The development of a cost-efficient eQTL scanning strategy to unravel the broad transcriptional response of a generalist pest to novel hosts. Ghent University
Finding genetic variants that explain transcriptional variation underlying phenotypes of interest is of major relevance for the biological sciences However, state-of-the-art methods to comprehensively scan for such expression - quantitative trait loci (eQTLs) throughout the genome are prohibitively expensive for common applications Here, we propose to develop a novel strategy that is based on statistically modelling allele-specific RNA-seq ...
