Short-term heritable variation overwhelms two hundred generations of mutational variance for metabolic traits in <i>Caenorhabditis elegans</i>
2020-02-05
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Metabolic disorders have a large heritable component, and have increased over the past few generations. Genome-wide association studies of metabolic traits typically find a substantial unexplained fraction of total heritability, suggesting an important role of spontaneous mutation. An alternative explanation is that epigenetic effects contribute significantly to the heritable variation. Here we...
