A genome-wide search replicates evidence of a quantitative trait locus for circulating angiotensisn l-converting enzyme (ACE) unlinked to the ACE gene [PDF]
, 2008 Background: angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) plays an important role in cardiovascular homeostasis. There is evidence from different ethnic groups that circulating ACE levels are influenced by a quantitative trait locus (QTL) at the ACE gene on ...

Efficient QTL detection for nonhost resistance in wild lettuce: backcross inbred lines versus F2 [PDF]
, 2008 In plants, several population types [F2, recombinant inbred lines, backcross inbred lines (BILs), etc.] are used for quantitative trait locus (QTL) analyses.

Quantitative Trait Locus Analysis for Rice Yield Traits under Two Nitrogen Levels
Rice Science, 2015 A recombinant inbred line population derived from a super hybrid rice Xieyou 9308 (Xieqingzao B/Zhonghui 9308) and its genetic linkage map were used to detect quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for rice yield traits under the low and normal nitrogen (N ...

Identifying and Characterizing Candidate Genes Contributing to a Grain Yield QTL in Wheat
Plants, 2023 The current study focuses on identifying the candidate genes of a grain yield QTL from a double haploid population, Westonia × Kauz. The QTL region spans 20 Mbp on the IWGSC whole-genome sequence flank with 90K SNP markers.

Missing Heritability in the Tails of Quantitative Traits? A Simulation Study on the Impact of Slightly Altered True Genetic Models [PDF]
, 2011 Objective: Genome-wide association studies have identified robust associations between single nucleotide polymorphisms and complex traits. As the proportion of phenotypic variance explained is still limited for most of the traits, larger and larger meta ...

Regulatory Variation at Glypican-3 Underlies a Major Growth QTL in Mice [PDF]
, 2005 The genetic basis of variation in complex traits remains poorly understood, and few genes underlying variation have been identified. Previous work identified a quantitative trait locus (QTL) responsible for much of the response to selection on growth in ...

Quantitative trait loci influencing end-use quality traits of hard red spring wheat breeding lines
Czech Journal of Genetics and Plant Breeding, 2011 Wheat bread-making quality is influenced by a complex group of traits including dough visco-elastic characteristics. In this study, quantitative trait locus/loci (QTL) mapping and analysis were conducted for endosperm polymeric proteins together with ...

Quantitative trait locus analysis for hemostasis and thrombosis [PDF]
Mammalian Genome, 2008 Susceptibility to thrombosis varies in human populations as well as many in inbred mouse strains. The objective of this study was to characterize the genetic control of thrombotic risk on three chromosomes. Previously, utilizing a tail-bleeding/rebleeding assay as a surrogate of hemostasis and thrombosis function, three mouse chromosome substitution ...
