A Bayesian methodology has been developed for multiple quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping of complex binary traits that follow liability threshold models. Unlike most QTL mapping methods where only one or a few markers are used at a time, the proposed method utilizes all markers across the genome simultaneously. The outperformance of our Bayesian method over the traditional single-marker analysis and interval mapping has been illustrated via simulations and real data analysis to identify candidate loci associated with colorectal cancer.
已开发出一种贝叶斯方法,用于对遵循责任阈值模型的复杂二元性状进行多数量性状基因座(QTL)定位。与大多数一次仅使用一个或几个标记的QTL定位方法不同,该方法同时利用全基因组的所有标记。通过模拟和实际数据分析,已证明我们的贝叶斯方法优于传统的单标记分析和区间定位,以识别与结直肠癌相关的候选基因座。
