Genetic complexity at expression quantitative trait loci [PDF]
Identifying variants that regulate gene expression and delineating their genetic architecture is a critical next step in our endeavors to better understand the genetic etiology of complex diseases. The appropriate genomic tools are in place, and preliminary analytic strategies have been developed.Here we used Genetic Analysis Workshop (GAW) 19 data to ...

Expression quantitative trait loci analysis in plants [PDF]
SummaryAn 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. A single gene can have one or multiple eQTLs. Large scale mRNA profiling technologies advanced genome‐wide eQTL mapping in a diverse

Comparing Quantitative Trait Loci and Gene Expression Data [PDF]
We develop methods to compare the positions of quantitative trait loci (QTL) with a set of genes selected by other methods, such as microarray experiments, from a sequenced genome. We apply our methods to QTL for addictive behavior in mouse, and a set of genes upregulated in a region of the brain associated with addictive behavior, the nucleus ...

Determining causality and consequence of expression quantitative trait loci [PDF]
Expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs) are currently the most abundant and systematically-surveyed class of functional consequence for genetic variation. Recent genetic studies of gene expression have identified thousands of eQTLs in diverse tissue types for the majority of human genes.

The role of heritability in mapping expression quantitative trait loci [PDF]
Abstract Gene expression, as a heritable complex trait, has recently been used in many genome-wide linkage studies. The estimated overall heritability of each trait may be considered as evidence of a genetic contribution to the total phenotypic variation, which implies the possibility of mapping genome regions responsible for the gene ...

Hierarchical modeling of clinical and expression quantitative trait loci [PDF]
Previous articles have presented clinical quantitative trait locus (cQTL) models, where the information provided by quantitative/qualitative phenotypes, molecular markers and gene expressions (transcription levels) were combined and analyzed simultaneously.

A Statistical Framework for Expression Quantitative Trait Loci Mapping [PDF]
AbstractIn 2001, Sen and Churchill reported a general Bayesian framework for quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping in inbred line crosses. The framework is a powerful one, as many QTL mapping methods can be represented as special cases and many important considerations are accommodated.

An eQTL analysis of partial resistance to Puccinia hordei in barley [PDF]
Background - Genetic resistance to barley leaf rust caused by Puccinia hordei involves both R genes and quantitative trait loci. The R genes provide higher but less durable resistance than the quantitative trait loci. Consequently, exploring quantitative

Characterization of Expression Quantitative Trait Loci in the Human Colon [PDF]
Many genetic risk loci have been identified for inflammatory bowel disease and colorectal cancer; however, identifying the causal genes for each association signal remains a challenge. Expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) studies have identified common variants that induce differential gene expression and eQTLs can be cross-referenced with disease
