Generalized linear mixed models for mapping multiple quantitative trait loci.
Heredity - 1 Jul 2012
Che X, Xu S
Abstract excerpt
Many biological traits are discretely distributed in phenotype but continuously distributed in genetics because they are controlled by multiple genes and environmental variants. Due to the quantitative nature of the genetic background, these multiple genes are called quantitative trait loci (QTL). When the QTL effects are treated as random, they can be estimated in a single generalized linear mixed model (GLMM),...
