The paper develops and validates statistical tests for segregation distortion in higher ploidy F1 populations, showing improved type I error control and power.

This study identifies genetic factors underlying gut length variation in Lake Malawi cichlids, showing sex-specific quantitative trait loci and epistatic interactions linked to trophic level differences and sexual conflict.

The paper develops a workflow to improve linkage map construction from GBS data by evaluating and selecting dataset-independent genotype calling and mapping methods.

The paper constructs a genetic map and identifies QTL in a tetraploid potato population, finding co-located QTL for multiple traits on linkage group 5.

The paper identifies a QTL for common scab resistance in tetraploid potatoes using a full-sib population across multiple environments.

This study evaluates the impact of sequencing depth, marker number, and genetic models on genomic selection accuracy in autopolyploid crops, finding that fewer SNPs and additive models are sufficient for most traits.

This paper develops a random-effect model for QTL mapping in autopolyploid sweetpotato, identifying 41 QTL across eight yield traits in a full-sib population.

This study constructs an ultra-dense genetic map for hexaploid sweetpotato and characterizes its inheritance system using a new software tool.

The paper quantifies phenotype misclassification and pedigree errors in sweetpotato breeding and shows their negative impact on QTL detection and genetic correlations.
