A maximum-likelihood QTL mapping method that simultaneously exploits linkage and linkage disequilibrium and that is applicable in outbred half-sib pedigrees is described. The method is applied to fine map a QTL with major effect on milk fat content in a 3-cM marker interval on proximal BTA14. This proximal location is confirmed by applying a haplotype-based association method referred to as recombinant ancestral haplotype analysis. The origin of the discrepancy between the QTL position derived in this work and that of a previous analysis is examined and shown to be due to the existence of distinct marker haplotypes associated with QTL alleles having large substitution effects.
本文描述了一种最大似然QTL定位方法,该方法同时利用连锁和连锁不平衡,适用于远交半同胞家系。该方法用于精细定位一个对乳脂率有主要影响的QTL,该QTL位于近端BTA14上一个3-cM的标记区间内。通过应用一种基于单倍型的关联方法,即重组祖先单倍型分析,证实了该近端位置。本文还研究了本研究中得出的QTL位置与先前分析结果之间差异的来源,结果表明,这是由于存在与具有较大替代效应的QTL等位基因相关的不同标记单倍型。
