Population Genetics: How Many Variable Genes Affect Variable Traits?

Current biology : CB - 8 Mar 2021

Brookfield John F Y

Abstract excerpt

How many genes control a given trait? And are genes with defined knockout phenotypes affecting a given trait the same genes that also underlie population-wide variation in that trait? A new study in Drosophila melanogaster has some surprising answers.
