Using population selection and sequencing to characterize natural variation of starvation resistance in Caenorhabditis elegans

Using population selection and sequencing to characterize natural variation of starvation resistance in Caenorhabditis elegans

Starvation resistance is important to disease and fitness, but the genetic basis of its natural variation is unknown. Uncovering the genetic basis of complex, quantitative traits such as starvation resistance is technically challenging. We developed a synthetic-population (re)sequencing approach usi...
