From eye color to whether cilantro tastes like soap, genetic variability influences many factors in a person’s life. These inherited differences can also determine a person’s risk of developing a ...

Animal breeding has traditionally focused on improving mean trait performance; however, contemporary research increasingly highlights the significance of genetic variation not only in trait means but ...

Detecting genetic variants associated with the variance of complex traits, that is, variance quantitative trait loci (vQTLs), can provide crucial insights into the interplay between genes and ...
