Quantitative Trait Loci for Biofortification Traits in Maize Grain [PDF]

Journal of Heredity, 2011
Detecting genes that influence biofortification traits in cereal grain could help increase the concentrations of bioavailable mineral elements in crops to solve the global mineral malnutrition problem. The aims of this study were to detect the quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for phosphorus (P), iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), and magnesium (Mg) concentrations in ...

Unraveling the Genetic Architecture of Complex Traits in Plants

Acta Biológica Colombiana, 2023
Complex traits are those whose inheritance does not follow simple and predictable patterns. They are not governed by a single locus, instead, they are determined by several loci and are influenced by the environment.

Bayesian Quantitative Trait Loci Mapping for Multiple Traits [PDF]

Genetics, 2008
AbstractMost quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping experiments typically collect phenotypic data on multiple correlated complex traits. However, there is a lack of a comprehensive genomewide mapping strategy for correlated traits in the literature. We develop Bayesian multiple-QTL mapping methods for correlated continuous traits using two multivariate ...

Interpreting Functional Impact of Genetic Variations by Network QTL for Genotype–Phenotype Association Study

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022
An enormous challenge in the post-genome era is to annotate and resolve the consequences of genetic variation on diverse phenotypes. The genome-wide association study (GWAS) is a well-known method to identify potential genetic loci for complex traits ...

Genetic regulation of cholesterol absorption and plasma plant sterol levels

Journal of Lipid Research, 2003
The molecular basis of the processes that control two closely related traits, the absorption of cholesterol from the intestines and plasma plant sterol levels, are only partially understood. The discovery that mutations in two novel hemitransporters, ATP

Mapping and Validation of Quantitative Trait Loci for Root Architectural Traits in Rice (Oryza sativa) under Non-Stress and Salinity Stress Conditions

Tropical Agricultural Research, 2018
Root architectural traits are governed by many genes exhibiting polygenic inheritance. The dissection of the genetic basis of root traits could be achieved by mapping of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) using molecular markers.

Marker-Assisted Introgression of Quantitative Trait Loci [PDF]

Genetics, 1997
The use of molecular markers for the introgression of one or several superior QTL alleles into a recipient line is investigated using analytic and simulation results. The positions of the markers devoted to the control of the genotype at the QTLs in a “foreground selection” step are optimized given the confidence interval of the QTL position.

Massively parallel reporter assay confirms regulatory potential of hQTLs and reveals important variants in lupus and other autoimmune diseases

HGG Advances
Summary: We designed a massively parallel reporter assay (MPRA) in an Epstein-Barr virus transformed B cell line to directly characterize the potential for histone post-translational modifications, i.e., histone quantitative trait loci (hQTLs ...

Integration of QTL and bioinformatic tools to identify candidate genes for triglycerides in mice

Journal of Lipid Research, 2011
To identify genetic loci influencing lipid levels, we performed quantitative trait loci (QTL) analysis between inbred mouse strains MRL/MpJ and SM/J, measuring triglyceride levels at 8 weeks of age in F2 mice fed a chow diet.

Mapping epistatic quantitative trait loci

BMC Genetics, 2014
How to map quantitative trait loci (QTL) with epistasis efficiently and reliably has been a persistent problem for QTL mapping analysis. There are a number of difficulties for studying epistatic QTL. Linkage can impose a significant challenge for finding epistatic QTL reliably. If multiple QTL are in linkage and have interactions, searching for QTL can
