Classic genome-wide association studies (GWAS) look for associations between individual
SNPs and phenotypes of interest. With the rapid progress of high-throughput genotyping …

Vocal rhythm plays a fundamental role in sexual selection and species recognition in birds,
but little is known of its genetic basis due to the confounding effect of vocal learning in model …

Cytonuclear interaction refers to the complex and ongoing process of coevolution between
nuclear and organelle genomes, which are responsible for cellular respiration …

Introduction Heterosis has revolutionized crop breeding, enhancing global agricultural
production. However, the mechanisms underlying heterosis remain obscure. Xiangzamian …

Background Heritability partitioning approaches estimate the contribution of different
functional classes, such as coding or regulatory variants, to the genetic variance. This …

Motivation Genome partitioning of quantitative genetic variation is useful for dissecting the
genetic architecture of complex traits. However, existing methods, such as Haseman-Elston …

Inbreeding depression is of major concern in declining populations, but relatively little is
known about its genetic architecture in wild populations, such as the degree to which it is …

Phenotypic variation within species can affect the ecological dynamics of populations and
communities. Characterizing the genetic variation underlying such effects can help parse the …

The use of whole‐genome sequence (WGS) data is expected to improve genomic prediction
(GP) power of complex traits because it may contain mutations that in strong linkage …

The availability of wild chickpea (Cicer reticulatum L.) accessions has the potential to be
used for the improvement of important traits in cultivated chickpeas. The main objectives of …
