Prior information on gene effects at individual quantitative trait loci (QTL) and on recombination rates between marker loci and QTL is derived. The prior distribution of QTL gene effects is assumed to be exponential with major effects less likely than minor ones. The prior probability of linkage be

A Bayesian method was developed for identifying genetic markers linked to quantitative trait loci (QTL) by analyzing data from daughter or granddaughter designs and single markers or marker pairs. Traditional methods may yield unrealistic results because linkage tests depend on number of markers and
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 fla
The power of experiments aimed at detecting linkage between a quantitative locus and a marker locus, both segregating in the backross or F2 generation of a cross between two inbred lines, is examined. Given that the two lines are close to fixation for alternative alleles of both marker locus and qua
