The rapid increase in the availability of genomic data has transformed plant breeding by enabling the prediction of complex ...

My post below outlining the possible future of genomics and intelligence made me recall a paper from last fall, Predicting Unobserved Phenotypes for Complex Traits from Whole-Genome SNP Data: Results ...

A Nature Genetics analysis estimated that TWAS assigns the wrong effect direction to 23% of plasma-protein associations and ...

Researchers at the University of Oslo have mapped which parts of our DNA carry the inherited differences behind complex traits and disorders. The more complex the trait, the more of those differences ...

Wings, Horns, and Butterfly Eyespots: How Do Complex Traits Evolve?: Complex traits require co-ordinated expression of many transcription factors and signaling pathways to guide their development.

Nine species of sea snakes have now been identified as having regained the genetic requirements for advanced color vision, demonstrating that once a complex trait has been lost to evolutionary time, ...

Northwestern University biophysicists have developed a new computational tool for identifying gene combinations underlying complex illnesses such as diabetes, cancer, and asthma. Unlike single-gene ...
