abstractText | Recombinant inbred strains have been shown to be important tools for segregation and linkage analysis of multifactorial traits. Tests of association have been used as robust methods of linkage detection, however, guidelines for forming inferences from significance levels have not been generally available. In this paper, lessons learned from a Bayesian statistical approach to linkage analysis of Mendelian traits have been applied to studies of multifactorial traits. Criteria for detection of linkage based on Bonferroni's correction for multiple testing are also discussed. |
