Molecular Genetic Strategies for QTL Detection

• Candidate gene approach
  • relies on population-wide linkage disequilibrium of polymorphism with QTL (if polymorphism = functional mutation)
    • QTL may be distant if LD is widespread
      

• Genome scan/anonymous marker approach
  • detection of QTL based on (loosely) linked markers
