• A quantitative trait locus (QTL) is a region of DNA which is associated with a particular phenotypic trait, which varies in degree and which can be attributed to polygenic effects, i.e., the product of two or more genes, and their environment. (wikipedia.org)
  • The number of QTLs which explain variation in the phenotypic trait indicates the genetic architecture of a trait. (wikipedia.org)
  • Moreover, a single phenotypic trait is usually determined by many genes. (wikipedia.org)

  • Research shows that an individual's personality traits are a strong predictor of individual political preferences. (cepr.org)
  • 2008). When it comes to voting outcomes, there is clear evidence indicating that individual personality traits matter for individual political attitudes and outcomes (Gerber et al. (cepr.org)
  • Crucially, not only do personality traits explain individual voting behavior, but research also shows that individual personality traits tend to be regionally clustered (Rentfrow et al. (cepr.org)
  • The mechanism that is of particular relevance to understanding regional voting behaviour is the role of social influence, which implies that a region's long-standing social traditions and practices gradually shape social norms, which in turn affect people's personality traits (Rentfrow et al. (cepr.org)
  • 2015). There is strong evidence that variations in these personality traits across regions are associated with a wide array of regional economic indicators (Garretsen et al. (cepr.org)

  • Castle's was perhaps the first attempt made in the scientific literature to direct evolution by artificial selection of a trait with continuous underlying variation, however the practice had previously been widely employed in the development of agriculture to obtain livestock or plants with favorable features from populations that show quantitative variation in traits like body size or grain yield. (wikipedia.org)
  • Wright and others formalized population genetics theory that had been worked out over the preceding 30 years explaining how such traits can be inherited and create stably breeding populations with unique characteristics. (wikipedia.org)

  • Like most aspects of human behavior and cognition, intelligence is a complex trait that is influenced by both genetic and environmental factors. (medlineplus.gov)

  • Typically, QTLs underlie continuous traits (those traits which vary continuously, e.g. height) as opposed to discrete traits (traits that have two or several character values, e.g. red hair in humans, a recessive trait, or smooth vs. wrinkled peas used by Mendel in his experiments). (wikipedia.org)
  • Of the 20 requests that met the definition of a restricted experiment, 8 were denied because the experiments had the potential to compromise disease control in humans. (cdc.gov)
  • Currently, 3 types of experiments meet the regulatory definition of a restricted experiment (42 CFR 73.13). (cdc.gov)
  • Experiments that involve the deliberate transfer of, or selection for, a drug (or chemical) resistance trait to select agents that are not known to acquire the trait naturally, if such acquisition could compromise the control of disease agents in humans, veterinary medicine, or agriculture (ie, the transfer of drug-resistant traits into select agents). (cdc.gov)

  • Still, it would be almost thirty years until the theoretical framework for evolution of complex traits would be widely formalized. (wikipedia.org)
  • To make it an integrative and useful framework for urban studies and policy/practice, traits need to be easy to recognise and relevant to decision makers across scales and in different contexts. (nature.com)
  • DSAT continues to encourage entities to practice due diligence and request a review of research that could potentially meet the regulatory definition of a restricted experiment out of an abundance of caution to protect public health and safety and prevent any potential compliance action.

  • This is often an early step in identifying the actual genes that cause the trait variation. (wikipedia.org)
  • Another use of QTLs is to identify candidate genes underlying a trait. (wikipedia.org)
  • Castle's conclusion was based on the observation that novel traits that could be studied in the lab and that show Mendelian inheritance patterns reflect a large deviation from the wild type, and Castle believed that acquisition of such features is the basis of "discontinuous variation" that characterizes speciation.
