So, any current statement on the environmental risks of conventional crops is based on very long-term observations, which cannot be automatically extended to the GMOs per analogy simply because apparently there's no difference in the frequency, variation and replication of mutations obtained through the insertion of homologous and heterologous genes.
Just as the estimation of genetic parameters of individuals requires controlled breeding and replication, estimation of the genetic parameters for social interactions requires variation and replication of the social context.
During the workshop and subsequent consultations, we identified five main areas of special interest that are specific to, or especially relevant in, genetic association studies: genotyping errors, population stratification, modeling haplotype variation, HWE and replication.

We quantify their degree of conservation and identify the contributing explanatory factors and finally try to disentangle the contribution of mutation rate variation, replication, and transcription on substitutional asymmetries.
Many of these studies used population samples without controlling for genetic variation and with little replication, if any, and therefore these results should be interpreted with some caution.
Based on this estimate, the associated SNP explains ~5% of the total phenotypic variation, and a successful replication study (α = 0.05, power = 80%) would require 234 samples with a single HbA1c measure (sample size calculation).
Note, however, that these boxplot representations ignore some aspects of the model, such as site and replication variation.
Moreover, variation in infection rates and replication within the host remains an important determinant of competitive success.

Significance of variation among treatments and replications was tested at 5% and 1% level of significance.
