Trait and State Self-Esteem02:08

Trait and State Self-Esteem

11.5K
The term self-esteem is often used generically, to refer to how people feel about themselves. However, according to research, there are three distinct constructs that should not be used interchangeably (Brown & Marshall, 2006).

Polygenic Traits01:18

Polygenic Traits

69.2K
When more than one gene is responsible for a given phenotype, the trait is considered polygenic. Human height is a polygenic trait. Studies have uncovered hundreds of loci that influence height, and there are believed to be many more. Due to the high number of genes involved, as well as environmental and nutritional factors, height varies significantly within a given population. The distribution of height forms a bell-shaped curve, with relatively few individuals in the population at the...

Traits and States

568
Personality traits represent consistent patterns in behavior, thoughts, and emotions, reflecting an individual's tendencies across various situations. For example, extraversion, a well-known trait, manifests in individuals as talkative, energetic, and enthusiastic behaviors. These traits are stable over time, offering a reliable framework for predicting how people might act in different contexts. However, they do not define every moment of an individual's life. In contrast to traits,...

Genomics

40.9K
Genomics is the science of genomes: it is the study of all the genetic material of an organism. In humans, the genome consists of information carried in 23 pairs of chromosomes in the nucleus, as well as mitochondrial DNA. In genomics, both coding and non-coding DNA is sequenced and analyzed. Genomics allows a better understanding of all living things, their evolution, and their diversity. It has a myriad of uses: for example, to build phylogenetic trees, to improve productivity and...

X-linked Traits01:19

X-linked Traits

58.9K
In most mammalian species, females have two X sex chromosomes and males have an X and Y. As a result, mutations on the X chromosome in females may be masked by the presence of a normal allele on the second X. In contrast, a mutation on the X chromosome in males more often causes observable biological defects, as there is no normal X to compensate. Trait variations arising from mutations on the X chromosome are called “X-linked”.

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

A new multivariate Bayesian method (BayesMV) improves quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping and genomic prediction by analyzing multiple traits simultaneously. This approach identifies more true QTL and enhances prediction accuracy, particularly for developing low-density SNP chips for multiple traits.

Area of Science:

  • Genetics and Genomics
  • Statistical Genetics
  • Animal Breeding

Background:

  • Traditional genomic prediction and QTL mapping analyze traits individually, potentially overlooking pleiotropic effects where a single genetic marker influences multiple traits.
  • Existing methods may not fully capture the complex genetic architecture underlying multiple related traits.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a multivariate Bayesian approach for simultaneous genetic architecture elucidation, QTL mapping, and genomic prediction.
  • To leverage information from multiple traits to improve the accuracy and efficiency of genetic analyses.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a multivariate Bayesian method (BayesMV) that categorizes markers as 'unassociated' or 'associated' with one or more traits.
  • Estimated marker effects independently for each trait to avoid assuming a multivariate normal distribution for QTL effects.
  • Compared BayesMV with a univariate method (BayesR) using simulated and real high-density genotype data for milk yield traits.

Main Results:

  • BayesMV detected a greater number of true QTL and improved genomic prediction accuracy compared to BayesR in simulations.
  • In real data, BayesMV achieved comparable genomic prediction accuracies to single-trait methods, identifying a common set of SNPs across traits.
  • BayesMV identified SNPs associated with milk yield traits that were also linked to detailed milk composition, suggesting pleiotropic effects.

Conclusions:

  • The BayesMV method effectively estimates the proportion of SNPs associated with multiple traits, exploiting pleiotropic quantitative trait loci (QTL).
  • BayesMV selects a smaller, shared set of SNPs beneficial for predicting multiple traits, showing potential for low-density SNP chip development.
  • This multivariate approach offers advantages for understanding the genetic basis of complex traits and improving breeding strategies.
