quantitative trait loci (qtl)
Quantitative trait loci (QTL) refers to specific regions in the genome associated with the variation of measurable traits, such as height or weight, in a population. These genetic loci contribute to the inheritance and expression of complex traits, allowing researchers to study and understand the genetic basis of quantitative traits.
