Abstract excerpt
Using multiple diallelic markers, variance component models are proposed for high-resolution combined linkage and association mapping of quantitative trait loci (QTL) based on nuclear families. The objective is to build a model that may fully use marker information for fine association mapping of QTL in the presence of prior linkage. The measures of linkage disequilibrium and the genetic effects are incorporated...
