This paper introduces GIFT, a method that enables accurate genetic association analysis in small datasets, identifying loci linked to height at withers in ponies and validating a hypothesis about insulin physiology.

This paper compares Genomic Informational Field Theory (GIFT) to GWAS in genotype-phenotype mapping, showing GIFT provides greater investigative power by overcoming limitations of category-based data grouping.

GIFT is a new method for analyzing small gene effects in complex traits with small sample sizes, showing it recovers GWAS results and extends to quadratic phenotypic fields.

The paper shows that Cnot1 regulates nuclear poly(A) tail size of serum-induced mRNAs, revealing a role in both transcription and deadenylation.
