Abstract excerpt
A simple model is presented to illustrate how an underlying generalized polygenic basis of hybrid sterility is expected to lead to spurious localizations of factors with major effects, when a conventional experiment of recombination mapping is carried out. The model shows that a major gene will be detected at roughly the same distance from each of the chromosome markers used in the experiment. These expectations...
