Abstract excerpt
A Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) implemented Bayesian method has been developed to detect quantitative trait loci (QTL) effects and Q x E interaction effects. However, the MCMC algorithm is time consuming due to repeated samplings of QTL parameters. We developed an expectation and maximization (EM) algorithm as an alternative method for detecting QTL and Q x E interaction. Simulation studies and real data...
