Nonmammalized knock-in mice are a promising approach toward gaining a deeper understanding of the traits that characterize mammals.
For long lived tree species, such as poplar, this requires an understanding of the traits that contribute to biomass production and their genetic control.
A comprehensive study into the life-history traits of carnivores, including their niche breadth, dispersal abilities, home range, body size, and responses to historical climatic change would perhaps be enlightening, allowing a deeper understanding of the traits that determine how a species is likely to be affected by changes in habitat availability.
Identifying and understanding the traits or phenotypes that have been targets of selection is of major relevance to understand how humans have adapted to varying environmental conditions over time and can provide new insights into genes having played a major role in human survival.
Exploiting contrasts between strains of fish that can readily be interpreted in light of common fishing practices can broaden and deepen our understanding for the traits that fishing may affect, and expand the list of traits one should investigate further in wild stocks.
These are the traits that also define Achilles".
Many of Obama's traits are the traits that people in the population aspire to.
Understanding the mechanisms that make trait interactions such as this beneficial can suggest new lines of cognitive behavioural research for health psychology.
The identification of genes for QTLs mapped by genetic studies is making a substantial contribution to better understanding the mechanisms that underlie complex traits.
Currently, most antimicrobial drugs block basic functions of pathogens rather than targeting specific virulence traits [6]; therefore, understanding the genes that contribute to virulence could facilitate the identification and targeting of pathogen-specific pathways.
