accumulated gene expression and sequence data generated from high‐throughput …

Three informative pig F2 families based on European Wild Boar (W), Meishan (M) and
Pietrain (P) crosses have been used for genome‐wide linkage and quantitative trait loci …

In terms of the quality of minimally processed fruit, flesh browning is fundamentally important
in the development of an aesthetically unpleasant appearance, with consequent off-flavours …

We present here the first study of linkage disequilibrium (LD) in cultivated grapevine, Vitis

Linkage disequilibrium is often measured by two statistics, D and r, which can be interpreted
as the covariance and the correlation between loci and across gametes. When data consist …

Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have become the markers of choice in elucidating
the relationship between DNA sequence variation and susceptibility to disease and have …

Survival and event history analysis have developed into one of the major areas of
biostatistics, with important applications in other fields as well, including reliability theory …

Potatoes are the world's most important vegetable and fourth most important food crop in
terms of production. Breeders try to develop new cultivars that combine yield, quality and …

Understanding the pattern of linkage disequilibrium (LD) in the human genome is important
