QTL Association Studies
Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL) association studies are research methods used to identify the genetic locations associated with specific quantitative traits in organisms, such as height, weight, or disease susceptibility.
Phenotypic Variation
The observable differences in appearance and behavior among individuals of the same species due to genetic and environmental influences.
