Model of gene-trait interactions in complex trait analysis. The figure shows two sources of variation, phenotypic – meaning the quantitative differences in trait expression measured across the panel of strains (labeled TRAIT) – and the differences in genotype, as measured at a discrete number of marker loci in the different strains (GENE). Interactions between these sources of variation are the basis of complex trait analysis. QTL, quantitative trait locus; reverse CTA, reverse complex trait analysis.
