Multiple-trait quantitative trait locus mapping with incomplete phenotypic data [PDF]
Background Conventional multiple-trait quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping methods must discard cases (individuals) with incomplete phenotypic data, thereby sacrificing other phenotypic and genotypic information contained in the discarded cases. Under

A molecular quantitative trait locus map for osteoarthritis [PDF]
Understanding the molecular effects of disease variants in relevant tissues is essential to understanding and treating disease. Here, the authors discover expression and protein quantitative trait loci in cartilage and synovium from 115 osteoarthritis ...

Complex genetic interactions in a quantitative trait locus. [PDF]
Whether in natural populations or between two unrelated members of a species, most phenotypic variation is quantitative. To analyze such quantitative traits, one must first map the underlying quantitative trait loci.

Mapping of a Quantitative Trait Locus for Stay-Green Trait in Common Wheat [PDF]
The stay-green (SG) trait enhances photosynthetic activity during the late grain-filling period, benefiting grain yield under drought and heat stresses. CH7034 is a wheat breeding line with SG.

A quantitative trait locus analysis of personality in wild bighorn sheep [PDF]
Personality, the presence of persistent behav105 ioral differences among individuals over time or contexts, potentially has important ecological and evolutionary consequences. However, a lack of knowledge about its genetic architecture limits our ability

Cell Specific eQTL Analysis without Sorting Cells. [PDF]
The functional consequences of trait associated SNPs are often investigated using expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL) mapping. While trait-associated variants may operate in a cell-type specific manner, eQTL datasets for such cell-types may not ...
