Lessons from eQTL mapping studies: non-coding regions and their role behind natural phenotypic variation in plants

► A larger proportion of the explained transcript abundance variation is due to local regulators (likely cis-acting) compared to distant regulators (trans-acting). ► Allelic variation in gene expression levels is a strong contributor to phenotype diversity. ► Local epigenetic variation may be an imp...
