The configurations try to cover the range of possible repartitions of QTL positions. |
The average likelihood shows a bell-shaped curve with the peak at the QTL position. |
The two leftmost parts show the main effects of QTL on chromosomes 4 and 11 and the rightmost part shows their joint effect. |
The RI lines were binned into genotypic pools to isolate the effects of the major QTL on chromosome 5 while holding the minor QTL constant. |
The present statistic assesses this association between QTL and trait sets for the whole data set. |
Each QTL effect is assumed to be a random realization sampled from a normal distribution with an unknown variance. |
