body weight (bw) is a complex and important economic trait that may benefit from the implementation of marker assisted selection (mas). the objective followed in this study was to identify qtls associated with bw at different ages as distinct traits based on an experimental half-sib cross of japanese quails divergently selected for bw at 4 weeks of age. the body weights at hatch, and as well at...

Semi-permeable barriers to geneflow in principle allow distantly related organisms capture and exchange pre-adapted genes potentially speeding adaptation. However, describing on a genomic scale is non-trivial. We extend classic diagnostic allele counting measures of across barrier the case genome-scale data. Diagnostic index expectation maximisation (diem) polarises labelling bistate markers wi...

this study was carried out in order to evaluate allelic diversity of microsatellite markers in qtl region for salinity tolerance on chromosome 10 in rice and evaluation of agronomical traits of some iranian rice cultivars in salinity stress along with two tolerant (pokkali) and sensitive (ir29) check varieties, and association analysis for morphological traits using microsatellite markers.based...

Transmission/disequilibrium tests have attracted much attention in genetic studies of complex traits because (a) their power to detect genes having small to moderate effects may be greater than that of other linkage methods and (b) they are robust against population stratification. Highly polymorphic markers have become available throughout the human genome, and many such markers can be studied...
