In all populations, we observed a reduction in the narrow-sense heritability of all evaluated traits when dominance effects were accounted for (e.g., using MAD instead of MA). The smallest decrease in narrow-sense heritability was observed for number of teats (4.2%) and the highest for lifetime daily gain (21.3%), both in the Landrace population (Table 3). The broad-sense heritability (sum of the heritabilities due to all genetic effects used in the model) of all evaluated traits increased in all three populations when dominance and imprinting effects were added to the model. The broad-sense heritability of lifetime daily gain was ,30% greater when using MADI compared to using MA (Table 3, Table 4, and Table 5). A reduction of additive genetic variance and an increase in the broad-sense heritability was previously reported (Su et al. 2012) when nonadditive genetic effects were included in the model to evaluate daily gain in pigs. For height in trees, the narrow-sense heritability was found to ...

R = h2 S. R is the response to selection, S is the selection differential, and h2 is the narrow-sense heritability. This is the workhorse equation for quantitative genetics. The selective differential S, is the difference between the population mean and the mean of the parental population (some subset of the total population). For example,…

Just as there are people who are rare in the world of human beings, there are dogs that stand out in the dog world because of something unusual about them. Basenji Did you know there is a dog who cannot bark? He is called a Basenji. No one knows why he does not bark like other dogs, but this fellow gives sharp little cries that sound like a Swiss yodel. Because he did not bark to frighten the game away, and because be had such a very keen sense of smell that he could scent as far as eighty yards, he was used long ago in Africa to hunt rats, to retrieve, and to drive small wild game into nets.

Treatable traits have been proposed as a new paradigm for the management of airway diseases, particularly complex disease, which aims to apply personalised medicine to each individual to improve outcomes. Moving new treatment approaches from concepts to practice is challenging, but necessary. In an effort to accelerate progress in research and practice relating to the treatable traits approach, the Treatable Traits Down Under International Workshop was convened in Melbourne, Australia in May 2018. Here, we report the key concepts and research questions that emerged in discussions during the meeting. We propose a programme of research that involves gaining international consensus on candidate traits, recognising the prevalence of traits, and identifying a potential hierarchy of traits based on their clinical impact and responsiveness to treatment. We also reflect on research methods and designs that can generate new knowledge related to efficacy of the treatable traits approach and consider ...

In the mainstream press, heritability of a trait is interpreted as percentage of that trait inherited and dictated by genes. To begin with, this is a profound misunderstanding of the scientific meaning of heritability, which applies at the level of population variance only, and is irrelevant to the level of a trait in any particular individual. When combined with the fact that the use of heritability in science is beset with the problems stated above, were left with a public that is ill-informed about overly simplistic scientific applications and interpretations. This is not to suggest that heritability studies are useless. But it does suggest that much communication about them is , at present, a significant hindrance to the popular understanding of genes and their influence on the formation of traits ...

There are multiple opinions about the best way to take a custom shade. After seeing about 10 patients a month for the past decade or so, the author has developed a system that works best for him. Which area of the tooth does he notice first? Initially, he will see the dentin, then the translucency and enamel overlay, and, finally, he will check the mamelon. Memory does not always serve well when recalling a patients special characteristics so the author relies on immediate photographs and custom shade documentation for best results. He has also noticed that beginning work on the patients case the same day as the consultation will produce a better restoration. Why? Every individual trait about the teeth is fresh in his mind at that time, and will be re-created more accurately. Little characteristics become big when they are all put together, and without them, the crown will not match the adjacent teeth. Mamelon is one of those little characteristics that will define a persons shade; if it is ...

Life history traits such as fecundity are important to evolution because they make up components of lifetime fitness. Due to their polygenic architectures, such traits are difficult to investigate with genetic mapping. Therefore, little is known about their molecular basis. One possible way toward finding the underlying genes is to map intermediary molecular phenotypes, such as gene expression traits. We set out to map candidate quantitative trait genes for egg fecundity in the chicken by combining quantitative trait locus mapping in an advanced intercross of wild by domestic chickens with expression quantitative trait locus mapping in the same birds. We measured individual egg fecundity in 232 intercross chickens in two consecutive trials, the second one aimed at measuring brooding. We found 12 loci for different aspects of egg fecundity. We then combined the genomic confidence intervals of these loci with expression quantitative trait loci from bone and hypothalamus in the same intercross. ...

REGULARIZATION or shrinkage methods are gaining increasing recognition as a valuable alternative to variable selection techniques in dealing with oversaturated or otherwise ill-defined regression problems in both the classical and Bayesian frameworks (e.g., Ohara and Sillanpää 2009). Many studies (e.g., Xu 2003; Wang et al. 2005; Zhang and Xu 2005; De los Campos et al. 2009; Usai et al. 2009; Wu et al. 2009; Xu et al. 2009) have documented the potential of shrinkage methods for quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping and genomic breeding value (GBV) estimation using genome-wide dense sets of markers. Lee et al. (2008) make a clear connection between phenotype prediction and GBV estimation, suggesting that methods developed for one are also applicable to the other. We thus use the two concepts interchangeably throughout this article.. Regularized regression methods, such as ridge regression (Hoerl and Kennard 1970) or the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) (Tibshirani ...

