	Quantitative trait locus Summary
		A quantitative trait locus (QTL) is a region of DNA that is associated with a particular phenotypic trait (e.g., plant height).
		QTL mapping is the statistical study of the alleles which occur in a locus and the phenotypes (physical forms or traits) that they produce.
		QTLs identify a particular region of the genome as containing a gene that is associated with the trait being assayed or measured.

	Quantitative trait locus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Inheritance of quantitative traits refers to the inheritance of a phenotypic characteristic that varies in degree and can be attributed to the interactions between two or more genes and their environment (also called Polygenic inheritance).
		Statistical research suggested that for quantitative traits the offspring of a cross tended to be intermediate in appearance between the two parents.
		A quantitative trait locus (QTL) is a region of DNA that is associated with a particular phenotypic trait - these QTLs are often found on different chromosomes.

		From this information it was then possible to estimate the heritability of the trait and predict the response of the trait to selection.
		Mapping markers linked to QTLs identifies regions of the genome that may contain genes involved in the expression of the quantitative trait.
		The authors further were able to demonstrate that a number of the QTLs identified by the molecular markers mapped to regions containing genes known to have a qualitative effect on plant height.

		For each set of haplotypes, we chose a marker locus as the candidate trait locus if it satisfied two conditions: (1) the frequency of the minor allele is in a designated range, and (2) the position of the trait locus is between 0.40 and 0.60.
		In addition, the trait locus is not one of the marker loci used in mapping and is away at least 0.005 from the closest marker locus.
		For the family samples in extremal sampling, we chose 125 individuals with trait values in the top 20% of the population distribution of the trait values together with their parents and 125 individuals with trait values in the lower 20% of the population distribution of the trait values together with their parents.

	Quantitative Trait Locus Analysis Alcohol Research & Health - Find Articles
		One such strategy uses congenic strains--mice in which a particular region of DNA (e.g., a QTL) from one strain is transferred (i.e., introgressed) into the genome of another strain, followed again by inbreeding (for a more detailed description of this process, see Crabbe et al.
		Despite its limitations, QTL mapping is a powerful method for widespread analyses of the genetic influences underlying quantitative traits, such as those contributing to alcoholism.
		QTL mapping in animals provides a valuable, though preliminary, contribution to the search for genes contributing to human alcoholism.

	The Individualist: Quantitative trait locus analysis
		A quantitative trait locus (QTL) is a region of DNA that is associated with a particular trait (e.g., plant height).
		Genes may be on the same or different chromosomes and each gene may have two or more alleles.Once a region of DNA is identified as contributing to a phenotype, it can be sequenced.
		A candidate gene is a gene, located in a chromosome region suspected of being involved in the expression of a trait such as a disease, whose protein product suggests that it could be the gene in question.

	quantitative trait locus
		A locus where allelic variation is associated with variation in a quantitative trait.
		The presence of a QTL is inferred from genetic mapping, where the total variation is partitioned into components linked to a number of discrete chromosome regions.(From Glossary of Biotechnology for Food and Agriculture)
		The latter group used a technique called quantitative trait locus analyses.

	Trait (biology) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The term phenotype is sometimes used as a synonym for trait in common use, but strictly speaking, does not indicate the trait, but the state of that trait (e.g., the trait eye color has the phenotypes blue, brown and hazel).
		An important reference point along this string is the centromere; the distance from a gene to the centromere is referred to as the gene's locus or map location.
		A chromosomal region known to control a trait while the responsible gene within not being identified is referred to as a quantitative trait locus.

		These types of traits are called continuous traits and cannot be analyzed in the same manner as discontinuous traits.
		Because continuous traits are often given a quantitative value, they are often referred to as quantitative traits, and the area of genetics that studies their mode of inheritance is called quantitative genetics.
		Because many important agricultural traits such as crop yield, weight gain in animals, fat content of meat are quantitative traits, much of the pioneering research into the modes of inheritance of these traits was performed by agricultural geneticists.

	Semiparametric Quantitative-Trait-Locus Mapping: I. on Functional Growth Curves
		The genetic study of certain quantitative traits in growth curves as a function of time has recently been of major scientific interest to explore the developmental evolution processes of biological subjects.
		In this article, we view the growth curves as functional quantitative traits and propose some semiparametric models to relax the strong parametric assumptions which may not be always practical in reality.
		Appropriate inference procedures are developed to estimate the parameters of interest which characterise the possible QTLs of the growth curves in the models.
