Quantitative trait loci for life span in Drosophila melanogaster: interactions with genetic background and larval density.
Genetics - 1 Aug 2000
Leips J, Mackay T F
Abstract excerpt
The genetic architecture of variation in adult life span was examined for a population of recombinant inbred lines, each of which had been crossed to both inbred parental strains from which the lines were derived, after emergence from both high and low larval density. QTL affecting life span were mapped within each sex and larval density treatment by linkage to highly polymorphic roo-transposable element markers,...
