Combined Expression Trait Correlations and Expression Quantitative Trait Locus Mapping
Coordinated regulation of gene expression levels across a series of experimental conditions provides valuable information about the functions of correlated transcripts. The consideration of gene expression correlation over a time or tissue dimension has proved valuable in predicting gene function. Here, we consider correlations over a genetic dimension. In addition to identifying coregulated ge...
متن کاملHierarchical generalized linear models for multiple quantitative trait locus mapping.
We develop hierarchical generalized linear models and computationally efficient algorithms for genomewide analysis of quantitative trait loci (QTL) for various types of phenotypes in experimental crosses. The proposed models can fit a large number of effects, including covariates, main effects of numerous loci, and gene-gene (epistasis) and gene-environment (G x E) interactions. The key to the ...
متن کاملQuantitative Trait Locus Analysis: Multiple Cross and Heterogeneous Stock Mapping
Until well into the 1990s, both preclinical and clinical research focused on finding "the" gene for human diseases, including alcoholism. This focus was reinforced by the emergence of technologies to either inactivate (i.e., knock out) a gene or add extra copies of an existing gene in a living organism, which clearly demonstrated that over- or underexpressing a single gene could have a profound...
متن کاملAdvances in Quantitative Trait Locus Mapping
The mapping of loci underlying variation in quantitative traits is proving to be a powerful tool in genetic studies of animals and other organisms. Quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping in crosses between genetically diverse lines has shown the presence of many QTL, as similarly have studies within livestock populations. Although much remains to be done with this type of analysis, higher resol...
متن کاملMultiple trait analysis of genetic mapping for quantitative trait loci.
We present in this paper models and statistical methods for performing multiple trait analysis on mapping quantitative trait loci (QTL) based on the composite interval mapping method. By taking into account the correlated structure of multiple traits, this joint analysis has several advantages, compared with separate analyses, for mapping QTL, including the expected improvement on the statistic...
