Detecting interacting genetic loci with effects on quantitative traits where the nature and order of the interaction are unknown.

Abstract excerpt

Standard techniques for single marker quantitative trait mapping perform poorly in detecting complex interacting genetic influences. When a genetic marker interacts with other genetic markers and/or environmental factors to influence a quantitative trait, a sample of individuals will show different effects according to their exposure to other interacting factors. This paper presents a Bayesian mixture model,...
