Intermediate phenotypes are traits positioned somewhere between genetic variation and disease.
In the niche model, each species has three traits, niche position, diet position and feeding range.
The peanut genome project has generated sequence and phenotype data that vastly improve our ability to create dense genetic maps encompassing traits of interest, thereby positioning markers in or near genes with functional significance for peanut growth, productivity, and sustainability.
Variance component (VC) approaches based on restricted maximum likelihood (REML) have been used as an attractive method for positioning of quantitative trait loci (QTL).
Differences in microbial traits among positions were also negatively correlated with soil bulk density and sand content and positively correlated with clay, silt, carbon, nitrogen and moisture content.
In addition to dictating seedling traits, asteroid positions define the map you can only travel within a range of territory defined by asteroids you've claimed, and bigger asteroids claim more territory.
A t-test for the additive eQTL effect a was performed at each of the 1,279 putative eQTL positions (at every marker and 11 inter-marker positions) for each expression trait and the p-values were corrected for multiple testing (q-value) across all traits and positions.
The p-values were corrected for multiple testing across all expression traits and positions using Benjamini and Hochberg procedure [ 21].
Sex specific analyses, performed for example on SSC6, SSC7 and SSCX, show that for some traits the positions differ between male and female animals.
Our findings on variation and covariation in floral traits with position provide genetic basis of flower functional specialization within individuals [ 20, 26].
