A note on QTL detecting for censored traits

For the LDLA method, we did expect biased estimates of the QTL posi- tions when the distance between the QTL were reduced. This was because the method considers only one QTL, and

for QTL mapping in half-sib families with different sample sizes, heritabilities of the trait, QTL variances, number of alleles at marker loci and number of alleles at

However, more data are required to estimate reliable parameters across a range of traits and hence to help elucidate the reason for the presence of a QTL with large e ffects within

inverse of the 44 × 44 (co)variance matrix among the 44 traits calculated from the estimated effects of the 510,174 SNPs, only in the training population, and y is a 44 × 1 vector

Results: A quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping approach involving two-step variance component analysis was employed using phenotypic data on 30852 palms from crosses between

The main goal of the present PhD thesis was to integrate genetic information for horticultural traits and disease resistances on a single high resolution linkage map and

It was shown that MAS would be more efficient for within-family selection by focusing on a limited number of QTLs with important effects for improving the accuracy of estimation
