QTL mapping in outbred half-sib families using Bayesian model selection

selection of drought-tolerant half-sib families in sugar beet

one of the most effective ways to deal with drought stress and increase water use efficiency is the development of drought-tolerant varieties which display less reduction in yield per unit water reduction. therefore, the breeding of diploid pollinators was considered as an essential measure for producing drought-tolerant hybrids. in this study, from 4 diploid pollinator populations, 45 half-sib...

QTL Mapping using Diversity Outbred Mice

Combined line-cross and half-sib QTL analysis of crosses between outbred lines.

Data from an F 2 cross between breeds of livestock are typically analysed by least squares line-cross or half-sib models to detect quantitative trait loci (QTL) that differ between or segregate within breeds. These models can also be combined to increase power to detect QTL, while maintaining the computational efficiency of least squares. Tests between models allow QTL to be characterized into ...

MAPfastR: QTL mapping in outbred line crosses

MAPfastR is an R package for mapping quantitative trait loci (QTL) in outbred line crosses. It contains all the functions required to perform a QTL analysis in outbred lines. Some of the functions implement different algorithms that can be used interchangeably and it is up to the user to decide which will be applied. This gives the user a certain degree of flexibility when constructing the anal...
