Popis: A two-locus segregation and linkage-analysis approach was used to characterize the genetic control of a complex trait (Q1) and to localize the genes that have detectable effects. The results suggested that a two-locus Mendelian model fit the data significantly better than a one-locus model. The linkage results based on the most parsimonious two-locus model revealed linkage of Q1 to two areas (MG2 and MG3), while there was less evidence for linkage using one-locus models. Results also suggested that the subphenotypes (Q2 and Q3) provided useful information for further analysis of Q1 using two-locus models. © 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
