Bayesian Models for Detecting Epistatic Interactions from Genetic Data
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2010)Current disease association studies are routinely conducted on a genome-wide scale, testing hundreds of thousands or millions of genetic markers. Besides detecting marginal associations of individual markers with the ... -
Evolution, Genetics and Ecology of Burrowing Behavior in Deer Mice (Genus Peromyscus)
(2013-02-08)Behavioral differences among closely related species can result from adaptation via natural selection, and this is especially true of innately expressed behavior that shows evidence of complex design or function. A major ... -
An Mhc Component to Kin Recognition and Mate Choice in Birds: Predictions, Progress, and Prospects
(University of Chicago Press, 2002)The major histocompatibility complex (<em>Mhc</em>) has been identified as a locus influencing disease resistance, mate choice, and kin recognition in mammals and fish. However, it is unclear whether the mechanisms by ... -
When Females Produce Sperm: Genetics of C. elegans Hermaphrodite Reproductive Choice
(Genetics Society of America, 2013)Reproductive behaviors have manifold consequences on evolutionary processes. Here, we explore mechanisms underlying female reproductive choice in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, a species in which females have evolved ...
