Projects
My laboratory is currently pursuing work with over 13 major projects that mostly concern quantitative genetics and morphology. The research in quantitative genetics concerns the development and genetic constraints imposed on the rate and direction of evolution by heritable variation patterns and the evolution of genetic variation patterns themselves. Each project listed gives a brief description, sources of funding, collaborations, and topic-specific publications that the Cheverud Lab has completed.
- Genetic Architecture and Evolution
- Primate Systematics and Morphological Integration
- Mouse Gene Mapping: Bone, Obesity, and Leptin
- Developmental Genetics of Long Bone Growth
- Dietary Obesity and Diabetes
- Genetic Correlates of Schizophrenia in the Mouse
- Genetics of Growth
- Genetics of t-AML Cancer in the Mouse
- Craniofacial Genes and Human Evolution
- LG/J by SM/J Mouse Intercross Populations
- Parent of Origin Effects: Maternal Effects and Genomic Imprinting
- Genetics of Wound Healing
