Use of maternal information for QTL detection in a (grand)daughter design.

Genetics, selection, evolution : GSE - 1 Jan 2000

Bolard Marc, Boichard Didier

Abstract excerpt

In a (grand)daughter design, maternal information is often neglected because the number of progeny per dam is limited. The number of dams per maternal grandsire (MGS), however, could be large enough to contribute to QTL detection. But dams and MGS usually are not genotyped, there are two recombination opportunities between the MGS and the progeny, and at a given location, only half the progeny receive a MGS...
