Abstract excerpt
Analysis of quantitative trait loci (QTL) affecting complex traits is often pursued in single-cross experiments. For most purposes, including breeding, some assessment is desired of the generalizability of the QTL findings and of the overall genetic architecture of the trait. Single-cross experiments provide a poor basis for these purposes, as comparison across experiments is hampered by segregation of different...
