High-density genotyping is extensively exploited in genome-wide association mapping
studies and genomic selection in maize. By contrast, linkage mapping studies were until …

Multiple‐line cross quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping is considered a promising tool to
detect QTL with high power and substantial accuracy. The main goal of this study was to …

From simulation studies it is known that the allocation of experimental resources has a
crucial effect on power of QTL detection as well as on accuracy and precision of QTL …

Advancements in genotyping are rapidly decreasing marker costs and increasing marker
density. This opens new possibilities for mapping quantitative trait loci (QTL), in particular by …

Key message We enhance power and accuracy of QTL mapping in multiple related families,
by clustering the founders of the families on their local genomic similarity. Abstract MCQTL is …

Detection of QTL in multiple segregating families possesses many advantages over the
classical QTL mapping in biparental populations. It has thus become increasingly popular …

Quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping has been used to dissect the genetic architecture of
complex traits and predict phenotypes for marker-assisted selection. Many QTL mapping …

Detection of quantitative trait loci (QTL) in breeding populations offers the advantage that
these QTL are of direct relevance for the improvement of crops via knowledge-based …

Rodent inbred line crosses are widely used to map genetic loci associated with complex
traits. This approach has proven to be powerful for detecting quantitative trait loci (QTL); …

Association mapping (AM) is a powerful approach to dissect the genetic architecture of
quantitative traits. The main goal of our study was to empirically compare several statistical …
