Sentence examples for conventional trait from inspiring English sources

In fact, this was a conventional trait of much Greek figurative sculpture of the time, but it remains a mystery -- a mystery that dovetails nicely with the mystery of exactly what centaurs and other composite creatures actually meant to the people who created them.

The heritability of gene expression means it can be subject to the same quantitative trait loci (QTL) analyses as conventional trait data to reveal the so-called expression QTLs (eQTLs).

In ZPLAN+, a genomic counterpart trait for each conventional trait is defined to be the genomic estimated genomic breeding value (GEBV) for that trait, based on the given calibration set size.

Using the gene expression traits obtained from our transcriptome study we achieved fine scale phenotyping that was merged with phenotyping of the conventional traits.

A random regression model for daily feed intake and a conventional multiple trait animal model for the four traits average daily gain on test (ADG), feed conversion ratio (FCR), carcass lean content and meat quality index were combined to analyse data from 1 449 castrated male Large White pigs performance tested in two French central testing stations in 1997.

In a major departure from conventional genetic trait analysis, now 105 to 106 phenotypic traits are represented by distinct gene expression measurements.

Although experimental validation of HAM-identified genomic regions is necessary, HAM offers significant advantages over the use of conventional quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping alone in the form of reduced time and financial costs and the identification of smaller genomic regions.

The results show a right-skewed density distribution of the values, i.e., for the majority of the genes, only a small fraction of the total genetic variation could be explained by the detected cis or trans eQTLs, a phenomenon well-known as "missing heritability" in conventional complex trait analyses [ 1, 2].

These genetic mechanisms differ from those of conventional Mendelian traits in several ways: (1) multiple genes are involved [3], [4]; (2) the roles of the genes are defined in the context of their related genes; and (3) the magnitude of the gene effects depends on the environment to which they are exposed [5].

In genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of conventional complex traits such as human complex diseases, a fundamental and yet unsolved question is that of so-called missing heritability, i.e., the significant and often numerous variants collectively explaining only a small fraction of the total phenotypic variation [ 1, 2].

Releasing transgenic crops into the environment may have direct effects including: gene transfer to wild relatives or conventional crops, weediness, trait effects on non-target species and other unintended effects.
