Understanding the causal relationship between genotype and phenotype is a major objective in biology. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) correlate genetic polymorphisms with trait variation and have already identified causative variants for various traits in many different organisms, from humans to plants. Importantly, many adaptive traits, like the regulation of flowering time in plants, are not regulated by distinct genetic effects, but by more sophisticated gene regulatory networks.
