Abstract excerpt
Quantitative traits are often assumed to be controlled by a large number of loci that each have a small effect. Under this assumption, the distribution of genotypic and phenotypic values can be adequately modeled by a multivariate normal distribution. Thus, most genetic analyses are based on mixed linear models. Evidence is accumulating, however, for the presence of loci that have large effects on traits of...
