Abstract excerpt
Individual loci affecting economic traits can be located using genetic linkage. Application of either daughter or granddaughter design requires determination of allele origin in the progeny. If only the sires and their progeny are genotyped, the paternal allele origin of progeny having the same genotype as the sire cannot be determined. The expected frequency of informative sons can be predicted for each sire and...
