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

Multiple-trait quantitative trait locus mapping with incomplete phenotypic data
Background Conventional multiple-trait quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping methods must discard cases (individuals) with incomplete phenotypic data, thereby sacrificing other phenotypic and genotypic information contained in the discarded cases. Under

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.

Quantitative Trait Loci Affecting Milk Production Traits in Finnish Ayrshire Dairy Cattle [PDF]
A whole genome scan of Finnish Ayrshire was conducted tomap quantitative trait loci (QTL) affecting milk production. The analysis included 12 half-sib families containing a total of 494 bulls in a granddaughter design.

Detection of QTLs controlling heading date in the process of rice development at two environments
Heading date (HD) is a major determinant of the regional and seasonal adaptation of rice varieties. In order to elucidate the quantitative trait loci (QTL) for HD in the process of rice development, a doubled haploid (DH) population was employed to map ...

QTL detection and allelic effects for growth and fat traits in outbred pig populations [PDF]
Quantitative trait loci (QTL) for growth and fatness traits have previously been identified on chromosomes 4 and 7 in several experimental pig populations.

QTLMAS 2009: simulated dataset [PDF]
Background - The simulation of the data for the QTLMAS 2009 Workshop is described. Objective was to simulate observations from a growth curve which was influenced by a number of QTL.

Genetic variants in REC8, RNF212, and PRDM9 influence male recombination in cattle. [PDF]
We use >250,000 cross-over events identified in >10,000 bovine sperm cells to perform an extensive characterization of meiotic recombination in male cattle.

Gene and QTL detection in a three-way barley cross under selection by a mixed model with kinship information using SNPs [PDF]
Quantitative trait locus (QTL) detection is commonly performed by analysis of designed segregating populations derived from two inbred parental lines, where absence of selection, mutation and genetic drift is assumed.

Efficient detection of QTL with large effects in a simulated pig-type pedigree using selective genotyping [PDF]
Background The ultimate goal of QTL studies is to find causative mutations, which requires additional expression studies. Given the limited amount of time and funds, the smart option is to identify the most important QTL with minimal effort.
