When heritability of the trait under investigation is low, replicated progenies can bring about a major reduction in the number of individuals that need to be scored for marker genotype in determining linkage between marker loci and quantitative trait loci (QTL). Savings are greatest when heritabili

A F2 population derived from a cross between European Large White and Chinese Meishan pigs was established in order to study the genetic basis of breed differences for growth and fat traits. Chromosome 4 was chosen for initial study as previous work had revealed quantitative trait loci (QTLs) on thi
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
