Morphometric and Genetic Description of Trophic Adaptations in Cichlid Fishes
Biology, 2022 Since Darwin, biologists have sought to understand the evolution and origins of phenotypic adaptations. The skull is particularly diverse due to intense natural selection on feeding biomechanics.

Quantitative Trait Loci for Murine Growth [PDF]
Genetics, 1996 Abstract Body size is an archetypal quantitative trait with variation due to the segregation of many gene loci, each of relatively minor effect, and the environment. We examine the effects of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) on age-specific body weights and growth in the F2 intercross of the LG/J and SM/J strains of inbred mice.

Pan-Genomic Regulation of Gene Expression in Normal and Pathological Human Placentas
Cells, 2023 In this study, we attempted to find genetic variants affecting gene expression (eQTL = expression Quantitative Trait Loci) in the human placenta in normal and pathological situations.

Quantitative Trait Loci: A Meta-analysis [PDF]
Genetics, 2000 Abstract This article presents a method to combine QTL results from different independent analyses. This method provides a modified Akaike criterion that can be used to decide how many QTL are actually represented by the QTL detected in different experiments. This criterion is computed to choose between models with one, two, three, etc.,

Mapping Splicing Quantitative Trait Loci in RNA-Seq
Cancer Informatics, 2014 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.

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.

Promoter-interacting expression quantitative trait loci are enriched for functional genetic variants
Nature Genetics, 2020 Expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs) studies provide associations of genetic variants with gene expression but fall short of pinpointing functionally important eQTLs.

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.
