A Strategy for Identifying Quantitative Trait Genes Using Gene Expression Analysis and Causal Analysis

Large numbers of quantitative trait loci (QTL) affecting complex diseases and other quantitative traits have been reported in humans and model animals. However, the genetic architecture of these traits remains elusive due to the difficulty in identifying causal quantitative trait genes (QTGs) for co...
