Quantitative Trait Loci (QTLs) mapping for growth traits in the mouse: A review [PDF]
Genetics Selection Evolution, 2001 The attainment of a specific mature body size is one of the most fundamental differences among species of mammals. Moreover, body size seems to be the central factor underlying differences in traits such as growth rate, energy metabolism and body composition. An important proportion of this variability is of genetic origin.

Virulence attributes and hyphal growth of C. neoformans are quantitative traits and the MATalpha allele enhances filamentation. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2006 Cryptococcus neoformans is a fungal human pathogen with a bipolar mating system. It undergoes a dimorphic transition from a unicellular yeast to hyphal filamentous growth during mating and monokaryotic fruiting. The traditional sexual cycle that leads to

Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2012 Spawning time in salmonids is a sex-limited quantitative trait that can be modified by selection. In rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), various quantitative trait loci (QTL) that affect the expression of this trait have been discovered.

Limitation of number of strains and persistence of false positive loci in QTL mapping using recombinant inbred strains. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 While the identification of causal genes of quantitative trait loci (QTL) remains a difficult problem in the post-genome era, the number of QTL continues to accumulate, mainly identified using the recombinant inbred (RI) strains.

BMC Genomics, 2019 Background Little is known about the genetic architecture of economically important traits in Brown Swiss cattle because only few genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have been carried out in this breed.

Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL) Detection in Multicross Inbred Designs [PDF]
Genetics, 2004 Abstract Mapping quantitative trait loci in plants is usually conducted using a population derived from a cross between two inbred lines. The power of such QTL detection and the parameter estimates depend largely on the choice of the two parental lines. Thus, the QTL detected in such populations represent only a small part of the genetic

Evaluating Selection of a Quantitative Trait: Snow Mold Tolerance in Winter Wheat
Agrosystems, Geosciences & Environment, 2019 Core Ideas Six quantitative trait loci for snow mold tolerance were detected in a winter wheat recombinant inbred line population. Marker‐assisted selection to incorporate QTL is unlikely to help breed for highly quantitative traits.

Genetic Mapping of the QTL Affecting Abdominal Fat Deposition in Chickens
The Journal of Poultry Science, 2001 To identify the quantitative trait loci (QTL) affecting abdominal fat deposition in chickens, we carried out QTL analysis on this trait using a resource population of 222 F2 progeny from a cross between a Satsumadori (a Japanese native breed showing ...

Nature Communications, 2021 Cloning quantitative trait loci (QTL) in crops is often slow and laborious. Here, the authors describe RapMap, a method to rapidly clone multiple QTL based on F2 gradient populations coupled with a co-segregation standard, and show how it can be used to ...
