Quantitative Trait Loci Affecting Milk Production Traits in Finnish Ayrshire Dairy Cattle

open access: yes, 2003
A whole genome scan of Finnish Ayrshire was conducted tomap quantitative trait loci (QTL) affecting milk production. The analysis included 12 half-sib families containing a total of 494 bulls in a granddaughter design.

Parent-of-origin-specific allelic associations among 106 genomic loci for age at menarche. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Age at menarche is a marker of timing of puberty in females. It varies widely between individuals, is a heritable trait and is associated with risks for obesity, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, breast cancer and all-cause mortality.

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

open access: yesHGG 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

open access: yesJournal 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

open access: yesBMC 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

Nonparametric Functional Mapping of Quantitative Trait Loci [PDF]

open access: yesBiometrics, 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.

Genetic variation and quantitative trait loci associated with developmental stability and the environmental correlation between traits in maize

open access: yes, 2008
There is limited experimental information about the genetic basis of micro-environmental variance (V-E) (developmental stability) and environmental correlations.

Linkage disequilibrium interval mapping of quantitative trait loci

open access: yesBMC 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 ...

Directed evolution of enzymes at the crossroads of tradition and innovation

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
An iterative cycle of data‐driven enzyme optimization comprising four stages: genetic diversification of a template enzyme, expression of protein variants, high‐throughput evaluation, and machine‐learning‐guided redesign of the next variant library.

Mechanostimulatory Cues Determine Intestinal Fibroblast Fate and Profibrotic Remodeling in a Physiodynamic Human Gut‐on‐a‐Chip

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A healthy gut barrier shields underlying fibroblasts from luminal shear forces, illustrating that “good fences make good neighbors.” Barrier damage exposes fibroblasts to shear stress, inducing cell death and the emergence of stress‐adapted, profibrotic fibroblasts. Sustained shear exposure promotes the formation of stiff aggregates of mechanoadapative
