In interval mapping, any position on a linkage map is tested for the presence of a QTL affecting the trait. In F 1 progeny including n individuals, the phenotypic value of a trait for the i th F 1 individual, y i , is expressed as a linear model:.

Basten and Z. Broman, K. Sen and G. Based on an integrated linkage map constructed from two parental maps, a full-sib analysis of QTLs can be performed to investigate the presence of QTLs heterozygous in one or both parents. The full-sib analysis with model 2 requires marker haplotypes to be known for T 1 and T 2. Genetica — Knott, S. Elsen and C. Haley Methods for multiple-marker mapping of quantitative trait loci in half-sib populations.
In breeding of fruit trees such as apple, multiple full-sib families obtained from crosses among existing cultivars are established as a breeding population. The information of QTLs obtained from QTL analysis conducted individually for each of the multiple full-sib families can be integrated to increase the reliability of the estimated QTL positions and effects.
Genomes Costa, F. Veyrieras, J. Goffinet and A. BMC Bioinformatics 8: The parental cultivars used for crosses to establish multiple full-sib progenies may be genetically related due to their common ancestral cultivars.
By adding such ancestral cultivars, multiple full-sib families are treated as a large complex pedigree. The analysis of such a large pedigree allows the QTL positions and effects to be estimated more precisely. Bink, M. Jansen, M. Madduri, R. Voorrips, C. Durel, A. Kouassi, F. Laurens, F. Mathis, C.

Bayesian estimation was applied to estimate the model parameters, where the prior probabilities for the QTL number N , the QTL positions and effects, and the QTL genotypes of the founders were taken into consideration. Given the QTL genotypes of the founders, possible allele transmissions from the founders to the parental cultivars through all of the ancestors were simulated.
Association analysis is a method for finding an association between markers and loci affecting a trait by assessing the correlation between the genotypes of markers and phenotypes in an analyzed population. By using a large number of markers covering an entire genome, GWAS allows the confirming such an association for most genome segments. In GWAS, genome segments of analyzed individuals are discriminated based on the allelic states of markers located on the segments, whereas in QTL analysis those are discriminated based on their parental origins in the analyzed family.
In GWAS, therefore, various populations, including a collection of individuals sampled from wild populations, germplasm, and breeding cultivars, are analyzed in addition to the multi-generation families derived from crossing parental cultivars, as used in QTL analysis. In both GWAS and QTL analyses, the successful detection of genome regions associated with phenotypes relies on the availability of markers linked to the loci affecting a trait.
Based on the alleles generated by the 12 selected SSR markers, genetic diversity was estimated for the 26 Prunus rootstocks most commonly found in Chile using both traditional hierarchical clustering and model-based clustering methods. In this research, we used 48 highly polymorphic SSRs, distributed over the peach genome, to investigate the difference in genetic diversity, and linkage disequilibrium LD among Chinese cultivars, and North American and European cultivars, and the evolution of current peach cultivars. The fruit is intermediate in appearance between a peach and a nectarine, large and brightly colored like a red peach. Nature Publishing Group. The 20 SSR markers used in this study were evaluated in a population that contained 26 different Prunus genotypes belonging to three taxonomic groups and different subgenera Amygdalus , Prunus , and Cerasus described in Table 1. Webb] genotypes.
The linkage between markers and the loci in the genomes of parents is weakened by recombination events occurring as generations advance, but the decay of the linkage is subtle in QTL analysis due to the limited number of recombination events in a few generations. The existence of an association between markers and the loci in an analyzed population caused by linkage or some other factors, such as selection, over the history of the population is called linkage disequilibrium LD.
The length of a genome segment that can be covered by a marker depends on the degree of LD in the genome region in the population. In populations with a higher degree of LD, such as multi-generation families from crossing parental cultivars, the number of markers required for covering the entire genome is small, whereas numerous markers are required for covering the genome in populations with a lower degree of LD, such as a collection of distantly related individuals including germplasm collection. Mapping resolution is also influenced by the degree of LD, with finer resolution as the degree of LD decreases.
Recently, the information on several thousands to tens of thousands of SNPs distributed across a whole genome at high density has become available for fruit trees. Pressoir, W. Briggs, I. Bi, M. Yamasaki, J. Doebley, M. McMullen, B. Gaut, D. Nielsen, J. Holland et al.
In estimating the model parameters, a l and c j are treated as fixed effects and g i is treated as a random effect. The influence of the population structure is included in the model as non-genetic effects c j for some j in the model. Kinship relationships are considered in the construction of A using pedigree information or marker genotypes. Therefore, Z is regarded as the information of marker genotypes. Using the vector and matrix forms, model 4 is rewritten as:.
