Detection Localization Mapping for QTL
Description
QTL mapping in a mixed model framework with separate
detection and localization stages. The first stage detects the
number of QTL on each chromosome based on the genetic variation
due to grouped markers on the chromosome; the second stage uses
this information to determine the most likely QTL positions.
The mixed model can accommodate general fixed and random
effects, including spatial effects in field trials and pedigree
effects. Applicable to backcrosses, doubled haploids,
recombinant inbred lines, F2 intercrosses, and association
mapping populations.
