Expression quantitative trait loci analysis in plants [PDF]
An expression Quantitative Trait Locus or eQTL is a chromosomal region that accounts for a proportion of the variation in abundance of a mRNA transcript observed between individuals in a genetic mapping population.

Expression quantitative trait loci: present and future [PDF]
The last few years have seen the development of large efforts for the analysis of genome function, especially in the context of genome variation. One of the most prominent directions has been the extensive set of studies on expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs), namely, the discovery of genetic variants that explain variation in gene expression ...

Heritability and tissue specificity of expression quantitative trait loci. [PDF]
Variation in gene expression is heritable and has been mapped to the genome in humans and model organisms as expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs). We applied integrated genome-wide expression profiling and linkage analysis to the regulation of gene

Population differences in transcript-regulator expression quantitative trait loci.
Gene expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) are useful for identifying single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with diseases. At times, a genetic variant may be associated with a master regulator involved in the manifestation of a disease ...

Genome-wide identification of microRNA expression quantitative trait loci [PDF]
Identification of microRNA expression quantitative trait loci (miR-eQTL) can yield insights into regulatory mechanisms of microRNA transcription, and can help elucidate the role of microRNA as mediators of complex traits. Here we present a miR-eQTL mapping study of whole blood from 5,239 individuals, and identify 5,269 cis-miR-eQTLs for 76 mature ...

Common Expression Quantitative Trait Loci Shared by Histone Genes [PDF]
A genome-wide association study (GWAS) was conducted to examine expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs) for histone genes. We examined common eQTLs for multiple histone genes in 373 European lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs).

Genome-wide expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) analysis in maize [PDF]
Background Expression QTL analyses have shed light on transcriptional regulation in numerous species of plants, animals, and yeasts. These microarray-based analyses identify regulators of gene expression as either cis-acting factors that regulate ...

Genome-Wide Expression Quantitative Trait Loci Analysis Using Mixed Models [PDF]
Expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs) are important for understanding the genetic basis of cellular activities and complex phenotypes. Genome-wide eQTL analyses can be effectively conducted by employing a mixed model. The mixed model includes random

Modeling expression quantitative trait loci in data combining ethnic populations [PDF]
Background Combining data from different ethnic populations in a study can increase efficacy of methods designed to identify expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) compared to analyzing each population independently.
