Explaining the heritability of an ecologically significant trait in terms of individual quantitative trait loci.

Biology letters - 23 Dec 2011

Scoville Alison G, Lee Young Wha, Willis John H, Kelly John K

Abstract excerpt

Most natural populations display substantial genetic variation in behaviour, morphology, physiology, life history and the susceptibility to disease. A major challenge is to determine the contributions of individual loci to variation in complex traits. Quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping has identified genomic regions affecting ecologically significant traits of many species. In nearly all cases, however, the...
