Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Polymorphisms underlying complex traits often explain a small part (less than 1 %) of the phenotypic variance (σ2P). This makes identification of mutations underling complex traits difficult and usually only a subset of large-effect loci are identified. One approach to identify more loci is to increase sample size of experiments but here we propose an alternative. The aim of this paper is to use...
