QTLs underlie continuous traits (those traits which vary continuously, e.g. height) as opposed to discrete traits (traits that have two or several character...

Mendelian traits in humans are human traits that are substantially influenced by Mendelian inheritance. Most – if not all – Mendelian traits are also influenced...

particularly large power due to their very large sample size, other complex traits likely have similar genetic architecture. Thus, the missing heritability...

mapping models are used to identify imprinting effects on genes and complex traits. Allelic parent-of-origin influences the vary in phenotype that derive...

of complex traits. Expanding beyond polygenes, the authors propose that all genes expressed within a cell affect the expression of a given trait. In...

The complete set of observable traits of the structure and behavior of an organism is called its phenotype. These traits arise from the interaction of...
