Carrying Out An Association Study of Candidate Gene With Trait Phenotype (Cont.)

Trait based analyses can be used to look at differences in allele frequency between the tails of the distribution from a large population, or between selection lines.
- When doing this 15% of the individuals from the population tails should be used - top 15% and bottom 15% for each trait.
- 15% of each selection line can be used.
