The use of flanking marker methods has proved to be a powerful tool for the mapping of quantitative trait loci (QTL) in the segregating generations derived from crosses between inbred lines. Methods to analyse these data, based on maximum-likelihood, have been developed and provide good estimates of QTL effects in some situations. Maximum-likelihood methods are, however, relatively complex and can be computationally slow. In this paper we develop methods for mapping QTL based on multiple…

Aspects of maximum likelihood methods for the mapping of quantitative trait loci in line crosses
- Biology
- 1992
The use of adjacent (flanking) marker pairs gave improved power for the detection of QTL over the use of single markers when markers were widely spaced and the QTL effect large and made the method less sensitive to violations of assumptions, for example non-normality of the distribution.
Methods for multiple-marker mapping of quantitative trait loci in half-sib populations
- BusinessTheoretical and Applied Genetics
- 2004
The least-squares approach using multiple markers provides a fast method that can easily be extended to include additional effects, and a number of assumptions have been made in order to make the likelihood calculations feasible, however, and computationally it is still more demanding than the least-Squares approach.
High resolution of quantitative traits into multiple loci via interval mapping.

The core of the method is the completion of any missing genotypic (QTL and marker) observations, which is embedded in a general and simple expectation maximization (EM) algorithm to obtain maximum likelihood estimates of the model parameters.
Combining different line crosses for mapping quantitative trait loci using the identical by descent-based variance component method.
- MathematicsGenetics
- 1998
This work adopts the identical by descent (IBD)-based variance component method originally applied to human linkage analysis by combining multiple line crosses as independent families and explores the properties of consensus QTL mapping and demonstrates the method with F2, backcross (BC), and full-sib (FS) families.
Combining Data From Multiple Inbred Line Crosses Improves the Power and Resolution of Quantitative Trait Loci Mapping

It is demonstrated that the combined-cross analysis can improve the power to detect weak QTL, can narrow support intervals for QTL regions, and can be used to separate multiple QTL that colocalize by chance.

QTL analysis: a simple ‘marker-regression’ approach
- BiologyTheoretical and Applied Genetics

A method to locate quantitative trait loci on a chromosome and to estimate their additive and dominance effects is described, and the estimates of location and gene effects are consistent and as reliable as conventional flanking-marker methods.
Bayesian mapping of multiple quantitative trait loci from incomplete inbred line cross data.
- Biology, MedicineGenetics

Two new probabilistic measures will be used to summarize the results from the statistical analysis: the (posterior) QTL intensity, for estimating the number of QTLs in a chromosome and for localizing them into some particular chromosomal regions, and the locationwise distributions of the phenotypic effects of theQTLs.

The interval mapping method has been shown to be a powerful tool for mapping QTL. However, it is still a challenge to perform a simultaneous analysis of several linked QTLs, and to isolate multiple…

The animal model using parental observations is shown to have advantages in estimating QTL position and additive genotypic value, especially when the polygenic heritability is large and the number of progeny per parent is small.

The results suggested that, for a trait with low heritability (soluble solids), the phenotype of F3 progeny could be predicted more accurately from the genotype of the F2 parent at QTLs than from the phenotypic variation of theF2 individual.
