You told us connection matters, and at #Dros27, great conversations are just steps away (10 minutes max from the venue). Grab a meal at @RdgTerminalMkt, stroll to Philadelphia City Hall, or connect over coffee at local favorites.

Philly locals—where should attendees go next?

🐖 🧬 New pig eQTL mapping from @IonitaLaza61449 & Co evaluates the functional relevance of QTLs and quantifies genetic effects across the gene expression distribution at loci implicated in human diseases.

New in #GENETICS: Rojas et al. show that cis- and trans-regulatory divergence between S. cerevisiae and S. paradoxus is common, but these individual effects cancel out and do not manifest as differences in steady-state transcript abundance. 🔗 buff.ly/UlpZQ9b
