Abstract excerpt

We applied extreme sib-pair methods in two ways to the GAW10 Problem 2A data sets to detect susceptible quantitative trait loci using extremely discordant sib pairs only, and combining them with the available extremely concordant sib pairs as suggested by the authors elsewhere. Ten successive ori...
