Gene flow's effect on the genetic architecture of a local adaptation and its consequences for QTL analyses.
Heredity - 1 Jun 2006

Abstract excerpt
This paper uses computer simulations to determine how gene flow between populations affects (1) the genetic architecture of a local adaptation and (2) properties of alleles segregating in quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping populations. Results suggest that the average magnitude of an allele that causes a phenotypic difference between populations declines as the migration rate increases, but with an increase...
