Expression quantitative trait loci in sheep liver and muscle contribute to variations in meat traits

Expression quantitative trait loci in sheep liver and muscle contribute to variations in meat traits

Abstract Background Variants that regulate transcription, such as expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL), have shown enrichment in genome-wide association studies (GWAS) for mammalian complex traits. However, no study has reported eQTL in sheep, although it is an important agricultural species fo...
