Behavioral characterization and genetic analysis of the Drosophila melanogaster larval response to light as revealed by a novel individual assay.

abstract：:Heritability estimates of birth weight have been inconsistent. Possible explanations are heritability changes during gestational age or the influence of covariates (e.g. chorionicity). The aim of this study was to model birth weights of twins across gestational age and to quantify the genetic and environmental compone...
