Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Linkage mapping is used to identify genomic regions affecting the expression of complex traits. However, when experimental crosses such as F(2) populations or backcrosses are used to map regions containing a Quantitative Trait Locus (QTL), the size of the regions identified remains quite large, i.e. 10 or more Mb. Thus, other experimental strategies are needed to refine the QTL locations. Advanced...
