Increasing association mapping power and resolution in mouse genetic studies through the use of meta-analysis for structured populations.

Abstract excerpt

Genetic studies in mouse models have played an integral role in the discovery of the mechanisms underlying many human diseases. The primary mode of discovery has been the application of linkage analysis to mouse crosses. This approach results in high power to identify regions that affect traits, but in low resolution, making it difficult to identify the precise genomic location harboring the causal variant....
