Slatkin M 2009 Epigenetic inheritance and the missing heritability problem. Genetics 182:845-850. the solution to the problem of missing heritability is not necessarily the same as the solution to the problem of missing causality as has be…
Zhang X & Borevitz JO 2009 Global analysis of allele-specific expression in Arabidopsis thaliana. Genetics 182:943-954. in a single hybrid pair, cis variation is not tested across segregating trans backgrounds thus, the cis × trans effect …
Graze RM, McIntyre LM, Main BJ, Wayne ML & Nuzhdin SV 2009 Regulatory divergence in Drosophila melanogaster and D. simulans, a genome-wide analysis of allele-specific expression. Genetics, in press. doi:10.1534/genetics.109.105957 variatio…
Nuzhdin SV, Tufts DM & Hahn MW 2008 Abundant genetic variation in transcript level during early Drosophila development. Evol Dev 10:683-689. one standard interpretation of our results finding a small number of factors for both the segmenta…
Mackay TFC, Stone EA & Ayroles JF 2009 The genetics of quantitative traits: challenges and prospects. Nat Rev Genet 10:565-577. a list of all genes and QTNs associated with quantitative traits is just that a list, devoid of biological cont…
Wall JD, Lohmueller KE & Plagnol V 2009 Detecting ancient admixture and estimating demographic parameters in multiple human populations. Mol Biol Evol 26:1823-1827. our analysis also corrects a misuse of the popular coalescent simulator ms…
Tinghitella RM & Zuk M 2009 Asymmetric mating preferences accommodated the rapid evolutionary loss of a sexual signal. Evolution 63:2087-2098. for a sexual signal to change, the change must be favorable for the signaler, but must also be a…
Greenspoon PB & Otto SP 2009 Evolution by Fisherian sexual selection in diploids. Evolution 63:1076-1083. the female preference must reach a threshold frequency, perhaps through genetic drift, before a runaway can occur when the rare male …

Navarro A & Barton NH 2002 The effects of multilocus balancing selection on neutral viability. Genetics 161:849-863. forward simulations are probably the most straightforward method (Barton & Navarro 2002) we aim to focus on qualitative re…
Barton NH & Navarro A 2002 Extending the coalescent to multilocus systems: the case of balancing selection. Genet Res 79:129-139. structured coalescent approach breaks down when the number of backgrounds approaches the population size beca…
Kelly JK & Wade MJ 2000 Molecular evolution near a two-locus balanced polymorphism. J Theor Biol 204:83-101. the three loci are sufficiently close so that at most one recombination event in the region spanning A, B, and C is possible per g…

Kashtan N, Parter M, Dekel E, Mayo AE & Alon U 2009 Extinctions in heterogeneous environments and the evolution of modularity. Evolution 63:1964-1975. in the absence of extinction events, the evolved computational networks are typically hi…
Agrawal AF 2009 Differences between selection on sex versus recombination in Red Queen models with diploid hosts. Evolution 63:2131-2141. sex and recombination are not equivalent in diploids because selection on sex depends on the conseque…
