Abstract excerpt

Conventional methods for quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping require the selection of particular traits to be measured based on assumptions as to their importance. We have tested an alternative approach for the location of QTLs-marker-evaluated selection-that makes no prior assumptions as to which traits are important. The results of phenotype selection were evaluated in the products of modified...
