Resolving the complex genetic basis of phenotypic variation and variability of cellular growth
In all organisms, the majority of traits vary continuously between individuals. Explaining the
genetic basis of quantitative trait variation requires comprehensively accounting for genetic …

[HTML][HTML] A sibling method for identifying vQTLs
The propensity of a trait to vary within a population may have evolutionary, ecological, or
clinical significance. In the present study we deploy sibling models to offer a novel and …

Does gene expression noise play a functional role in plants?
Gene expression in individual cells can be surprisingly noisy. In unicellular organisms this
noise can be functional; for example, by allowing a subfraction of the population to prepare …
