Marker-assisted introgression in backcross breeding programs.

Genetics - 1 Dec 1996

Visscher P M, Haley C S, Thompson R

Abstract excerpt

The efficiency of marker-assisted introgression in backcross populations derived from inbred lines was investigated by simulation. Background genotypes were simulated assuming that a genetic model of many genes of small effects in coupling phase explains the observed breed difference and variance...
