Fine mapping of multiple QTL using combined linkage and linkage disequilibrium mapping – A comparison of single QTL and multi QTL methods [PDF]
Two previously described QTL mapping methods, which combine linkage analysis (LA) and linkage disequilibrium analysis (LD), were compared for their ability to detect and map multiple QTL.

postQTL: a QTL mapping R workflow to improve the accuracy of true positive loci identification
Objective The determination of the location of quantitative trait loci (QTL) (i.e., QTL mapping) is essential for identifying new genes. Various statistical methods are being incorporated into different QTL mapping functions.

The standard variance components method for mapping quantitative trait loci is derived on the assumption of normality. Unsurprisingly, statistical tests based on this method do not perform so well if this assumption is not satisfied. We use the statistical concept of copulas to relax the assumption of normality and derive a test that can perform well ...

R/qtl: high-throughput multiple QTL mapping [PDF]
AbstractMotivation: R/qtl is free and powerful software for mapping and exploring quantitative trait loci (QTL). R/qtl provides a fully comprehensive range of methods for a wide range of experimental cross types. We recently added multiple QTL mapping (MQM) to R/qtl.

Joint QTL linkage mapping for multiple-cross mating design sharing one common parent. [PDF]
BackgroundNested association mapping (NAM) is a novel genetic mating design that combines the advantages of linkage analysis and association mapping. This design provides opportunities to study the inheritance of complex traits, but also requires more ...

Inclusive Composite Interval Mapping of QTL by Environment Interactions in Biparental Populations. [PDF]
Identification of environment-specific QTL and stable QTL having consistent genetic effects across a wide range of environments is of great importance in plant breeding. Inclusive Composite Interval Mapping (ICIM) has been proposed for additive, dominant

In recent years multi-parental mapping populations (MPPs) have been widely adopted in many crops to detect quantitative trait loci (QTLs) as this method can compensate for the limitations of QTL analyses using bi-parental mapping populations.

QTL Mapping Under Ascertainment [PDF]
SummaryMapping quantitative trait loci (QTL) using ascertained sibships is discussed. It is shown that under the standard normality assumption of variance components analysis the efficient scores are unchanged by ascertainment, and two different schemes of ascertainment correction suggested in the literature are asymptotically equivalent.

Human QTL linkage mapping [PDF]
Human quantitative trait locus (QTL) linkage mapping, although based on classical statistical genetic methods that have been around for many years, has been employed for genome-wide screening for only the last 10-15 years. In this time, there have been many success stories, ranging from QTLs that have been replicated in independent studies to those for
