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

elaborated in the last edition of The Origin of Species, many complex traits evolved from earlier traits that had served different functions. By trapping air,...

Genome-wide complex trait analysis (GCTA) Genome-based restricted maximum likelihood (GREML) is a statistical method for heritability estimation in genetics...

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

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...

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

adaptationist explanations for the emergence of complex traits and hypotheses positing that a complex trait emerged as a response to a deleterious development...

In trait theory, the Big Five personality traits (sometimes known as the five-factor model of personality or OCEAN or CANOE models) are a group of five...

association has been extended to quantitative traits. The TDT has been extended in context of quantitative traits and nuclear or extended pedigree families...
