Understanding quantitative genetic variation.

Nature reviews. Genetics - 1 Jan 2002

Barton N H, Keightley P D

Abstract excerpt

Until recently, it was impracticable to identify the genes that are responsible for variation in continuous traits, or to directly observe the effects of their different alleles. Now, the abundance of genetic markers has made it possible to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL)--the regions of a chromosome or, ideally, individual sequence variants that are responsible for trait variation. What kind of QTL do we...
