Abstract

The huge amount of data generated by microarrays and high-throughput sequencing technologies led to the reincarnation of system biology. Yet good old quantitative genetics and biometric analysis of phenotypic variation remains a powerful approach to unravel the genetic architecture of a trait, and the interactions among different genetic circuits. In a recent paper in Heredity, Bradshaw et al. (2011) have taken this elegant approach to test for genetic links between two major genetic networks, the circadian and the photoperiodic clocks in the pitcher plant mosquito Wyeomyia smithii.
