One line of inquiry utilizes mouse strains that are widely divergent in alcohol‐related behaviors. Decades of genetics research comparing mouse strains has identified many regions of the genome associated with such quantitative traits. These regions are called Quantitative Trait Loci (QTLs). Microarrays have been used to identify which genes within the QTLs are differentially expressed and are therefore potentially causal; however, genetic variants that affect probe hybridization lead to many false conclusions. Here, we used quantitative proteomics to compare brain striata between two mouse strains for which abundant QTL and transcriptomic data is available. The primary aims of this research were to (1) identify differentially expressed proteins that lie within QTLs and are therefore candidate causal proteins, (2) determine if genetic variants also lead to spurious results in quantitative proteomics, and (3) compare transcriptomic and proteomic datasets to determine their agreement. 000000587 540__ $$fCC BY 000000587 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000000587 650__ $$aQuantitative Trait Loci$$035050 000000587 650__ $$aAlcohol Drinking$$014403 000000587 650__ $$aGenomics$$033016 000000587 650__ $$aProteomics$$035059 000000587 650__ $$aGenetics$$019472 000000587 650__ $$aAmino Acid Substitution$$032012 000000587 650__ $$aEthanol$$014406 000000587 650__ $$aQuantitative Trait Loci$$035050 000000587 650__ $$aAlcoholism$$014412 000000587 651__ $$aOregon--Portland$$041692 000000587 6531_ $$aqtl genes 000000587 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000000587 692__ $$aDepartment of Medical Informatics and Clinical Epidemiology$$041422 000000587 7001_ $$aFei, Suzanne$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000000587 7201_ $$aMcWeeney, Shannon$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$7Personal$$eAdvisor 000000587 7201_ $$aDavid, Larry$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$7Personal$$eAdvisor 000000587 7201_ $$aBoudreau, Eilis$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$7Personal$$eAdvisor 000000587 8564_ $$9913b76d7-c310-4879-84c0-2140b4ac1086$$s1815642$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/587/files/588_etd.pdf 000000587 905__ $$a/rest/prod/70/79/57/68/707957685 000000587 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:587$$pstudent-work 000000587 980__ $$aBiomedical Informatics
