Genetic architecture of basal heart rate and its modulation by dietary salt in Drosophila melanogaster
Heart rate (HR) is a complex quantitative phenotype that is influenced by both genetic and environmental factors, and it is a critical factor in the regulation of cardiac physiology. Despite the discovery of numerous genes associated with HR variation in humans and other organisms, the mechanisms by which these genes i...