Author Summary There has been a great amount of debate over the relative importance of additivity and non-additivity in quantitative trait variation. The main argument supporting the importance of additivity is the observation that the additive component of genetic variance is much greater than non-additive variance components, while the main argument supporting the importance of non-additivity is the identification of many non-additive effects in genetic mapping studies. By recapitulating many classical results and introducing new alternative parameterizations of genetic effects, we point out some of the common mistakes and misleading arguments in using variance component analyses to infer genetic architecture, specifically the gene actions of QTLs. Because of the wide applications of variance component analyses, our study has profound implications and clarifies some of the most confusing concepts in quantitative genetics in the genomics era.

N2 - Withers height is an important economic trait for the American Miniature Horses (AMHs) as the breeders primary objective is to produce small and proportionate animals. Identification of Quantitative Trait Loci (QTLs) affecting height in this breed will result in a better understanding of the genetic architecture and biological pathways contributing to skeletal development. In earlier work, we genotyped 48 horses from 16 different breeds that represent extremes in body size, using the Equine SNP50 bead chip (Illumina Inc). In this study, we applied a dominant model Genome-wide association study (GWAS), a genome-wide fixation index (FST) estimation, as well as a ...

PANELS of recombinant inbred (RI) lines, generated by either recurrent sib mating or selfing, constitute a valuable resource for the genetic dissection of quantitative traits and particularly for the mapping of quantitative trait loci (QTL) (Bailey 1971; Swank and Bailey 1973; Watson et al. 1977; Plomin et al. 1991b). With RI panels, as with other true-breeding populations such as panels of doubled haploid (DH) lines, marker genotypes need be measured only once and the trait value for a given genotype can be measured in replicated individuals. The same panel can be used by different investigators and at different times, permitting the dissection of multiple correlated traits even when such traits are measured under different environmental conditions (Plomin et al. 1991a).. In a limited number of systems (e.g., maize, Drosophila), replicable mapping populations that contain hundreds of lines exist (Johnson and Wood 1982; Burr et al. 1988; Reiter et al. 1992; Fry et al. 1998). In other systems, ...

Genome editing (GE) is a method that enables specific nucleotides in the genome of an individual to be changed. To date, use of GE in livestock has focussed on simple traits that are controlled by a few quantitative trait nucleotides (QTN) with large effects. The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential of GE to improve quantitative traits that are controlled by many QTN, referred to here as promotion of alleles by genome editing (PAGE). Multiple scenarios were simulated to test alternative PAGE strategies for a quantitative trait. They differed in (i) the number of edits per sire (0 to 100), (ii) the number of edits per generation (0 to 500), and (iii) the extent of use of PAGE (i.e. editing all sires or only a proportion of them). The base line scenario involved selecting individuals on true breeding values (i.e., genomic selection only (GS only)-genomic selection with perfect accuracy) for several generations. Alternative scenarios complemented this base line scenario with PAGE (GS + PAGE).

Genetic architecture of the quantitative traits is an important aspect for understanding the sustained response of selection and also for predicting the disease risk. In regards to the distribution of effect of variants underlying the quantitative traits, Fisher (1918) proposed a simple explanation, termed as the infinitesimal model, where the quantitative traits are composed by…

Type 2 diabetes is a genetically heterogeneous disease involving insulin resistance, β-cell dysfunction, and increased glucose production by the liver. Identification of multiple QTLs suggests that there is a high degree of genetic heterogeneity of type 2 diabetes. To circumvent this limitation, we focused on a single large family, because those individuals likely share the same polymorphisms, thus minimizing genetic heterogeneity. Although environmental factors, such as physical activity and diet, also influence the development of type 2 diabetes and may interact with genetic effects, these measures were not collected, therefore future studies should further examine these effects.. Our results suggest that a gene located near D5S428 is responsible for variability in affection status. As we focused on a single family, the applicability of these findings to the general population is a concern. However, Lindsay et al. (29) identified tentative evidence of linkage (LOD = 1.5) ∼15 cM from our ...

Additional file 1, Table S1 shows the posterior means (standard deviations) of direct and maternal heritabilities of GL and liabilities to CD and SB for each model. Posterior distributions of direct and maternal heritabilities for the three calving traits were similar across categories of GL and between models (RMM1, RMM2 and RMM3) and were also similar to their counterparts from the SMM. The posterior mean of direct heritability of GL was higher than that for maternal heritability (0.39 vs. 0.08-0.07); corresponding estimates for CD (0.08-0.10 vs. 0.07-0.08) and SB (0.05-0.08 vs. 0.08-0.11) were smaller than those for direct heritability and similar between them. Heritability estimates were within the range of values reported in previous studies [15-17]; estimates for CD and SB were higher than those used in routine genetic evaluations of CD and SB in US Holsteins, except for the direct heritability of CD [18, 19]..

