Reverse engineering the genotype-phenotype map with natural genetic variation.

Abstract excerpt

The genetic variation that occurs naturally in a population is a powerful resource for studying how genotype affects phenotype. Each allele is a perturbation of the biological system, and genetic crosses, through the processes of recombination and segregation, randomize the distribution of these alleles among the progeny of a cross. The randomized genetic perturbations affect traits directly and indirectly, and...
