Increasing the power of genome wide association studies in natural populations using repeated measures - evaluation and implementation
Rönnegård, Lars; McFarlane, S. Eryn; Husby, Arild; Kawakami, Takeshi; Ellegren, Hans; Qvarnström, Anna; Freckleton, Robert (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)1. Genomewide association studies (GWAS) enable detailed dissections of the genetic basis for organisms’ ability to adapt to a changing environment. In long-term studies of natural populations, individuals are often marked ... -
Insights into the genetic architecture of morphological and sexually selected traits in two passerine bird species
Silva, Catarina; McFarlane, S. Eryn; Hagen, Ingerid Julie; Rönnegård, Lars; Billing, Anna; Kvalnes, Thomas; Kemppainen, Petri; Rønning, Bernt; Ringsby, Thor Harald; Sæther, Bernt-Erik; Qvarnström, Anna; Ellegren, Hans; Jensen, Henrik; Husby, Arild (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Knowledge about the underlying genetic architecture of phenotypic traits is needed to understand and predict their evolutionary dynamics. The number of causal loci underlying most phenotypic traits, the magnitude of their ... -
Whole-genome resequencing of extreme phenotypes in collared flycatchers highlights the difficulty of detecting quantitative trait loci in natural populations
Kardos, Marty; Husby, Arild; McFarlane, S. Eryn; Qvarnström, Anna; Ellegren, Hans (Journal article, 2016)Dissecting the genetic basis of phenotypic variation in natural populations is a long-standing goal in evolutionary biology. One open question is whether quantitative traits are determined only by large numbers of genes ...
