Sex modifies genetic effects on residual variance in urinary calcium excretion in rat (Rattus norvegicus).

Abstract excerpt

Conventional genetics assumes common variance among alleles or genetic groups. However, evidence from vertebrate and invertebrate models suggests that residual genotypic variance may itself be under partial genetic control. Such a phenomenon would have great significance: high-variability alleles might confound the detection of "classically" acting genes or scatter predicted evolutionary outcomes among...
