Substantial contribution of genetic variation in the expression of transcription factors to phenotypic variation revealed by eRD-GWAS
Substantial contribution of genetic variation in the expression of transcription factors to phenotypic variation revealed by eRD-GWAS
There are significant limitations in existing methods for the genome-wide identification of genes whose expression patterns affect traits. Results: The transcriptomes of five tissues from 27 genetically diverse maize inbred lines were deeply sequenced to identify genes exhibiting high and low levels of expression variation across tissues or genotypes.
