The genomics era has had a profound impact on life science research, leading to significant developments such as the use of expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs), which link polymorphisms in single genes to quantifiable changes in gene expression associated with specific diseases.

They then used a genetic technique called quantitative trait locus analysis to search for the genes involved in generating phenolics in the most promising progeny. (sciencedaily.com)
