In this paper, we investigate variance component models of both linkage analysis and high resolution linkage disequilibrium (LD) mapping for quantitative trait loci (QTL). The models are based on both ...
The nonrandom association between different genes, termed linkage disequilibrium (LD), provides a powerful tool for high-resolution mapping of quantitative trait loci (QTL) underlying complex traits.
Researchers at North Carolina State University have developed a new suite of statistical methods that dramatically improves ...
