In this chapter, we present statistical methods for mapping quantitative-trait loci (QTLs) in outbred or complex pedigrees. Such pedigrees exist primarily in livestock populations, also in human populations, and occasionally in experimental animal or plant populations. The main focus of this chapter

Relationships between genotype x environment interaction and genetic correlation of the same trait measured in different fixed environments are derived by comparing the variance-covariance structures of observations between a one-way multiple-trait linear model and a two-way single-trait mixed linea
With the advent of dense single nucleotide polymorphism genotyping, population-based association studies have become the major tools for identifying human disease genes and for fine gene mapping of complex traits. We develop a genotypebased approach for association analysis of case-control studies o
Besides QTL location and the estimation of gene effects, QTL analysis based on genetic markers could be used to comprehensively investigate quantitative trait-related phenomena such as pleiotropy, gene interactions, heterosis, and genotype-by-environment interaction (G x E). Given that the G x E int
