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 ...

Much research has been done on linkage mapping of qualitative or quantitative trait loci (QTL). Schork investigated multipoint identity-by-descent analysis of human quantitative traits. 1 Fulker and ...

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.
