Linkage disequilibrium (LD) mapping in plants detects and locates quantitative trait loci
(QTL) by the strength of the correlation between a trait and a marker. It offers greater …

Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are indispensable in such applications as
association mapping and construction of high-density genetic maps. These applications …

The combined effects of multiple polymorphisms in several drug-metabolizing enzyme and
transporter genes can contribute to considerable interindividual variation in drug disposition …

Background Butterfly wing color patterns are a key model for integrating evolutionary
developmental biology and the study of adaptive morphological evolution. Yet, despite the …

The African Mocker Swallowtail, Papilio dardanus, is a textbook example in evolutionary
genetics. Classical breeding experiments have shown that wing pattern variation in this …

Genetic monitoring, the quantification of temporal changes in population genetics and
dynamics metrics generated by using appropriate parameters, constitutes a method with a …

Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are useful markers for genetic mapping
experiments in model organisms. Here we report the establishment of a high-density SNP …

We develop and implement a strategy to map QTL in two synthetic populations of Drosophila
melanogaster each initiated with eight inbred founder strains. These recombinant …

To gain insight into the molecular genetic basis of standing variation in fitness related traits,
we identify a novel factor that regulates the molecular and physiological basis of natural …

The observation that male genitalia diverge more rapidly than other morphological traits
during evolution is taxonomically widespread and likely due to some form of sexual …
