Statistical Methods for Mapping Multiple QTL
نویسندگان
چکیده
Since Lander and Botstein proposed the interval mapping method for QTL mapping data analysis in 1989, tremendous progress has been made in the last many years to advance new and powerful statistical methods for QTL analysis. Recent research progress has been focused on statistical methods and issues for mapping multiple QTL together. In this article, we review this progress. We focus the discussion on the statistical methods for mapping multiple QTL by maximum likelihood and Bayesian methods and also on determining appropriate thresholds for the analysis.

R/qtl: high-throughput multiple QTL mapping
MOTIVATION R/qtl is free and powerful software for mapping and exploring quantitative trait loci (QTL). R/qtl provides a fully comprehensive range of methods for a wide range of experimental cross types. We recently added multiple QTL mapping (MQM) to R/qtl. MQM adds higher statistical power to detect and disentangle the effects of multiple linked and unlinked QTL compared with many other metho...
متن کاملMultiple trait analysis of genetic mapping for quantitative trait loci.
We present in this paper models and statistical methods for performing multiple trait analysis on mapping quantitative trait loci (QTL) based on the composite interval mapping method. By taking into account the correlated structure of multiple traits, this joint analysis has several advantages, compared with separate analyses, for mapping QTL, including the expected improvement on the statistic...
متن کاملUse of Score Statistics for Model Selection in Mapping Multiple Quantitative Trait Loci
One of the major issues in mapping multiple quantitative trait loci is that of model selection. Many methods for mapping QTL scan positions across the genome and test for statistical significance to decide whether to admit QTL in the model. A common problem with these methods is the determination of a genome-wide threshold value for the test statistic. Recently a modeland data-based resampling ...
متن کاملMultiple-interval mapping for ordinal traits.
Many statistical methods have been developed to map multiple quantitative trait loci (QTL) in experimental cross populations. Among these methods, multiple-interval mapping (MIM) can map QTL with epistasis simultaneously. However, the previous implementation of MIM is for continuously distributed traits. In this study we extend MIM to ordinal traits on the basis of a threshold model. The method...
متن کاملA brief tour of R/qtl
R/qtl is an extensible, interactive environment for mapping quantitative trait loci (QTLs) in experimental crosses. It is implemented as an add-on package for the freely available and widely used statistical language/software R (see www.r-project.org). The development of this software as an add-on to R allows us to take advantage of the basic mathematical and statistical functions, and powerful...
