Abstract excerpt
A method was derived to estimate effects of quantitative trait loci (QTL) using incomplete genotype information in large outbreeding populations with complex pedigrees. The method accounts for background genes by estimating polygenic effects. The basic equations used are very similar to the usual linear mixed model equations for polygenic models, and segregation analysis was used to estimate the probabilities of...
