Genetic architecture of complex traits
Our colleague Hossein Jorjani has retired in June 2019 and we would like to thank him for his scientific work by organising the seminar "Genetic Architecture of Complex Traits". You are all welcome!
Program:
- Introduction Erling Strandberg
- The infinitesimal very-many-genes polygenic model of quantitative continuously distributed (or not) complex traits: Sorting out the terminology. Hossein Jorjani
- How many genes are there? Göran Andersson
- Fisher's quantitative genetic model and the molecular genetics of multifactorial traits. Leif Andersson
- The complex genetic architecture of long-term selection responses: lessons learned from the Virginia body-weight selected chicken lines. Örjan Carlborg
- Are functional studies helping our understanding of the genetic basis of complex traits? Dirk-Jan de Koning
- 14.50-15.30 Coffee break
- 15.30-16.00 Panel discussion
