Abstract excerpt
Locating quantitative trait loci (QTL) in mammalian systems has proven difficult due to the lack of genetic control and reproducibility, as well as the expense of maintaining sufficiently large populations for genotyping and phenotyping. In plants, populations of recombinant inbred lines (progeny bred to homozygosity from a single cross) do not have these problems. Methods developed to identify QTL in a...
