SNP Set Association Analysis for Familial Data

TL;DR: The kernel machine framework is extended to accommodate related subjects from multiple independent families, and a score‐based variance component test is provided for assessing the association of a given SNP set with a continuous phenotype, while adjusting for additional covariates and accounting for within‐family correlation.

A saturated map of common genetic variants associated with human height

Loic Yengo, +617 more
- 10 Jan 2022 - 
TL;DR: In this article , the authors show that common single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are predicted to collectively explain 40-50% of phenotypic variation in human height, but identifying the specific variants and associated regions requires huge sample sizes.

Molecular genetic approaches to the study of primate behavior, social organization, and reproduction †

TL;DR: This review describes the theoretical connections between individual behavior and primate social systems on the one hand and population genetic structure on the other, discusses the kinds of molecular markers typically employed in genetic studies of primates, and summarizes what primatologists have learned from molecular studies over the past few decades.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic structure of avian populations--allozymes revisited.

TL;DR: The low levels of population subdivision measured with allozymes in birds seem to reflect historical and demographic processes and would not appear to result from any peculiarities of bird enzymatic loci.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic variation among interconnected populations of Catostomus occidentalis: Implications for distinguishing impacts of contaminants from biogeographical structuring

TL;DR: This work tested whether patterns of genetic variation among native fish populations in the Central Valley of California were consistent with long‐term pesticide exposure history, or primarily with expectations based on biogeography, and stressed the importance of testing contaminant‐induced genetic change hypotheses within a biogeographical context.

Coefficients of Inbreeding and Relationship

TL;DR: The importance of having a coefficient by means of which the degree of inbreeding may be expressed has been brought out by Pearl' in a number of papers published between 1913 and 1917.

The material basis of evolution.

TL;DR: Goldschmidt as discussed by the authors argued that macroevolution resulted from larger jumps in genotype across "bridgeless gaps" related either to systemic mutations or to mutations affecting early development.
