In order to narrow candidate QTL loci into relevant genes driving disease differences, we assessed transcriptional differences across the pre-CC population used to map phenotypic QTL. We integrate th
IntroductionLeishmaniasis is endemic in many countries, and in Kenya outbreaks of visceral leishmaniasis (VL) commonly occur in Garissa, Isiolo, Marsabit, Turkana, and Wajir. Despite the rising freque
New systems genetics approaches are needed to rapidly identify host genes and genetic networks that regulate complex disease outcomes. Using genetically diverse animals from incipient lines of the Col
