Population Genetics: How Many Variable Genes Affect Variable Traits?
How many genes control a given trait? And are genes with defined knockout phenotypes affecting a given trait the same genes that also underlie population-wide variation in that trait? A new study in Drosophila melanogaster has some surprising answers. How many genes control a given trait? And are ge...
