Abstract excerpt
Identifying selection on polygenic complex traits in crops and livestock is important for understanding evolution and helps prioritize important characteristics for breeding. Quantitative trait loci (QTL) that contribute to polygenic trait variation often exhibit small or infinitesimal effects. This hinders the ability to detect QTL-controlling polygenic traits because enormously high statistical power is needed...
