Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: There are significant limitations in existing methods for the genome-wide identification of genes whose expression patterns affect traits. RESULTS: The transcriptomes of five tissues from 27 genetically diverse maize inbred lines were deeply sequenced to identify genes exhibiting high and low levels of expression variation across tissues or genotypes. Transcription factors are enriched among genes...
