Twenty Years Later: A Comprehensive Review of the X Chromosome Use in Forensic Genetics.

abstract：:Complex traits are manifestations of intricate gene interaction networks. Evolution of complex traits revolves around the genetic variation in such networks. Genomics has increased our ability to investigate the complex gene interaction networks, and characterize the extent of genetic variation in these networks. Immu...
