[HTML][HTML] Mapping of craniofacial traits in outbred mice identifies major developmental genes involved in shape determination

LF Pallares, P Carbonetto, S Gopalakrishnan… - PLoS …, 2015 - journals.plos.org
The vertebrate cranium is a prime example of the high evolvability of complex traits. While
evidence of genes and developmental pathways underlying craniofacial shape determination …

Dietary stress remodels the genetic architecture of lifespan variation in outbred Drosophila

LF Pallares, AJ Lea, C Han, EV Filippova… - Nature …, 2023 - nature.com
Evolutionary theory suggests that lifespan-reducing alleles should be purged from the gene
pool, and yet decades of genome-wide association and model organism studies have …

Use of a natural hybrid zone for genomewide association mapping of craniofacial traits in the house mouse

LF Pallares, B Harr, LM Turner, D Tautz - Molecular Ecology, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
The identification of the genes involved in morphological variation in nature is still a major
challenge. Here, we explore a new approach: we combine 178 samples from a natural hybrid …

TM3'seq: A tagmentation-mediated 3'sequencing approach for improving scalability of RNAseq experiments

LF Pallares, S Picard, JF Ayroles - G3: Genes, Genomes …, 2020 - academic.oup.com
RNA-seq has become the standard tool for collecting genome-wide expression data in diverse
fields, from quantitative genetics and medical genomics to ecology and developmental …

The structure of behavioral variation within a genotype

…, A Bravin, K Skutt-Kakaria, P Reimers, LF Pallares… - Elife, 2021 - elifesciences.org
Individual animals vary in their behaviors. This is true even when they share the same
genotype and were reared in the same environment. Clusters of covarying behaviors constitute …

Exploring the effects of gene dosage on mandible shape in mice as a model for studying the genetic basis of natural variation

L Boell, LF Pallares, C Brodski, YP Chen… - Development genes and …, 2013 - Springer
Mandible shape in the mouse is a complex trait that is influenced by many genetic factors.
However, little is known about the action of single genes on adult mandible shape so far, since …

[HTML][HTML] Craniofacial shape transition across the house mouse hybrid zone: implications for the genetic architecture and evolution of between-species differences

LF Pallares, LM Turner, D Tautz - Development genes and evolution, 2016 - Springer
… Two hundred forty nine mice were used in this study; a subset of them was previously used
in genome-wide association studies of craniofacial (Pallares et al. 2014) and sterility traits (…

[HTML][HTML] Searching for solutions to the missing heritability problem

LF Pallares - elife, 2019 - elifesciences.org
Rare genetic variants in yeast explain a large amount of phenotypic variation in a complex
trait like growth.

[HTML][HTML] Mouse skull mean shape and shape robustness rely on different genetic architectures and different loci

C Varón-González, LF Pallares, V Debat… - Frontiers in …, 2019 - frontiersin.org
The genetic architecture of skull shape has been extensively studied in mice and the results
suggest a highly polygenic and additive basis. In contrast few studies have explored the …

Saturating the eQTL map in Drosophila melanogaster: genome-wide patterns of cis and trans regulation of transcriptional variation in outbred populations

LF Pallares, D Melo, S Wolf, EM Cofer, V Abhyankar… - bioRxiv, 2023 - biorxiv.org
Decades of genome-wide mapping have shown that most genetic polymorphisms associated
with complex traits are found in non-coding regions of the genome. Characterizing the …
