Mapping quantitative trait loci affecting life history traits in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans.

Abstract excerpt

We have identified chromosomal regions containing quantitative trait loci (QTLs) specifying life history traits in recombinant-inbred strains of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. This approach also allows us to examine epistatic interactions between loci and pleiotropic effects on different tr...