Heritability is defined as the degree to which individual genetic variation accounts for phenotypic variation seen in a population. In a scientifically sloppy sense, its somewhat (mis)used to give a sense of what proportion of your risk for a given disease is derived from your genes (as opposed to non-genetic influences, such as your environment, diet, etc). Wikipedia Most heritability estimates have been based on family (and twin) studies. An approach developed more recently ([PMID 25383972]) estimates heritability based on unrelated individuals of mixed ethnic (admixed) backgrounds. This approach appears to indicate lower heritability than is estimated from twin studies; for example, heritability estimates for height and body mass index are 0.55 and 0.23, respectively, compared to the ~0.80 and ~0.50 estimates from twin studies. If heritability is lower than classically thought, the proportion of genetic variance explained by SNP studies is actually significantly higher - relatively common ...

The fourth annual course on Complex Trait Analysis of Next Generation Sequence Data will be held at the MDC in Berlin from June 18-22, 2018. The goal of the course is to teach both the theory and application of methods to analyze next generation sequence (NGS) data for human complex traits.

Trait is a ubiquitous term in biology, but its precise meaning and theoretical foundations remain opaque. After distinguishing between trait and character, I argue for the value of adopting Theodosius Dobzhanskys 1956 definition and framework for understanding trait, which holds that traits are just semantic devices that artificially impose order on continuous biological phenomena. I elaborate on this definition to distinguish between trait validity (compliance with Dobzhanskys trait definition) and trait utility (usefulness of a trait). As a consequence of this elaboration of the meaning of trait, it becomes clear that considerations of adaptation, function, homogeneity and natural kinds have clouded discussions of the meaning of trait per se. Combining this account with work by David Hull and examples from contemporary biology, I demonstrate that even broad or heterogeneous traits (including multiple sub-traits) can qualify as valid and useful. As a test case for this ...

BREEDING BY PHENOTYPE Many breeders plan matings solely on the appearance (phenotype) of a dog and not on its pedigree or the relatedness of the prospective parents. Matings based on appearance are called assortative matings. There are positive assortative matings (like-to-like) and negative assortative matings (like-to-unlike) for individual traits. Breeders use positive assortative matings when they wish to fix traits, and negative assortative matings when they wish to correct traits or bring in traits the breeding stock may lack. Some individuals may share desirable characteristics, but they inherit them differently. This is especially true of polygenetic traits, such as ear set, bite or length of forearm. Breeding two phenotypically similar but geno-typically unrelated dogs together would not necessarily reproduce these traits. Conversely, each individual with the same pedigree will not necessarily look or breed alike. Therefore, breedings should not be planned solely on the basis of the ...

The joint analysis of multiple traits has recently become popular since it can increase statistical power to detect genetic variants and there is increasing evidence showing that pleiotropy is a widespread phenomenon in complex diseases. Currently, most of existing methods use all of the traits for testing the association between multiple traits and a single variant. However, those methods for association studies may lose power in the presence of a large number of noise traits. In this paper, we propose an

The strength of natural selection is directly related to the degree of differential mortality in the population. If the probability of survival for an individual is a function of the value of a particular trait, then that trait is subject to selection pressures (assuming, of course, that the trait is heritable). Selection will not occur if the probability of mortality is the same for all individuals.. The relationship between mortality and a traits value need not be a linear one for selection to occur. The probability of mortality may increase with the trait value, decrease with the trait value, increase with extreme trait values, increase for intermediate trait values or density dependent; an infinite array of possibilities exist. ...

For structured populations in equilibrium with everybody born equal, ln(R0) is a useful fitness proxy for evolutionarily steady strategy (ESS) and most adaptive dynamics calculations, with R0 the average lifetime number of offspring in the clonal and haploid cases, and half the average lifetime number of offspring fathered or mothered for Mendelian diploids. When individuals have variable birth states, as is, for example, the case in spatial models, R0 is itself an eigenvalue, which usually cannot be expressed explicitly in the trait vectors under consideration. In that case, Q(Y, X):=-det (I-L(Y, X)) can often be used as fitness proxy, with L the next-generation matrix for a potential mutant characterized by the trait vector Y in the (constant) environment engendered by a resident characterized by X. If the trait space is connected, global uninvadability can be determined from it. Moreover, it can be used in all the usual local calculations like the determination of evolutionarily singular ...

There are two novel findings from this study. First, rs12255372 in TCF7L2 was significantly associated with GDM under a dominant genetic model. This is the first evidence that TCF7L2 is associated with forms of pre-diabetes. We did not genotype ancestrally informative markers, so it is possible that population substructure may confound our results. However, given that the identical marker also shows association with type 2 diabetes-related quantitative traits, it is likely that this is a true association with GDM.. Second, rs12255372 was associated with 30′ Δinsulin in an interaction with percentage of body fat. This finding could explain some of the inconsistencies in association between TCF7L2 and quantitative traits among studies. It may also explain the increased OR for association with type 2 diabetes (1.89 vs. 1.69) reported by Cauchi et al. (8) when their analysis was restricted to lean subjects (BMI ,30 kg/m2). The lack of association between this interaction and AIR from the IVGTT is ...
