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

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.

A robust QTL mapping procedure [PDF]
In quantitative-trait linkage studies using experimental crosses, the conventional normal location-shift model or other parameterizations may be unnecessarily restrictive. We generalize the mapping problem to a genuine nonparametric setup and provide a robust estimation procedure for the situation where the underlying phenotype distributions are ...

Genetic and QTL mapping in African bermudagrass [PDF]
Abstract Cynodon transvaalensis Burtt‐Davy is frequently used to cross with C. dactylon Pers. in the creation of F 1 hybrid cultivars that are some of the most widely used in the worldwide turf industry.

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.

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 ...

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 ...

Efficient QTL detection for nonhost resistance in wild lettuce: backcross inbred lines versus F2 [PDF]
In plants, several population types [F2, recombinant inbred lines, backcross inbred lines (BILs), etc.] are used for quantitative trait locus (QTL) analyses.
