Abstract excerpt
A Bayesian method for QTL analysis that is capable of accounting for heterogeneity of variance between sexes, is introduced. The Bayesian method uses a parsimonious model that includes scaling parameters for polygenic and QTL allelic effects per sex. Furthermore, the method employs a reduced animal model to increase computational efficiency. Markov Chain Monte Carlo techniques were applied to obtain estimates of...
