Could you modify this be more explicit for a non-specialized audience?
(Also capitalize only the first word.)

I don't understand the meaning but on the form side I think QTL sould be
introduced in a full sentence like this "... Quantitative Trait Loci
(QTL) ...".  Can you try to make it more verbose?

Otherwise LGTM.  Thanks.
