Abstract excerpt
There is considerable interest in bovine DNA-level polymorphic marker loci as a means of mapping quantitative trait loci (QTL) of economic importance in cattle. Progeny of a sire heterozygous for both a marker locus and a linked QTL, which inherit different alleles for the marker, will have different trait means. Based on this, power to detect QTL, as a function of QTL effect, heritability of the trait, and...
