Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Earlier methods for detecting major genes responsible for a quantitative trait rely critically upon a well-structured pedigree in which the segregation pattern of genes exactly follow Mendelian inheritance laws. However, for many outcrossing species, such pedigrees are not available and genes also display population properties. RESULTS: In this paper, a hierarchical statistical model is proposed to...
