Abstract excerpt
Longevity is a typical quantitative trait which is influenced by multiple genes. Here we explore the genetic variation in longevity of Drosophila melanogaster in both mildly heat-stressed and control flies. Quantitative trait loci (QTL) analysis for longevity was performed in a single-sex environment at 25°C with and without a mild heat-stress pre-treatment, using a previously reported set of recombinant inbred...
