Opis: Quantitive Trait Loci Analysis in Animals - Joel Ira Weller, J Weller

Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL) is a topic of major agricultural significance for efficient livestock production. This advanced level textbook covers all the statistical methods that have been used or proposed for detection and analysis of QTL and marker-and gene-assisted selection in animal genetics and breeding, as well as new advances that have revolutionized the field since the first edition. "...the book is certainly a must-have for anyone involved in the statistical analysis of QTL studies in livestock... and (is) a useful textbook for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students" - Chris Haley, Roslin Institute, on the first edition."1. Historical Overview; 2. Principles of Parameter Estimation; 3. Random and Fixed Effects, the Mixed Model; 4. Experimental Designs to Detect QTL, Generation of Linkage Disequilibrium; 5. QTL Parameter Estimation for Crosses between Inbred Lines; 6. Advanced Statistical Methods for QTL Detection and Parameter Estimation; 7. Analysis of QTL as Random Effects; 8. Statistical Power to Detect QTL, and Parameter Confidence Intervals; 9. Optimization of Experimental Designs; 10. Fine Mapping of QTL; 11. Complete Genome QTL Scans - The Problem of Multiple Comparisons; 12. Multiple Trait QTL Analysis; 13.Principles of Selection Index and Traditional Breeding Programmes; 14. Marker-assisted Selection - Theory; 15. Marker-assisted Selection - Results of Simulation Studies; 16. Marker-assisted Introgression.
