Statistical Genomics of Complex Traits. Linkage, Disequilibrium and QTL. 2007. (Statistics for Biology and Health). 365 p. gr8vo. Hardcover.
Introduces the basic concepts and methods that are useful in the statistical analysis and modeling of the DNA-based marker and pheno-typic data that arise in agriculture, forestry, experimental biology,etc. It concentrates on the linkage analysis of markers, map construction and quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping, and assumes abackground in regression analysis and maximum likelihood approaches.The strength of this book lies in the construction of general models andalgorithms for linkage analysis, as well as in QTL mapping in any kindof crossed pedigrees initiated with inbred lines of crops.
