Comprehensive analysis of Arabidopsis expression level polymorphisms with simple inheritance

ABSTRACT: Expression level polymorphisms (ELPs) often result in cis-acting expression quantitative trait loci (cis-eQTL), which are important QTL and association mapping tools and account significantly for phenotypic variability. Generally, it is assumed that such stably heritable ELP represent regulatory element polymorphisms in the respective genes. However, comprehensive genome-wide analyses linking expression level, regulatory sequence and gene structure variation are missing, preventing definite verification of this assumption. Here we analyzed heritability of ELP observed between Arabidopsis thaliana accessions Eil-0 and Lc-0 by comparing genotyped recombinant inbred lines (RIL) to their parents in microarray analyses. Keywords: expression level polymorphism, Arabidopsis thaliana accessions,

ORGANISM(S): Arabidopsis thaliana
