Saturating the eQTL map in Drosophila melanogaster: genome-wide patterns of cis and trans regulation of transcriptional variation in outbred populations

This website allows you to explore the data from the study on Drosophila melanogaster eQTL mapping. Here, you can investigate the regulatory landscape of gene expression in outbred populations and uncover the genetic basis of transcriptional variation. The study utilizes the Drosophila Outbred Synthetic Panel (Dros-OSP), the first outbred mapping panel for this species, to map cis and trans eQTLs for 98% of the genes expressed in D. melanogaster.

Browse through the comprehensive eQTL map at the block, gene, and SNP levels, and gain insights into the properties of local and distal regulation of gene expression, as well as genetic diversity, heritability, connectivity, and pleiotropy.

By offering this resource, our goal is to advance Drosophila melanogaster research and expand the possibilities for the scientific community. Discover the intricate connections between genetic polymorphisms and transcriptional variation, and contribute to our collective understanding of the fruit fly genome.
