Medical genetics was revolutionized during the 1980s by the application of genetic mapping
to locate the genes responsible for simple Mendelian diseases. Most diseases and traits …

Population structure causes genome-wide linkage disequilibrium between unlinked loci,

The detection of genes that control quantitative characters is a problem of great interest to
the genetic mapping community. Methods for locating these quantitative trait loci (QTL) …

Adequate separation of effects of possible multiple linked quantitative trait loci (QTLs) on
mapping QTLs is the key to increasing the precision of QTL mapping. A new method of QTL …

QTL are quantitative trait loci: genetic loci that contribute to variation in a quantitative trait.
QTL mapping is the effort to identify QTL through an experimental cross. In this book, we …
