Abstract excerpt
The main objective of mapping quantitative trait loci (QTL) and genome-wide association studies (GWAS) is to identify and locate QTLs on the genome. Estimating the sizes of QTL is equally important as identifying the QTLs. The size of a QTL is often measured by the QTL variance, or the proportion of phenotypic variance explained by the QTL, known as the QTL heritability. The reported QTL heritability is biased...
