Height is a model trait for all the rest of the complex genetic traits, because it's very easy to measure.
身高是所有其他复杂的遗传特征的模型特征,因为它很容易测量。

I'm not sure there's a gene for hot, but most complex traits are not due to just one gene, they're due to many genes.
我不确定有没有帅基因,但是大多数复杂的特征不仅仅是由一个基因引起的,它们是由许多基因导致的。

So if we could master the genetics of a complex trait like height, that might give us actually the blueprint to start the other multifactorial disorders such as diabetes, heart disease, and so on.
A quantitative trait locus (QTL) is a section of DNA (the locus) that correlates with variation in a phenotype (the quantitative trait). The QTL typically is linked to, or contains, the genes that control that phenotype. QTLs are mapped by identifying which molecular markers (such as SNPs or AFLPs) correlate with an observed trait. This is often an early step in identifying and sequencing the actual genes that cause the trait variation.
