Unequivocal determination of sire allele origin for multiallelic microsatellites when only the sire and progeny are genotyped.

Abstract excerpt

The effect of a segregating economic trait locus (ETL) can be detected with the aid of a linked genetic marker, if specific alleles of each locus are in association among the individuals genotyped for the genetic marker. For dairy cattle this can be achieved by application of the 'granddaughter design'. If only the sires and their sons are genotyped for the genetic markers, then the allele origin of sons having...
