Abstract excerpt
Existing methods for mapping quantitative trait loci (QTL) in time-to-failure experiments assume that the QTL effect is constant over the course of the study. This assumption may be violated when the gene(s) underlying the QTL are up- or downregulated on a biologically meaningful timescale. In such situations, models that assume a constant effect can fail to detect QTL in a whole-genome scan. To investigate this...
