SGN Database: From QTLs to Genomes [PDF]
Quantitative trait loci (QTL) analysis is used to dissect the genetic basis underlying polygenic traits. Several public databases have been storing and making QTL data available to research communities.

QTL Mapping to QTL Cloning: Mice to the Rescue [PDF]
With the availability of dense, highly informative marker maps, it has recently become feasible to map genes (Quantitative Trait Loci or QTL) accounting for part of the heritability of continuously distributed traits in experimental crosses as well as outbred populations. QTL mapping efforts have almost invariably revealed a limited number of loci with

A behavioral model for mapping the genetic architecture of gut-microbiota networks
The gut microbiota may play an important role in affecting human health. To explore the genetic mechanisms underlying microbiota-host relationships, many genome-wide association studies have begun to identify host genes that shape the microbial ...

A simple regression-based method to map quantitative trait loci underlying function-valued phenotypes [PDF]
Most statistical methods for QTL mapping focus on a single phenotype. However, multiple phenotypes are commonly measured, and recent technological advances have greatly simplified the automated acquisition of numerous phenotypes, including function-valued phenotypes, such as growth measured over time.

Natural selection sculpts phenotypes to enable adaptation to local conditions. Biologists have long been interested in the phenotypic and molecular response to selection, but we still know little about the genetic basis of adaptation. With continuing improvements in molecular technologies, we now have the tools to investigate the genes that underlie ...

Novel QTL and Meta-QTL Mapping for Major Quality Traits in Soybean [PDF]
Isoflavone, protein, and oil are the most important quality traits in soybean. Since these phenotypes are typically quantitative traits, quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping has been an efficient way to clarify their complex and unclear genetic background.

Abstract Clubroot, caused by Plasmodiophora brassicae, is an important disease of brassica crops worldwide. Vegetable turnip (Brassica rapa L.) have proven to be a source of clubroot resistance genes effective against many pathotypes of P. brassicae. The F1 progeny from the cross B. rapa canola ACDC (susceptible, S) × B. rapa turnip ECD02 (resistant, R)
