Haplotyping a Quantitative Trait with a High-Density Map in Experimental Crosses
BACKGROUND The ultimate goal of genetic mapping of quantitative trait loci (QTL) is the positional cloning of genes involved in any agriculturally or medically important phenotype. However, only a small portion (< or = 1%) of the QTL detected have been characterized at the molecular level, despite the report of hundreds of thousands of QTL for different traits and populations. METHODS/RESULTS...
متن کاملIdentifying Quantitative Trait Loci in Experimental Crosses Committee in Charge: Identifying Quantitative Trait Loci in Experimental Crosses
Identifying quantitative trait loci in experimental crosses Identifying the genetic loci responsible for variation in traits which are quantitative in nature (such as the yield from an agricultural crop or the number of abdominal bristles on a fruit y) is a problem of great importance to biologists. The number and eeects of such loci help us to understand the biochemical basis of these traits, ...
متن کاملA Statistical Variance Components Framework for Mapping Imprinted Quantitative Trait Locus in Experimental Crosses
Current methods for mapping imprinted quantitative trait locus iQTL with inbred line crosses assume fixed QTL effects. When an iQTL segregates in experimental line crosses, combining different line crosses with similar genetic background can improve the accuracy of iQTLs inference. In this article, we develop a general interval-based statistical variance components framework to map iQTLs underl...
متن کاملA model selection approach for the identification of quantitative trait loci in experimental crosses
We consider the problem of identifying the genetic loci (called quantitative trait loci (QTLs)) contributing to variation in a quantitative trait, with data on an experimental cross. A large number of different statistical approaches to this problem have been described; most make use of multiple tests of hypotheses, and many consider models allowing only a single QTL. We feel that the problem i...
متن کاملA model selection approach for the identification of quantitative trait loci in experimental crosses, allowing epistasis.
The identification of quantitative trait loci (QTL) and their interactions is a crucial step toward the discovery of genes responsible for variation in experimental crosses. The problem is best viewed as one of model selection, and the most important aspect of the problem is the comparison of models of different sizes. We present a penalized likelihood approach, with penalties on QTL and pairwi...
