Abstract excerpt

The multipoint identity-by-descent method (MIM) was used to analyze simulated data for quantitative traits from GAW9. A two-stage method of implementation was used. First, polymorphic markers spaced 6-12 cM apart were used to identify chromosomes of interest for each trait Q1-Q4; and second, for...
