Powerful statistical methods are available for the analysis of quantitative traits in experimental species. To a large extent, the development of these methods has been driven by the increased ...

Mapping quantitative trait loci (QTL) in arbitrary outbred pedigrees is complicated by the combinatorial possibilities of allele flow relationships and of the founder allelic configurations. Exact ...

The Annals of Statistics, Vol. 28, No. 5 (Oct., 2000), pp. 1245-1278 (34 pages) The interval mapping method has been shown to be a powerful tool for mapping QTL. However, it is still a challenge to ...

The possible role of the sucrose-splitting enzymes sucrose synthase and invertase in elongating roots and hypocotyls of Arabidopsis was tested by using a combination of histochemical methods and ...

Multi-parental populations (MPPs) have been proposed as outstanding genetic resources for mapping QTL in crops. MPPs are based on the intercrossing of genetically divergent parental lines to produce a ...

Two main methods for gene identification: QTL analysis and genome-wide association study (GWAS). This time the team focused on GWAS. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not responsible for the ...

Researchers from Tokyo Medical and Dental University (TMDU) find that integrating and selectively analyzing splicing variant data can help identify genetic variations associated with complex human ...
