Abstract:
The disclosed subject matter is directed to genetic linkage methods for identifying genetic determinants of transcription factor activity. An inferred transcription factor activity profile is generated based on a nucleotide sequence-specific mathematical model of gene expression regulation. Genetic linkage analysis is performed to identify at least one genetic determinant linked to a specific transcription factor segregant based on the inferred transcription factor profile.
