✦ Synopsis

The use of information from flanking markers to estimate the position and size of the effect of a quantitative trait locus (QTL) lying between two markers is shown to be affected by QTLs lying in neighbouring regions of the chromosome. In some situations the effects of two QTLs lying outside the flanked region are reinforced in such a way that a 'ghost' QTL may be mistakenly identified as a real QTL. These problems are discussed in the framework of a backcross using a regression model as the analytical tool to present the theoretical results. Regression models that use information obtained from three or more nearby markers are shown to be useful in separating the effects of QTLs in neighbouring regions. A simulated data set exemplifies the problem and is analysed by the interval mapping method as well as by the regression model.

Sib pairs were selectively sampled for extreme concordance or discordance for the quantitative trait Q1, a simulated phenotype (GAW10). Two selective sampling criteria were used (SC1 and SC2), and results for these were compared to linkage analyses using all pairs (ALL). In total 773 sib pairs were

Genetic population differentiation is typically viewed as differentiation of population means. However, several theories of evolution and speciation postulate that populations differentiate not only with respect to the population means, but also with respect to the effects of alleles within these po
