ABSTRACT

Interpretation of experimental results from quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping studies on the predominant type of gene action can be severely affected by the choice of statistical model, experimental design, and provision of epistasis. In this study, we derive quantitative genetic expectations of (i) QTL effects obtained from one-dimensional genome scans with the triple testcross (TTC) design and (ii) pairwise interactions between marker loci using two-way analyses of variance (ANOVA) under the F^sub 2^- and the F∞-metric model. The theoretical results show that genetic ...
