Abstract excerpt
This article presents a method for QTL interval mapping in autotetraploid species for a full-sib family derived by crossing two parents. For each offspring, the marker information on each chromosome is used to identify possible configurations of chromosomes inherited from the two parents and the locations of crossovers on these chromosomes. A branch and bound algorithm is used to identify configurations with the...
