Abstract excerpt
Many diseases with a major public health impact are the result of complex interactions between environmental factors and multiple genes. In the past decade, methods for genome analysis, in particular quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis in animal models, were developed to identify and localize the genes responsible for multifactorial (polygenic) diseases; QTL analysis is based on experimental crosses between...
