Geneticists are poised to move into a dissection of complex phenotypic traits. The complexity of phenotypes probably arises from the segregation of alleles at many, interacting loci (quantitative ...

Powerful statistical methods are available for the analysis of quantitative traits in experimental species. To a large extent, the development of these methods has been driven by the increased ...

The search for a technique that can measure local viscoelastic properties with nanoscale or molecular resolution on soft heterogeneous materials such as polymers has been challenging. Now, scientists ...
