Robust score statistics for QTL linkage analysis.
The traditional variance components approach for quantitative trait locus (QTL) linkage analysis is sensitive to violations of normality and fails for selected sampling schemes. Recently, a number of new methods have been developed for QTL mapping in humans. Most of the new methods are based on score statistics or regression-based statistics and are expected to be relatively robust to non-norma...
متن کاملCross Validation of Qtl from Linkage Analysis and Linkage Disequilibrium Analysis
Although feed conversion efficiency is one of the key drivers of profitability in beef production, conventional methods of selecting for feed efficiency in beef cattle rely on a costly and time consuming collection of feed intake measurements. If genetic markers were available for this trait, they could greatly reduce the cost of selecting for more efficient cattle. Identification of markers or...
متن کاملA QTL linkage map of safflower for yield under drought stress at reproductive stage
This study reports QTL mapping for seed yield and its components in safflower genome under drought stress. The F3 families derived from the cross Mex.22-191 (tolerant) × IL.111 (sensitive) were evaluated for agronomic traits in safflower. Drought tolerance was evaluated during 10% of the flowering stage. To identify QTLs underlying tolerance to drought, mapping quantitative trait loci (QTLs) w...
متن کاملConditional likelihood score functions for mixed models in linkage analysis.
In this paper, we develop a general strategy for linkage analysis, applicable for arbitrary pedigree structures and genetic models with one major gene, polygenes and shared environmental effects. Extending work of Whittemore (1996), McPeek (1999) and Hossjer (2003d), the efficient score statistic is computed from a conditional likelihood of marker data given phenotypes. The resulting semiparame...
متن کاملFine mapping of milk production QTL on BTA6 by combined linkage and linkage disequilibrium analysis.
Combined linkage and linkage disequilibrium analysis were used to refine the position of a previously detected QTL affecting milk production traits on bovine chromosome 6. Through a series of single- and multitrait and single- and multipoint QTL analyses, the QTL could be positioned to a 7.5-cM interval surrounded by the markers BMS2508 and FBN12. The most significant results were found for fat...
