At least ten software packages are available for marker-based detection and localization of
loci contributing to quantitative traits in experimental animals and plants. Many of these have …

Understanding and estimating the structure and parameters associated with the genetic
architecture of quantitative traits is a major research focus in quantitative genetics. With the …

Improved genotypes developed by plant breeding remain pivotal to global food security. In
the wake of ever-increasing human population, declining agricultural resources and the …

Composite interval mapping (CIM) is the most commonly used method for mapping
quantitative trait loci (QTL) with populations derived from biparental crosses. However, the …

A new statistical method for mapping quantitative trait loci (QTL), called multiple interval
mapping (MIM), is presented. It uses multiple marker intervals simultaneously to fit multiple …

Recent advances in plant genomics and molecular biology have revolutionized our
understanding of plant genetics, providing new opportunities for more efficient and …

We describe a general statistical framework for the genetic analysis of quantitative trait data
in inbred line crosses. Our main result is based on the observation that, by conditioning on …

结合分子标记和表型数据的QTL 作图已成为数量性状遗传分析的常规方法.
复合区间作图是近10 多年来广泛应用的一种QTL 定位方法, 但它在算法上有一些缺陷, 致使QTL …

Of many statistical methods developed to date for quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis, only
a limited subset are available in public software allowing their exploration, comparison and …

It has long been recognized that epistasis or interactions between non-allelic genes plays
an important role in the genetic control and evolution of quantitative traits. However, the …
