A large Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL) project for mink, comprising more than 1000 F2 animals scored for more than 50 traits, has recently been run as a collaborative venture between the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences of the University of Aarhus and the Department of Basic Animal Sciences of the University of Copenhagen, Denmark.
The dopamine and norepinephrine pathways that originate in the ventral tegmental area and locus coeruleus project to diverse regions of the brain and govern a variety of cognitive processes.
Axons of the locus coeruleus project to the hippocampus via the dorsal bundle, which ascends to traverse the midbrain tegmentum [43].
Quantitative trait loci were projected onto the consensus map using the Biomercator software.
In case of the OMIM orphan PD loci, we projected on the human chromosome view the map for 'morbid diseases'.
Norepinephrinergic neurons in the locus ceruleus project to thalamic mediodorsal, midline, intralaminar nuclei, which in turn have neurons that project to the cingulate cortex (Jones and Yang, 1985; Vogt et al., 1987; Buckwalter et al., 2008; Vogt et al., 2008).
Two major-effect maturity loci previously projected onto the sorghum consensus map [ 34] were identified in the current study; ma1 was identified in S4 (QDTF_S4_6.1), and ma4 was identified in populations S7 and S2 (QDTF_S7_10.1 and QDTF_S2_10.1).
Sixteen of the 17 height QTL identified co-located with height QTL previously described (Additional file 1: Figure S7), including the 3 major effect height loci previously projected onto the consensus map; dw2 on SBI-06 (QHGT_S4_6.1), dw3 on SBI-07 (QHGT_S4_7.1) and dw1 on SBI-09 (QHGT_S2_9.1 and QHGT_S4_9.1).
Briefly, the position of a unique locus was projected to the consensus reference map by interpolation of its relative position from the positions of the two closest flanking common markers.
Breitenau, according to Documenta's artistic director Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev, is a palimpsest of all its earlier uses and a psycho-geographical locus for her project.
