Abstract excerpt
Whole-organism metabolic rate co-varies allometrically with body mass, and is also affected by temperature through different biochemical mechanisms. Here we implement a computational platform to map specific quantitative trait loci (QTLs) that govern the dependence of metabolic rate on size and temperature. The model was formulated within settings of genetic mapping or genome-wide association studies through a...
