Quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping reveals a role for unstudied genes in Aspergillus virulence.

Quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping reveals a role for unstudied genes in Aspergillus virulence.

Infections caused by the fungus Aspergillus are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised populations. To identify genes required for virulence that could be used as targets for novel treatments, we mapped quantitative trait loci (QTL) affecting virulence in the progeny of a cros...
