报 告 人：Dr. Yuehua Cui (Associate Professor, Michigan State University, USA)

报告简介：Quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping with expression levels of transcripts as phenotypes is termed eQTL mapping or genetical genomics analysis. eQTL mapping combines the two endeavors, gene expression analysis and genetic mapping, and brings new perspectives in understanding the genetic architecture of gene expression. With eQTL mapping, one can infer gene regulations, in particular, cis- or trans-regulations. In this talk, the background of eQTL mapping, and the added value of eQTL mapping in complex trait dissection over the traditional QTL mapping approach will be briefly introduced, followed by introduction to some recent work for the identification of pathway regulators as well as gene-gene interactions in eQTL mapping study, aimed to gain novel insights into gene regulations from a systems biology perspective.
