Theme 4: Statistical and Computational Biology in Agriculture T4.1I Multivariate Statistical Analysis in Gene Mapping of Quantitative Trait Loci

Mapping genes that influence quantitative traits is an important endeavor in genetics, and has received tremendous attention since the birth of genetics as a science. It is the first step towards the eventual identification of these genes, which would lead to the understanding as to how genetic variability affects the variation of quantitative traits. Statistical inference for gene mapping consist…
