Bayes factors for detection of Quantitative Trait Loci [PDF]
A fundamental issue in quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping is to determine the plausibility of the presence of a QTL at a given genome location. Bayesian analysis offers an attractive way of testing alternative models (here, QTL vs.

Analysis of Quantitative Trait Loci
Diseases with complex inheritance are characterized by multiple genetic and environmental factors that often interact to produce clinical symptoms. In addition, etiological heterogeneity (different risk factors causing similar phenotypes) obscure the inheritance pattern among affected relatives and hamper the feasibility of gene-mapping studies.

Over the last two decades advances in genotyping technology, and the development of quantitative genetic analytical techniques have made it possible to dissect complex traits and link quantitative variation in traits to allelic variation on chromosomes ...

Quantitative Trait Loci: A Meta-analysis [PDF]
Abstract This article presents a method to combine QTL results from different independent analyses. This method provides a modified Akaike criterion that can be used to decide how many QTL are actually represented by the QTL detected in different experiments. This criterion is computed to choose between models with one, two, three, etc.,

Quantitative Trait Loci for Murine Growth [PDF]
Abstract Body size is an archetypal quantitative trait with variation due to the segregation of many gene loci, each of relatively minor effect, and the environment. We examine the effects of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) on age-specific body weights and growth in the F2 intercross of the LG/J and SM/J strains of inbred mice.

Whole genome QTL mapping for growth, meat quality and breast meat yield traits in turkey
Background The turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) is an important agricultural species and is the second largest contributor to the world's poultry meat production. Demand of turkey meat is increasing very rapidly.

Quantitative trait loci and metabolic pathways [PDF]
The interpretation of quantitative trait locus (QTL) studies is limited by the lack of information on metabolic pathways leading to most economic traits. Inferences about the roles of the underlying genes with a pathway or the nature of their interaction with other loci are generally not possible. An exception is resistance to the corn

Mapping quantitative trait loci affecting skeletal asymmetry in Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica) [PDF]
Asymmetry is an indicator of genetic and environmental stressors in organisms and plays an important role in developmental instability. It is suggested that symmetrical individuals do generally have faster growth, higher fecundity, and better survival ...

Variation in seed dormancy quantitative trait loci in Arabidopsis thaliana originating from one site [PDF]
A Quantitative Trait Locus (QTL) analysis was performed using two novel Recombinant Inbred Line (RIL) populations, derived from the progeny between two Arabidopsis thaliana genotypes collected at the same site in Kyoto (Japan) crossed with the reference ...

Soybean mosaic virus (SMV) is detrimental to soybean (Glycine max) breeding, seed quality, and yield worldwide. Improving the basic resistance of host plants is the most effective and economical method to reduce damage from SMV.
