Abstract excerpt
Mapping strategies based on a half- or full-sib family design have been developed to map quantitative trait loci (QTL) for outcrossing species. However, these strategies are dependent on controlled crosses where marker-allelic frequency and linkage disequilibrium between the marker and QTL may limit their application. In this article, a maximum-likelihood method is developed to map QTL segregating in an...
