Association Mapping: Critical Considerations Shift from Genotyping to Experimental Design
- S. Myles, Jason Peiffer, +4 authors E. Buckler
- Biology, Medicine
- The Plant Cell Online
- 1 August 2009
The goal of many plant scientists' research is to explain natural phenotypic variation in terms of simple changes in DNA sequence. Traditionally, linkage mapping has been the most commonly employed… Expand
Genetic structure and domestication history of the grape
- S. Myles, Adam R. Boyko, +9 authors E. Buckler
- Biology, Medicine
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
- 18 January 2011
The grape is one of the earliest domesticated fruit crops and, since antiquity, it has been widely cultivated and prized for its fruit and wine. Here, we characterize genome-wide patterns of genetic… Expand
How culture shaped the human genome: bringing genetics and the human sciences together
- K. Laland, J. Odling-Smee, S. Myles
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature Reviews Genetics
- 1 February 2010
Researchers from diverse backgrounds are converging on the view that human evolution has been shaped by gene–culture interactions. Theoretical biologists have used population genetic models to… Expand
LinkImpute: Fast and Accurate Genotype Imputation for Nonmodel Organisms
- D. Money, K. Gardner, Zoë Migicovsky, H. Schwaninger, Gan-Yuan Zhong, S. Myles
- Biology, Medicine
- G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics
- 15 September 2015
Obtaining genome-wide genotype data from a set of individuals is the first step in many genomic studies, including genome-wide association and genomic selection. All genotyping methods suffer from… Expand
Genetic diversity and population structure assessed by SSR and SNP markers in a large germplasm collection of grape
- F. Emanuelli, S. Lorenzi, +8 authors M. S. Grando
- Biology, Medicine
- BMC Plant Biology
- 7 March 2013
BackgroundThe economic importance of grapevine has driven significant efforts in genomics to accelerate the exploitation of Vitis resources for development of new cultivars. However, although a large… Expand
Rapid Genomic Characterization of the Genus Vitis
Next-generation sequencing technologies promise to dramatically accelerate the use of genetic information for crop improvement by facilitating the genetic mapping of agriculturally important… Expand
Distinct Genetic Architectures for Male and Female Inflorescence Traits of Maize
- P. J. Brown, N. Upadyayula, +8 authors T. Rocheford
- Biology, Medicine
- PLoS genetics
- 1 November 2011
We compared the genetic architecture of thirteen maize morphological traits in a large population of recombinant inbred lines. Four traits from the male inflorescence (tassel) and three traits from… Expand
The Genetic Structure of Marijuana and Hemp
- J. Sawler, J. M. Stout, +5 authors S. Myles
- Biology, Medicine
- PloS one
- 26 August 2015
Despite its cultivation as a source of food, fibre and medicine, and its global status as the most used illicit drug, the genus Cannabis has an inconclusive taxonomic organization and evolutionary… Expand
Positive Selection in East Asians for an EDAR Allele that Enhances NF-κB Activation
- J. Bryk, E. Hardouin, +4 authors S. Myles
- Biology, Medicine
- PloS one
- 21 May 2008
Genome-wide scans for positive selection in humans provide a promising approach to establish links between genetic variants and adaptive phenotypes. From this approach, lists of hundreds of candidate… Expand
Identifying genes underlying skin pigmentation differences among human populations
- S. Myles, M. Somel, K. Tang, J. Kelso, M. Stoneking
- Biology, Medicine
- Human Genetics
- 15 September 2006
Skin pigmentation is a human phenotype that varies greatly among human populations and it has long been speculated that this variation is adaptive. We therefore expect the genes that contribute to… Expand
