Advances in QTL Mapping in Pigs [PDF]
Over the past 15 years advances in the porcine genetic linkage map and discovery of useful candidate genes have led to valuable gene and trait information being discovered. Early use of exotic breed crosses and now commercial breed crosses for quantitative trait loci (QTL) scans and candidate gene analyses have led to 110 publications which have ...

Tools for quantitative trait locus mapping and genome-wide association study mapping: a review
One of the key objectives in genomics studies is to understand genetic architecture of complex traits and diseases. Quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping and genome-wide association study (GWAS) mapping have been using to dissect genetic architecture of

R/qtl: QTL mapping in experimental crosses
Abstract Summary: R/qtl is an extensible, interactive environment for mapping quantitative trait loci (QTLs) in experimental populations derived from inbred lines. It is implemented as an add-on package for the freely-available statistical software, R, and includes functions for estimating genetic maps, identifying genotyping errors, and

Identification of unconditional and conditional QTL for oil, protein and starch content in maize
Oil, protein and starch are key chemical components of maize kernels. A population of 245 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) derived from a cross between a high-oil inbred line, By804, and a regular inbred line, B73, was used to dissect the genetic ...

Assessment of Five Chilling Tolerance Traits and GWAS Mapping in Rice Using the USDA Mini-Core Collection [PDF]
Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is often exposed to cool temperatures during spring planting in temperate climates. A better understanding of genetic pathways regulating chilling tolerance will enable breeders to develop varieties with improved tolerance during ...

Multiparental mapping of plant height and flowering time QTL in partially isogenic sorghum families. [PDF]
Sorghum varieties suitable for grain production at temperate latitudes show dwarfism and photoperiod insensitivity, both of which are controlled by a small number of loci with large effects.

Composite Interval Mapping Based on Lattice Design for Error Control May Increase Power of Quantitative Trait Locus Detection. [PDF]
Experimental error control is very important in quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping. Although numerous statistical methods have been developed for QTL mapping, a QTL detection model based on an appropriate experimental design that emphasizes error ...
