In general, infinitely super-glue the attention of your readers through connecting traits in your characters, amazing plots and fascinating story-telling.
A dissimilarity matrix, reported |1 ρg(Y,Z)| for all pair of traits, was used as input for the R function hclust (http://www.r-project.org/) to create a dendrogram object with an average agglomerative hierarchical method of clustering which connects trait by trait the most similar ones.
But different from the previous treatment for bivariate functional mapping by Wu and Hou [45], we will found functional mapping on the dependent trait, connected with the independent trait by the allometric equation.
Pleiotropy can also help maintain costly traits, such as cooperation, when the costly trait is functionally connected to another trait under strong positive selection [ 50, 51].
Another study, which is similar in some ways to ours, by Li et al.[ 11] traced the SNPs connecting disease traits.
The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is emerging as a powerful model to connect quantitative traits to genetic variants (Gaertner and Phillips 2010).
Using GWAS phenotype-to-genes associations, and pathway data from Reactome, we connect human traits based on the common patterns of human biological pathways, detecting more pleiotropic effects, and expanding previous studies from a gene-centric approach to that of shared cell-processes.
Ecological theory posits further that reproductive isolation is favored if the trophic traits of a phenotype are connected to reproductive traits (Schluter 1996).
To figure out if token trait X has the function to Z, they say, first identify the lineage of traits to which X belongs; a lineage of traits connects ancestral and descendent traits by the mechanisms responsible for inheritance.
Traits connected by short branches share more of their genetic correlation than traits that join near the top of the tree.
