Systems genetics: Networking complex traits
Abstract
Determining the genetic architecture of complex traits poses a challenge because most phenotypic variation is caused by numerous interactions between a multitude of environmentally sensitive genes. A recent study that uses systems genetics to analyse complex traits in Drosophila melanogaster is an important step towards understanding the complex genetic networks that underpin ecologically relevant phenotypes in this organism.
