The advent of complete genetic linkage maps consisting of codominant DNA markers
[typically restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs)] has stimulated interest in the …

Simple statistical methods for the study of quantitative trait loci (QTL), such as analysis of
variance, have given way to methods that involve several markers and high-resolution …

Over the last half century, a number of methods have been developed to map genes
controlling quantitatively measured phenotypes segregating in experimental populations. In …

We present in this paper models and statistical methods for performing multiple trait analysis
on mapping quantitative trait loci (QTL) based on the composite interval mapping method …

QTL mapping is an increasingly useful approach to the study and manipulation of complex
traits important in agriculture, evolution, and medicine. The molecular dissection of …

It is now possible to use complete genetic linkage maps to locate major quantitative trait loci
(QTLs) on chromosome regions. The current methods of QTL mapping (eg, interval …

Simulation studies were conducted to assess the relative merits of different nonrandom
sampling strategies for the selection of sibling pairs for genotyping in the attempt to locate …

A multimarker linkage disequilibrium mapping method was developed for the fine mapping
of quantitative trait loci (QTL) using a dense marker map. The method compares the …

An approach to increase the resolution power of interval mapping of quantitative trait (QT)
loci is proposed, based on analysis of correlated trait complexes. For a given set of QTs, the …

It has been clear since the rediscovery of Mendel that humans obey laws of heredity
identical with those of other organisms. The central features of Mendelism were observable …
