Size of organs/organisms is a polygenic trait. Many of the growth-regulatory genes constitute conserved growth signaling pathways. However, how these multiple genes are orchestrated at the systems level to attain the natural variation in size including sex ...
Work on Drosophila melanogaster paved the way to our current understanding of modern genetics. Since then, this model organism has contributed greatly to various fields such as neurobiology, development, and immunology. The discovery and analysis of the va ...
Caenorhabditis elegans is a performant model system for studying human biological processes and diseases and for pre-clinical phenotyping screenings of compounds. Microfluidics has been instrumental in enabling C. elegans-based drug assays, facilitating th ...
Genetic association studies have become increasingly important in understanding the molecular bases of complex human traits. The specific analysis of intermediate molecular traits, via quantitative trait locus (QTL) studies, has recently received much atte ...
Molecular quantitative trait locus (QTL) analyses are increasingly popular to explore the genetic architecture of complex traits, but existing studies do not leverage shared regulatory patterns and suffer from a large multiplicity burden, which hampers the ...
Genes are the functional units of heredity. However, the functions of many genes remain unknown, which impedes the understanding of the underlying mechanism of complex traits and diseases. Systems genetics approaches try to understand the complexity underl ...
Genome-wide association (GWA) studies aim to dissect the relationship between genotype and phenotype. So far, the focus has been on nuclear genetic determinants as variation in the mitochondrial genome is often low in the study cohorts. Despite this observ ...
Samβada is a genome‐environment association (GEA) software, designed to search for signatures of local adaptation. However, pre‐ and post‐processing of data can be labour‐intensive, preventing wider uptake of the method. We have now developed R.SamBada, an ...
DDR1 has been linked to schizophrenia (SZ) and myelination. Here, we tested whether DDR1 variants in people at risk for SZ influence white matter (WM) structural variations and cognitive processing speed (PS). First, following a case-control design (Study ...
This thesis consists of five papers published in peer-reviewed journals, two of which focus on method development of time-serial inference, represented by publications in methodology journals, and three others that describe collaborative data applications ...
