Wikipedia Articles
- Quantitative genetics - Quantitative genetics is the study of continuous traits (such as height or weight) and its underlying mechanisms. It is effectively an extension of simple Mendelian inheritance in that the combined effect of the many underlying genes results in a continuous distribution of phenotypic values.
- Michael Lynch (geneticist) - Michael Lynch is Distinguished Professor of Evolution, Population Genetics and Genomics at Indiana University. Besides many highly acclaimed papers, especially in population genetics, he has written a two volume textbook with Bruce Walsh, widely considered the "Bible" of quantitative genetics.
- Douglas Scott Falconer - Douglas Scott Falconer FRS FRSE (March 10, 1913, Oldmeldrum, Aberdeenshire – February 23, 2004, Edinburgh) was a British geneticist known for his work in quantitative genetics. free fulltext D.
