Abstract excerpt
Most genetic polymorphisms associated with complex traits are found in non-coding regions of the genome. Characterizing their effect presents a formidable challenge, and expression quantitative trait locus (eQTLs) mapping has been a key approach to do so. As comprehensive eQTL maps are available only for a few species, here we developed the Drosophila outbred synthetic population (Dros-OSP) and used it to...
