2006 - 
TL;DR: The effect of N. pyrausta within O. nubilalis populations in a continuous corn following corn ecosystem covering a 6 year period was described.

Geographical variation and genetic analysis of leaf shape in Crepis tectorum (Asteraceae)

Stefan Andersson
- 01 Jan 1991 - 
TL;DR: Canonical variate analysis of plants raised in a uniform environment was used to study the pattern of geographical variation in leaf shape ofrepis tectorum (Asteraceae), indicating that most of the variation in degree of leaf dissection is governed by one major gene.
