Talk:Expression quantitative trait loci

Suggestions
This looks like a good start. It would be useful to also create a wikipedia page for eQTL and make it forward to this one. Also referencing needs to be tightened up a bit. The following URL is really useful, given a pubmed id it will generate the wiki text that needs to be inserted into the page:

http://diberri.dyndns.org/cgi-bin/templatefiller/?type=pubmed_id&id=17452784

Figures
Does anyone have a good figure that would illustrate the concept of an eQTL nad perhaps illustrate a specific example of an eQTL?

Perhaps something like shown on this webpage would be useful: http://www.scri.ac.uk/research/genetics/GenomeBiology/eQTL

It would be useful to have some subsections too. Perhaps these could include eQTL mapping, History of eQTL analysis, eQTLs implicated in disease.

Also does anyone know who first coined the term? Alexbateman (talk) 16:53, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

I've been looking for any nice illustrations in PLoS articles (as per Lars' suggestion) but haven't picked anything up yet - Wadhamite (talk) 20:50, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
