Abstract: We propose a new method, G-REMLadp, to estimate the phenotypic variance explained by parent-of-origin effects (POEs) across the genome. Our method uses restricted maximum likelihood analysis of genome-wide genetic relatedness matrices based on individuals’ phased… read more here.

Abstract: Epigenetics refers to chemical modifications of chromatin or transcribed DNA that can influence gene activity and expression without changes in DNA sequence. The last 20 years have yielded breakthroughs in our understanding of epigenetic processes… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/mec.16274
Abstract: Shifts in trait means are widely considered as evidence for adaptive responses, but the impact on phenotypic variance remains largely unexplored. Classic quantitative genetics provides a theoretical framework to predict how selection on phenotypic mean… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s12864-020-06927-x
Abstract: Background Fruit quality traits have a significant effect on consumer acceptance and subsequently on peach ( Prunus persica (L.) Batsch) consumption. Determining the genetic bases of key fruit quality traits is essential for the industry… read more here.
