When Does Reaction Norm GWAS Discover Plasticity? The Residual Channel in Environmental Index-Based Genetic Dissection

Shawn Jenkins, George Lewis Graef

The paper shows that using climate-derived indices in GWAS to detect phenotypic plasticity is flawed, as the index's correlation with environmental means limits the ability to detect plasticity-specific genetic variation.
