Sentence examples for models of trait from inspiring English sources

An important advance is that we now have empirical genetic models of trait genetic architecture obtained from mapping studies (multi-QTL models including various genetic effects that may vary in relation to environmental factors) to ground theoretical investigations on the merits of alternative breeding strategies.

We used continuous-time Markovian models of trait evolution to model four hypotheses for the evolution of migration in bats.

Models of trait evolution under GLS can be compared using a likelihood-ratio (LR) test in which LR = 2[log-likelihood of the better-fitting model−log-likelihood of the worse-fitting model].

First, we used BayesTraits (in MCMC mode) to examine the correlation between the root-to-tip distance (i.e., mutation rate) of our phylogenetic estimates and the trait (mass-specific metabolic rate) under both the Random Walk (Model A) and Directional (Model B) models of trait evolution.

The models of trait evolution indicated that distinct evolutionary processes have influenced trait divergence in the CCN group.

Animal models of trait impulsivity provide the opportunity to investigate the role of impulsivity in neuropsychiatric disorders such as addiction.

Animal models of traits related to human alcohol use disorders can provide pertinent information about the human condition.

These estimates, combined with estimates of the additive and dominant components of the variance, will help in answering where the missing heritability is, in searching for causal loci, in building prediction models, and in testing evolutionary models of traits.

Studying a mathematical model of trait and rate evolution, we show that the special nature of substitution rates can lead to a severe loss of power for standard comparative methods.
