The data consists in 370 founder individuals from the HapMap Phase III datasets, of the CEU, TSI, CHB and JPT populations. 

更好地理解 - better understand

This enables scientists to better understand molecular processes, biological functions and disease associations, which will ultimately lead to better biomedical knowledge for the development of biomarkers for diagnostics and therapies.

对，，起作用， - account for, be responsible for

Although low population densities may account for the detection of some lineages only within relatively small regions of Africa, other factors may be responsible for the minimal degrees of movement observed for fairly common lineages, such as MSV-A4V (zones 13 and 14 in Fig. 2M), corroborating the commonly observed localization of MSV-A4 genomes to southern Africa (39, 69).

时间逝去 - elapse

Please do not contact our office again before 28 days have elapsed.

exploit - 开发、利用、剥削

Am I right to exploit him in this way?

但我用这种方法剥削他，合适吗？

strip somebody of sth. - 去除脱掉某人的什么东西

They strip him of his mystique.

咀嚼、吞咽数据 - crunch data

crunch data

关于 - pertain to

As GWAS applications have evolved so too have the community standards that pertain to them.

隐藏，潜伏 - lurk

Preventing a Disease Lurking in Her Genome

减弱坏的影响 - mitigate the effects

Two approaches to mitigating the eff ects of LD are to include markers that are separated from each other by a certain genetic distance, or to thin the markers according the observed sample correlation coeffi cients.

on phylogeny tree

Trees provide a simplified model of history that does not accommodate the possibility of gene flow afterpopulation separation.

significant additive detected

We also detected significant additive genetic variance for the four morphological traits tested: adult weight, leg length, horn length, and scrotal circumference. The other fitted random effects were statistically significant sources of variance for all traits, except for scrotal circumference.

The multivariate genetic variance-covariance structure is predominantly characterized by positive relationships among the four adult sheep traits.

overtake, lag behind - 超过，落后

Since then, genomics has become even less of a national priority, and other countries have overtaken France. In terms of sequencing infrastructure, France lags behind its European peers Germany and the UK. 

impede - 阻碍

Inability to obtain accurate heritability estimates under natural conditions has impeded studies of behavioural trait evolution.

evoke the question - 导致了问题

evoke, cause

This evokes the question: how many individuals and how many times does each individual need to be measured to obtain a precise estimate of repeatability.

concomitant increase - 伴随的增长

There was a concomitant increase in lifetime reproductive success as women whobegan their reproduction earlier generally had more children surviving toadulthood. 

by no means - 绝不

This is by no means the end of the discussion

ponder, think about, think of - 深思熟虑

Before I move to our findings, it's worth pondering a bit more on the issue of biases in the data.

施加限制 - pose

Ecological dynamics may pose long-term evolutionary constrains on marginal populations.
