The concordance test emerges as a powerful tool for identifying quantitative trait nucleotides: lessons from BTA6 milk yield QTL.

Abstract excerpt

The lack of conventions for confirming the discovery of quantitative trait nucleotides in livestock was evidenced by the proposals of mutations in two different genes (SPP1 and ABCG2) as the underlying functional mutation for a major quantitative trait locus (QTL) for milk concentration on bovine chromosome 6 (BTA6). Of these conflicting candidates, SPP1 was excluded by follow-up studies and by the data described...
