Expression QTL mapping allows researchers to characterize___ .
A)loci that modify the rate of protein translation
B)loci that control gene expression
C)loci that have high mutating rates
D)loci that encode phenotypes

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Expression QTL mapping is a type of mapping that aims to identify loci that affect gene expression levels. It helps to understand the genetic basis of complex traits and diseases by identifying loci that control gene expression. It provides insights into the regulation of gene expression that lead to phenotypic diversity.
