Relating multivariate shapes to genescapes using phenotype-biological process associations for craniofacial shape

Realistic mappings of genes to morphology are inherently multivariate on both sides of the equation. The importance of coordinated gene effects on morphological phenotypes is clear from the intertwining of gene actions in signaling pathways, gene regulatory networks, and developmental processes unde...
