Abstract excerpt
Quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping is often done in a single segregating population, such as a backcross or an intercross. Both QTL location and effect size are then estimated from the same dataset. This approach results in an over-estimate of effect size for two reasons: (1) LOD scores, which are maximized over numerous point-wise tests, are correlated with estimated effect size and (2) small effect QTLs are...
