How can you use “qtl” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

An analysis of RI strains can be quickly extended by generating F1 intercrosses between A/J and the subset of RI strains that have recombinations in the QTL intervals on Chrs 10 and 19.
Those differentially expressed genes that map to a QTL region would be selected and the upstream regulatory regions aligned in silico to search for sequence differences that affect predicted transcriptional binding sites.
However, these approaches are limited because the gene underlying a QTL may not be recognized as a good candidate gene if little is known about the gene's function and/or if a QTL region is large, in which case sequencing every gene within the QTL requires considerable time, cost and labor to complete.
A counter example is when one marker is much closer to the QTL than the other marker, in this case the intersection test is more powerful.
However, while synteny data between human and mouse suggest that the gene is within the QTL, data from Celera apparently places it on another chromosome.
