Quantitative Trait Locus (QTL) Analysis
... How Is QTL Analysis Conducted? In order to begin a QTL analysis, scientists require two things. First, they need two or more strains of organisms that differ genetically with regard to the trait of interest. For example, they might select lines fixed for different alleles influencing egg size (one l ...
