Integrating sibship data for mapping quantitative trait loci.

Abstract excerpt

Sibship methods have been shown to be more powerful than traditional sib-pair methods in mapping quantative trait loci. We propose a statistical procedure which integrates data on sibships into a so-called 'contrast function', a natural extension of the classical squared sib-pair trait difference proposed by Haseman & Elston (1972). We also develop a combined mean and contrast function which provides more...
