Tightly linked antagonistic‐effect loci underlie polygenic phenotypic variation in C. elegans

Abstract Recent work has provided strong empirical support for the classic polygenic model for trait variation. Population‐based findings suggest that most regions of genome harbor variation affecting most traits. Here, we use the approach of experimental genetics to show that, indeed, most genomic...
