Mapping Splicing Quantitative Trait Loci in RNA-Seq

Cancer Informatics, 2015
Background One of the major mechanisms of generating mRNA diversity is alternative splicing, a regulated process that allows for the flexibility of producing functionally different proteins from the same genomic sequences.

Heterotic quantitative trait loci analysis and genomic prediction of seedling biomass-related traits in maize triple testcross populations

Plant Methods, 2021
Background Heterosis has been widely used in maize breeding. However, we know little about the heterotic quantitative trait loci and their roles in genomic prediction.

Whole genome QTL mapping for growth, meat quality and breast meat yield traits in turkey

BMC Genetics, 2011
Background The turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) is an important agricultural species and is the second largest contributor to the world's poultry meat production. Demand of turkey meat is increasing very rapidly.

Quantitative trait loci and metabolic pathways [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1998
The interpretation of quantitative trait locus (QTL) studies is limited by the lack of information on metabolic pathways leading to most economic traits. Inferences about the roles of the underlying genes with a pathway or the nature of their interaction with other loci are generally not possible. An exception is resistance to the corn

Mapping quantitative trait loci affecting skeletal asymmetry in Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica) [PDF]

مجله بیوتکنولوژی کشاورزی, 2017
Asymmetry is an indicator of genetic and environmental stressors in organisms and plays an important role in developmental instability. It is suggested that symmetrical individuals do generally have faster growth, higher fecundity, and better survival ...

Identifying Quantitative Trait Loci and Candidate Genes Conferring Resistance to Soybean Mosaic Virus SC7 by Quantitative Trait Loci-Sequencing in Soybean

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Soybean mosaic virus (SMV) is detrimental to soybean (Glycine max) breeding, seed quality, and yield worldwide. Improving the basic resistance of host plants is the most effective and economical method to reduce damage from SMV.

Genome-wide association study to identify genomic loci associated with early vigor in bread wheat under simulated water deficit complemented with quantitative trait loci meta-analysis

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2022
A genome-wide association study (GWAS) was used to identify associated loci with early vigor under simulated water deficit and grain yield under field drought in a diverse collection of Iranian bread wheat landraces.

Mapping quantitative trait loci for behavioral traits in the mouse [PDF]

Behavior Genetics, 1992
After many years of studying various behavioral characters in the mouse, it is clear that most are heritable and are specified by complexes of genes or quantitative trait loci (QTLs). In order to attain a more complete understanding of the genetic causes of individual differences in behavior, the mechanism of action of these QTLs must be elucidated ...

Quantitative Trait Locus and Genetical Genomics Analysis Identifies Putatively Causal Genes for Fecundity and Brooding in the Chicken

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2016
Life history traits such as fecundity are important to evolution because they make up components of lifetime fitness. Due to their polygenic architectures, such traits are difficult to investigate with genetic mapping.
