A quantitative trait locus (QTL) is a locus (section of DNA) that correlates with variation of a quantitative trait in the phenotype of a population of organisms. [1]

Here, we provide a brief guideline with a curated list of methods and software tools for analyzing expression quantitative trait loci, the most widely studied type of molQTL.

Jul 23, 2025 · A Quantitative Trait Locus (QTL) is a specific section of DNA on a chromosome linked to variations in a measurable characteristic, such as height or weight. It’s like a …

Quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis is a statistical method that links two types of information—phenotypic data (trait measurements) and genotypic data (usually molecular …

Quantitative traits are controlled by multiple genes acting cumulatively. These genes are called quantitative trait loci, commonly abbreviated QTLs. The more QTLs involved, the more …

A locus that affects a quantitative trait is called, fittingly, a quantitative trait locus or QTL. How do we find QTLs? With genome-wide association studies, or GWAS.

Jan 1, 2022 · Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL) are physical chromosomal segments containing one or more genes that contribute to variation in a quantitative trait.

A Quantitative Trait Locus (QTL) is defined as a genetic region that influences the variation of a quantitative trait, with its detection influenced by factors such as trait heritability, marker …

Quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping requires parental strains (red and blue plots) that differ genetically for the trait, such as lines created by divergent artificial selection.

Aug 1, 2025 · A Quantitative Trait Locus (QTL) is a specific region of DNA that correlates with the variation observed in a quantitative trait within a population. These loci contribute additively to …
