Abstract excerpt
Mapping quantitative trait loci (QTLs) is usually conducted with a single line cross. The power of such QTL mapping depends highly on the two parental lines. If the two lines are fixed for the same allele at a putative QTL, the QTL is undetectable. On the other hand, if a QTL is segregating in the line cross and is detected, the estimated variance of the QTL cannot be extrapolated beyond the statistical inference...
