Actually, on the same topic I would also like to announce our new paper in G3.
Navarro N and Maga AM. 2016. Does 3D Phenotyping Yield Substantial Insights in the Genetics of the Mouse Mandible Shape? Available early online at http://www.g3journal.org/content/early/2016/02/22/g3.115.024372.abstract We revisit the early investigations of mandible genetics through geometric morphometrics and demonstrate the gain-of-information when 3D morphometrics is used along with dense landmarking. We also favor a true multivariate analyses that uses all phenotypic traits, as oppose to mapping them individually. The R package for the shape mapping (R/shapeQTL) is available through Dr. Nicolas Navarro’s website (http://nnavarro.free.fr/) and also on github.

Mitteroecker P, Cheverud JM, Pavlicev M (2016) Multivariate Analysis of Genotype-Phenotype Association. Genetics http://www.genetics.org/content/early/2016/02/18/genetics.115.181339 It offers an exploratory strategy for mapping multivariate data and is particularly suited for geometric morphometrics. The new method identifies patterns of allelic variation (genetic latent variables) that are maximally associated - in terms of effect size - with patterns of phenotypic variation (phenotypic latent variables). It thereby separates phenotypic features under strong genetic control from less genetically determined features and thus permits an analysis of the multivariate structure of genotype-phenotype association, including its "dimensionality" and the clustering of genetic and phenotypic variables within this association.
