The latest issue of Nature Review Genetics has a paper by Andreas Wagner with some interesting perspective on molecular evolution. I don't plan to discuss it in class, but you might find it interesting. Here's the link.

There's also a paper in PLoS Genetics that you might find interesting. It's an alternative to QTL mapping in which all of the data are used simultaneously to predict phenotypes, and the particular loci that have an important influence on the trait emerge more naturally from the analysis.
