He was educated at Peterhouse, Cambridge where he graduated with a first class degree in Natural Sciences in 1976 and gained his PhD under Godfrey Hewitt at the University of East Anglia in 1979. After a brief spell as a lab demonstrator at the University of Cambridge , he became a Lecturer at the Department of Genetics and Biometry, University College London , in 1982. Professor Barton is best known for his work on hybrid zones, often using the toad Bombina bombina as a study organism, and for extending the mathematical machinery needed to investigate multilocus genetics, a field in which he worked in collaboration with Michael Turelli . Concrete research questions he has investigated include the role of epistasis , the evolution of sex , speciation , and the limits on the rate of adaptation . Barton moved to the University of Edinburgh in 1990, where he is said to have been instrumental in attracting to the university Brian Charlesworth Brian and Deborah Charlesworth , with whom he had previously collaborated, thus complementing the university s strong tradition in quantitative genetics with a population genetics side and making the University of Edinburgh one of the foremost research institutions of genetics in the ... more details

See also Epistasis Quantitative traits refer to phenotype s characteristics that vary in degree and can be attributed to polygene polygenic effects, i.e., product of two or more genes , and their environment. Quantitative trait loci QTLs are stretches of DNA containing or linked to the genes that underlie a quantitative trait. Mapping regions of the genome that contain genes involved in specifying a quantitative trait is done using molecular tags such as amplified fragment length polymorphism AFLP or, more commonly single nucleotide polymorphism SNPs . This is an early step in identifying and sequencing the actual genes underlying trait variation. Quantitative traits Polygenic inheritance , also known as quantitative or multifactorial inheritance , refers to inheritance of a phenotype phenotypic characteristic trait that is attributable to two or more genes , or the interaction with the environment, or both. Unlike monogenic trait s, polygenic traits do not follow patterns of Mendelian inheritance separated traits . Instead, their phenotypes typically vary along a continuous gradient depicted by a Normal distribution bell curve . ref citation author Ricki Lewis title Multifactorial Traits url http highered.mcgraw hill.com sites 007246268x student view0 chapter7 publisher McGraw Hill Higher Education year 2003 . ref An example of a polygenic trait is human skin color.

Refimprove date February 2012 Hatnote Epitaxis redirects here. For the main action of a classical drama , see Epitasis . For the phenomenon involving the modification of one gene s effects by one or more other genes, see Epistasis . Epitaxy refers to the deposition of a crystalline overlayer on a crystalline substrate, where the overlayer is in registry with the substrate. In other words, there must be one or more preferred orientations of the overlayer with respect to the substrate for this to be termed epitaxial growth. The overlayer is called an epitaxial film or epitaxial layer. The term epitaxy comes from the Greek language Greek roots epi , meaning above , and taxis , meaning in ordered manner . It can be translated to arrange upon . For most technological applications, it is desired that the deposited material form a crystalline overlayer that has one well defined orientation with respect to the substrate crystal structure single domain epitaxy . Epitaxial films may be grown from gas eous or liquid precursors. Because the substrate acts as a seed crystal , the deposited film may lock into one or more crystallographic orientations with respect to the substrate crystal. If the overlayer either forms a random orientation with respect to the substrate or does not form an ordered overlayer, this is termed non epitaxial growth. If an epitaxial film is deposited on a substrate of the same composition, the process is called homoepitaxy otherwise it is called heteroepitaxy. Homoepitaxy is a kind of epitaxy performed with only one material. In homoepitaxy, a crystal line film is grown on a substrate or film of the same material. This technology is used to grow a film which is more pure than the substrate and to fabricate layers having different Doping semiconductors doping levels. In academic literature, homoepitaxy is often abbreviated to homoepi . Heteroepitaxy is a kind of epitaxy performed with materials that are different from each other. In heteroepitaxy, a cryst ... more details
Other uses A supergene is a group of neighbouring gene s on a chromosome which are inherited together because of close genetic linkage and are functionally related in an evolutionary sense, although they are rarely gene regulation co regulated genetically. ref cite journal author Joron M, Papa R, Beltr n M, et al. title A conserved supergene locus controls colour pattern diversity in Heliconius butterflies journal PLoS Biol. volume 4 issue 10 pages e303 year 2006 pmid 17002517 url http biology.plosjournals.org perlserv ?request get document&doi 10.1371 journal.pbio.0040303 doi 10.1371 journal.pbio.0040303 pmc 1570757 ref Supergenes have Cis regulatory element cis effect s due to multiple locus genetics loci which may be within a gene, or within a single gene s gene regulation regulatory region , and tight linkage. They are classically Polymorphism biology polymorphic , and different elements code for different fitness effects which combine to form a coherent or epistasis epistatic whole. The two classic supergenes are 1 the Primula heterostyly locus, which controls Dimorphous flower pin and Dimorphous flower thrum types, and 2 the locus controlling Batesian mimicry Batesian mimetic polymorphism in Papilio memnon butterflies. For example, pin and thrum morphs of Primula have effects on genetic compatibility pin carpel style x thrum pollen , or thrum style x pin pollen matings are successful, while pin x pin, and thrum x thrum matings are rarely successful due to pollen style Self incompatibility in plants incompatibility , and have different style length, anther height in the corolla flower corolla tube, pollen size, and wiktionary Papilla papilla size on the carpel stigma . Each of these effects is controlled by a different locus in the same supergene, but recombinants are occasionally found with traits combining those of pin and thrum morphs. Gene complexes , in contrast, are simply tightly linked groups of genes, often created via gene duplication sometimes called ... more details
