The efficiency of mapping of quantitative trait loci using cofactor analysis in half-sib design [PDF]
This simulation study was designed to study the power and type I error rate in QTL mapping using cofactor analysis in half-sib designs. A number of scenarios were simulated with different power to identify QTL by varying family size, heritability, QTL ...

Combining two Meishan F2 crosses improves the detection of QTL on pig chromosomes 2, 4 and 6 [PDF]
Background In pig, a number of experiments have been set up to identify QTL and a multitude of chromosomal regions harbouring genes influencing traits of interest have been identified. However, the mapping resolution remains limited in most cases and the

Mapping carcass and meat quality QTL on
Quantitative trait loci (QTL) affecting carcass and meat quality located on SSC2 were identified using variance component methods. A large number of traits involved in meat and carcass quality was detected in a commercial crossbred population: 1855 pigs ...

QTL linkage analysis of connected populations using ancestral marker and pedigree information [PDF]
The common assumption in quantitative trait locus (QTL) linkage mapping studies that parents of multiple connected populations are unrelated is unrealistic for many plant breeding programs.

Comparison of analyses of the QTLMAS XIV common dataset. II: QTL analysis [PDF]
Background - A quantitative and a binary trait for the 14th QTLMAS 2010 workshop were simulated under a model which combined additive inheritance, epistasis and imprinting. This paper aimed to compare results submitted by the participants of the workshop.

A Bayesian approach to detect QTL affecting a simulated binary and quatitative trait [PDF]
Background - We analyzed simulated data from the 14th QTL-MAS workshop using a Bayesian approach implemented in the program iBay. The data contained individuals genotypes for 10,031 SNPs and phenotyped for a quantitative and a binary trait. Results - For

Multi-environment QTL mixed models for drought stress adaptation in wheat [PDF]
Many quantitative trait loci (QTL) detection methods ignore QTL-by-environment interaction (QEI) and are limited in accommodation of error and environment-specific variance.

Tolerance to low temperature is an important factor affecting the growth and development of rice (Oryza sativa L.) at an early growing season in the temperate region, and at high altitudes of tropical regions. In this study, a backcross inbred line (BIL)

Verification of QTL for grain starch content and its genetic correlation with oil content using two connected RIL populations in high-oil maize. [PDF]
Grain oil content is negatively correlated with starch content in maize in general. In this study, 282 and 263 recombinant inbred lines (RIL) developed from two crosses between one high-oil maize inbred and two normal dent maize inbreds were evaluated ...
