We present a very flexible method that allows us to analyze X-linked quantitative trait loci (QTL) in crosses between outbred lines. The dosage compensation phenomenon is modeled explicitly in an identity-by-descent approach. A variety of models can be fitted, ranging from considering alternative fixed alleles within the founder breeds to a model where the only genetic variation is within breeds, as well as mixed models. Different genetic variances within each founder breed can be estimated. We illustrate the method with data from an F(2) cross between Iberian x Landrace pigs for intramuscular fat content and meat color component a*. The Iberian allele exhibited a strong overdominant effect for intramuscular fat in females. There was also limited evidence of one or more regions affecting color component a*. The analysis suggested that the QTL alleles were fixed in the Iberian founders, whereas there was some evidence of segregation in Landrace for the QTL affecting a* color component.
我们提出了一种非常灵活的方法,可用于分析远交系之间杂交中的X连锁数量性状基因座(QTL)。在基于系谱的方法中明确对剂量补偿现象进行了建模。可以拟合多种模型,从考虑奠基品种内的替代固定等位基因到仅品种内存在遗传变异的模型,以及混合模型。可以估计每个奠基品种内不同的遗传方差。我们用伊比利亚猪与长白猪杂交的F(2)代中肌内脂肪含量和肉色成分a的数据说明了该方法。伊比利亚等位基因对雌性肌内脂肪表现出强烈的超显性效应。也有有限的证据表明存在一个或多个影响颜色成分a的区域。分析表明,QTL等位基因在伊比利亚奠基品种中是固定的,而对于影响a*颜色成分的QTL,长白猪中存在一些分离的证据。
