Detecting Polygenic Evolution: Problems, Pitfalls, and Promises.

Trends in genetics : TIG - 1 Mar 2016

Wellenreuther Maren, Hansson Bengt

Abstract excerpt

Unraveling the genetic basis of organismal form and function remains one of the major goals of evolutionary biology. Theory has long supported a model of polygenic evolution in which quantitative traits are underpinned by many genes of small effect, but empirical methods have lacked the power to detect causative loci when effect sizes are small or moderate. We (i) review traditional approaches used for...
