Interacting genes required for pharyngeal excitation by motor neuron MC in Caenorhabditis elegans.

abstract：:Advances in medicine, agriculture, and an understanding of evolution depend on resolving the genetic architecture of quantitative traits, which is challenging since variation for complex traits is caused by multiple interacting quantitative trait loci (QTL) with small and conditional effects. Here, we show that the ke...
