Nonparametric Functional Mapping of Quantitative Trait Loci [PDF]

Biometrics, 2009
SummaryFunctional mapping is a useful tool for mapping quantitative trait loci (QTL) that control dynamic traits. It incorporates mathematical aspects of biological processes into the mixture model‐based likelihood setting for QTL mapping, thus increasing the power of QTL detection and the precision of parameter estimation.

Linkage disequilibrium interval mapping of quantitative trait loci

BMC Genomics, 2006
Background For many years gene mapping studies have been performed through linkage analyses based on pedigree data. Recently, linkage disequilibrium methods based on unrelated individuals have been advocated as powerful tools to refine estimates of gene ...

Druggable genome-wide Mendelian randomization integrating GWAS and eQTL/pQTL data identifies targets for lung squamous cell carcinoma

Scientific Reports
Lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) is one of the most common types of non-small cell lung cancer with poor prognosis. Druggable genome-wide Mendelian randomization (MR) was conducted to discover LUSC-related targets using expression quantitative trait ...

Genetic mapping of quantitative trait loci in crops

Crop Journal, 2017
Dissecting the genetic architecture of complex traits is an ongoing challenge for geneticists. Two complementary approaches for genetic mapping, linkage mapping and association mapping have led to successful dissection of complex traits in many crop ...

CHROMOSOME LOCATION OF GENETIC FACTORS DETERMINIG PHYSIOLOGICAL AND BIOCHEMICAL PROCESSES ASSOCIATED WITH DROUGHT TOLERANCE IN WHEAT TRITICUM AESTIVUM L. [PDF]

Journal of Stress Physiology & Biochemistry, 2012
Drought tolerance is characterized as the most recalcitrant trait to improve for its complexity and considered target for genomic-assisted improvement. A profitable genetic strategy lies in the discovery and exploitation of quantitative trait loci (QTL ...

Population differences in transcript-regulator expression quantitative trait loci.

PLoS ONE, 2012
Gene expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) are useful for identifying single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with diseases. At times, a genetic variant may be associated with a master regulator involved in the manifestation of a disease ...

Identification of potential therapeutic targets for problematic alcohol use using multi-omics dataResearch in context

EBioMedicine
Summary: Background: Problematic alcohol use (PAU) is a serious global health issue with limited treatment options. Although genetic studies have identified genomic regions associated with PAU, the specific causal genes and proteins remain unclear. This

Quantitative trait loci for physical activity traits in mice

Physiological Genomics, 2008
The genomic locations and identities of the genes that regulate voluntary physical activity are presently unknown. The purpose of this study was to search for quantitative trait loci (QTL) that are linked with daily mouse running wheel distance, duration, and speed of exercise. F2animals ( n = 310) derived from high active C57L/J and low active C3H/HeJ

Loci nominally associated with autism from genome-wide analysis show enrichment of brain expression quantitative trait loci but not lymphoblastoid cell line expression quantitative trait loci

Molecular Autism, 2012
Background Autism spectrum disorder is a severe early onset neurodevelopmental disorder with high heritability but significant heterogeneity. Traditional genome-wide approaches to test for an association of common variants with autism susceptibility risk

Quantitative trait loci mapping of panicle traits in rice.

Molecular biology research communications, 2019
In this study 90 individuals of recombinant inbred lines (RILs) were developed by crossing subspecies of japonica rice cultivar, 'Nagdong' and an indica type cultivar, 'Cheongcheong'. These individuals were used to identify the quantitative trait loci of panicle traits using SSR markers.
