      Our study aims to investigate and analyze genomic interaction via QTL mapping using yeast (S. cerevisiae) as a model organism, as the baker's yeast has proven to be an effective model for dissecting complex traits using synthetic biology. Previous analysis of QTL mapping has indicated ample epigenetic interaction in determining yeast complex traits, yet the specificity of correlating genes to traits is often blurred as proximal genes are usually associated with the trait under analysis. By pairing high-throughput techniques with the automated capabilities of the Hamilton Microlab Star, this project efficiently prepares three different yeast strains; American, European, and Japanese, for sequencing. Causal genetic variants can thereby be determined through eliminating uncertainty among closely associated genes that are paired with desired complex traits by cross-comparing strains.Visit the lab website at https://annb-lab.github.io/ Show less
