Protein quantitative trait locus study in obesity during weight-loss identifies a leptin regulator
Nature Communications, 2017 Thousands of genetic variants have been associated with complex traits through genome-wide association studies. However, the functional variants or mechanistic consequences remain elusive. Intermediate traits such as gene expression or protein levels are

The Genetic Structures and Molecular Mechanisms Underlying Ear Traits in Maize (Zea mays L.)
Cells, 2023 Maize (Zea mays L.) is one of the world’s staple food crops. In order to feed the growing world population, improving maize yield is a top priority for breeding programs. Ear traits are important determinants of maize yield, and are mostly quantitatively

Expression Quantitative Trait Locus Mapping in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension [PDF]
Genes, 2020 Expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) can provide a link between disease susceptibility variants discovered by genetic association studies and biology. To date, eQTL mapping studies have been primarily conducted in healthy individuals from population-based cohorts.

Genomic prediction from observed and imputed high-density ovine genotypes
Genetics Selection Evolution, 2017 Background Genomic prediction using high-density (HD) marker genotypes is expected to lead to higher prediction accuracy, particularly for more heterogeneous multi-breed and crossbred populations such as those in sheep and beef cattle, due to providing ...

Mapping QTLs for mineral accumulation and shoot dry biomass under different Zn nutritional conditions in Chinese cabbage ( Brassica rapa L. ssp. pekinensis ) [PDF]
, 2008 Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa L. ssp. pekinensis) is one of the most important vegetables in China. Genetic dissection of leaf mineral accumulation and tolerance to Zn stress is important for the improvement of the nutritional quality of Chinese cabbage

The X Chromosome in Quantitative Trait Locus Mapping [PDF]
Genetics, 2006 AbstractThe X chromosome requires special treatment in the mapping of quantitative trait loci (QTL). However, most QTL mapping methods, and most computer programs for QTL mapping, have focused exclusively on autosomal loci. We describe a method for appropriate treatment of the X chromosome for QTL mapping in experimental crosses.

Plant Production Science, 2006 We investigated the tolerance to flooding in reducing conditions of five maize inbred lines and identified a quantitative trait locus (QTL) for the trait. Flooding treatment with 0.1% to 0.4% starch solution for 14 d reduced soil redox potential to about
