Unpredictable effects of the genetic background of transgenic lines in physiological quantitative traits

2018-12-13

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Physiological, fitness and disease phenotypes are complex traits exhibiting continuous variation in natural populations. To understand complex trait gene functions transgenic lines of undefined genetic background are often combined to assess quantitative phenotypes ignoring the impact of genetic polymorphisms. Here, we used inbred wild-type strains of the Drosophila Genetics Reference Panel to...
