Evolution, expression, development and linkage for complex traits
Suggestions from Chad Brock:
QTL analysis of traits associated with function morphology
-- e.g. feeding ecology in fish, body armor in sticklebacks
Microaray analysis of developmental genes
---phylogenetics of gene expression, and correlation with changes in
morphology/development
Estimating the stability of the genetic covariance matrix
-- effects of drift, selection, etc on genetic covariances.
