QuantitativeGenetics

New, interesting, and exciting research in quantitative genetics. Bringing together medical genetics, agriculture research, and evolutionary biology

[QuantitativeGenetics @QuantGen]

Agreed! https://t.co/JcPyrmVchF

@Graham_Coop we used this data in our work, to est observed means after removing time trends of each nation..really interesting set of data

[QuantitativeGenetics @QuantGen]

@Ben_Sheldon_EGI @Jon_Slate Yes it's just me..impossible to find anything like my very common name. Glad to hear all's well, say hi to Anna

[QuantitativeGenetics @QuantGen]

@Graham_Coop @lukejostins @JeremyJBerg no no of course not! I'll email later today. cheers.

[QuantitativeGenetics @QuantGen]

@Graham_Coop @lukejostins @JeremyJBerg also we did reference your paper in the talk

[QuantitativeGenetics @QuantGen]

@Graham_Coop @lukejostins @JeremyJBerg Similar but with some differences. Found your paper only once completed. I'll email you to chat

[QuantitativeGenetics @QuantGen]

@Ben_Sheldon_EGI @Jon_Slate Hi both, yes it is me! Just finished my first project here in Brisbane, hope you are both well?

#BoG14 Really interesting pop gen talks: estimating human gen time, differentiation of height and BMI in EU, IBD mapping identifies new loci

[QuantitativeGenetics @QuantGen]

Following and tweeting from #BoG14 Nice meeting so far - great session on complex traits

[QuantitativeGenetics @QuantGen]

Data and theory support the application of quantitative genetic approaches to understand complex traits http://t.co/cPhaBs5ZFl

Tissue specific selection for mitochondrial variants? http://t.co/g5hPkd9PLz #genetics #genomics

[QuantitativeGenetics @QuantGen]

Series of interesting papers on systems genomics http://t.co/XWfFWQjwsx #genetics #genomics

[QuantitativeGenetics @QuantGen]

Simulations showing weakly deleterious variants should be common in expanding populations http://t.co/xj4ScQlufo #genetics #quantgen

[QuantitativeGenetics @QuantGen]

Data and theory show both rare and common variants influence traits, and selection altering the proportions http://t.co/RGYekvPlKO #genetics

It's almost exactly 5 years since @bmahersciwriter wrote this on "missing heritability." Holds up pretty well, no? http://t.co/nUgGUR6Qgm

[QuantitativeGenetics @QuantGen]

Causal variants for Schizophrenia may be of ancient origin rather than many recently occurring mutations? http://t.co/MVtWCFB9tw #genetics

[QuantitativeGenetics @QuantGen]

The effects of many underlying causal variants fro BMI are likely to be small. http://t.co/1RgE35EqnS #genetics #genomics #quantgen

[QuantitativeGenetics @QuantGen]

Mendelian and common diseases show comorbidity. Causal variants of all frequencies for complex traits? http://t.co/0TxIkrs5S6 #genetics

[QuantitativeGenetics @QuantGen]

Larger GWAS studies continue to reveal more loci for complex phenotypes. http://t.co/KT93cUmO4j #genetics #genomics #quantgen
