Abstract:SummaryLinkage detection of a trait involves detecting regions of the genome that influence the trait. A wide variety of statistical models are currently employed for linkage analysis of quantitative traits. Many of these models are developed under some assumptions of the trait distributions. Violation of the assumptions about the trait generally affects the type I error and power for linkage detection. In this paper, we have proposed a trait-model-free approach for linkage analysis of a quantitative trait in … Show more
