QTL mapping for sexually dimorphic fitness-related traits in wild bighorn sheep.

Heredity - 1 Mar 2012

Poissant J, Davis C S, Malenfant R M, Hogg J T, Coltman D W

Abstract excerpt

Dissecting the genetic architecture of fitness-related traits in wild populations is key to understanding evolution and the mechanisms maintaining adaptive genetic variation. We took advantage of a recently developed genetic linkage map and phenotypic information from wild pedigreed individuals from Ram Mountain, Alberta, Canada, to study the genetic architecture of ecologically important traits (horn volume,...
