Therefore, the precise role of non-genetic heterogeneity in influencing the observed decline ingeneticvarianceis an important and open question.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Several contributors try to underplay the role of epistasis, largely because it has little effect ongeneticvariance!
From theCambridge English Corpus
Among genetic parameter sets pertaining to a given ecological parameter set, there can be large variation in the (relative)geneticvariancemaintained.
From theCambridge English Corpus
With strong selection and many loci, linkage disequilibria are the main cause of changes ingeneticvariance.
From theCambridge English Corpus
With a continuum of alleles, gene flow inflates thegeneticvariancein the same way as a source of mutations of small effect.
From theCambridge English Corpus
With the advent of modern molecular technology, various components of epistaticgeneticvariancecan be separated and jointly estimated with saturated molecular markers.
From theCambridge English Corpus
For increasing periods and without mutation, the (relative)geneticvariancedecreases, but much more slowly than under strong selection.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Directional selection can result in very large increases ingeneticvarianceas initially rare alleles increase in frequency.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Therefore, directional selection in moderate to large-sized populations is likely to cause an increase ingeneticvariance.
From theCambridge English Corpus
In general, both stabilizing selection and migration will generate linkage disequilibrium and consequently changes in thegeneticvariance.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The heritability of a trait is itsgeneticvariancedivided by total (genetic plus environmental) variance.
From theCambridge English Corpus
We attempted to determine the additionalgeneticvariance, if any, captured by using marker haplotypes rather than single markers.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Effects of genetic homozygosity would be misidentified as environmental variance in parent-offspring analyses and as nonadditivegeneticvariancein twin studies.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Furthermore, we can use the predictions derived from single-locus models to predict the partitioning of thisgeneticvariance.
From theCambridge English Corpus
At age 24, thegeneticvariancecommon to the disorders is wholly explained by such effects.
From theCambridge English Corpus
This resulted from both a reduction in additivegeneticvarianceand increased environmental variance.
From theCambridge English Corpus
As a consequence, the overall mean may be biased upwards, and the additivegeneticvarianceincreased.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Because migration leads to an increase in positive linkage disequilibrium and in thegeneticvariance, migration will in general indirectly increase the response to selection.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Therefore, when the direction of selection changes, this allele can quickly rise in frequency, thus inducing muchgeneticvariance.
