Abstract excerpt
A quadrivariate quantitative genetic analysis detected significant heritabilities for four simulated quantitative traits (Q1-Q4) with additive genetic pleiotropy between traits Q1, Q2, and Q3. Using univariate segregation analysis, we tentatively detected five major loci: one each for Q2, Q3, and Q4 and two, at different maxima, for Q1. Bivariate one-locus segregation analysis identified significant major locus...
