Quantitative locus analysis of airway hyperresponsiveness in A/J and C57BL/6J mice.

TL;DR: This study represents the first linkages established through a genome–wide survey of airway hyperresponsiveness in any mammal and shows significant linkage at two loci, Bhr1 and Bhr2 on chromosomes 2 and 15.
Journal ArticleDOI

Developmental Dynamics: Toward a Biologically Plausible Evolutionary Psychology

TL;DR: Recent advances in genetics, embryology, and developmental biology that have transformed contemporary developmental and evolutionary theory are reviewed and how these advances challenge gene-centered explanations of human behavior that ignore the complex, highly coordinated system of regulatory dynamics involved in development and evolution is explored.
Journal ArticleDOI

Individual differences in developmental precision and fluctuating asymmetry: a model and its implications

TL;DR: Data suggest that: (1) the individual differences that underlie the developmental imprecision of different traits are largely shared across traits and not trait‐specific; (2) the heritability of these individual differences may average between 35 and 55%, despite small heritabilities of individual trait FAs; and (3) correlations between FA and fitness traits or components suggest high correlations between underlying variation in developmental precision and fitness in many species.

Gene Mapping in the 20th and 21st Centuries: Statistical Methods, Data Analysis, and Experimental Design

TL;DR: This review of the theory and practice of gene mapping at the close of the 20th century is reviewed, showing that most methods of linkage and linkage disequilibrium analysis are similar in a fundamental sense, with the differences being related more to study design and ascertainment than to technical details of the underlying statistical analysis.
