Abstract excerpt
In this paper we present a novel method for selecting optimally informative sibships of any size for quantitative trait locus (QTL) linkage analysis. The method allocates a quantitative index of potential informativeness to each sibship on the basis of observed trait scores and an assumed true QTL model. Any sample of phenotypically screened sibships can therefore be easily rank-ordered for selective genotyping....
