Abstract excerpt
We considered a strategy to map quantitative trait loci (QTLs) using linkage disequilibrium (LD) when the QTL and marker locus were multiallelic. The strategy involved phenotyping a large number of unrelated individuals and genotyping only selected individuals from the two tails of the trait distribution. Power to detect trait-marker association was assessed as a function of the number of QTL and marker alleles....
